I spoke at @piie.com about the crisis in US immigration policy.
The mass exclusion of US immigrants that begins in 10 weeks will eliminate jobs for US natives and raise the federal deficit (that is: will raise taxes on natives and our children).

Take 15 minutes to listen to why destroying all forms of immigration is incredibly destructive to the US economy.
The MAGA regime are abducting tax-payers, consumers, parents and workers and sending them to brutal foreign prisons while closing all doors to the US.

“Because the volume of detentions is so high and people are really stretched thin in the work that they’re doing, it’s not shocking or surprising that this type of mistake could happen,” Kerry Doyle, the top ICE lawyer during the Biden administration, said of Mr. Juarez’s case.
Deported former Trump employee:
"It is unclear how many other immigrants like Mr. Juarez have been erroneously removed, in part because ICE has not in the past tracked such cases."

Trump is a self-inflicted wound to our economic growth and achievement.
President Donald Trump’s sweeping crackdown on immigration is throwing foreigners out of work and shaking the American economy and job market.
President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown weighs heavy on the US labor market
Trump is attacking immigration at both ends of spectrum, deporting low-wage laborers and discouraging skilled foreigners from bringing their talents to the United States.

Trump immigration policies are a massive self-inflicted economic wound.
Immigration to the United States generates economic activity and creates jobs for American workers. What Trump is doing is not routine immigration enforcement, he’s trying to eliminate the immigrant workforce that has made our economy the strongest in the world.
South Korean workers detained during a massive immigration raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia will be returned to South Korea on a chartered flight. @andreaflores.bsky.social of @fwd.us said the workers were here “not to take jobs, but create jobs.”

Trump immigration policies are a massive self-inflicted economic wound.
The economy and jobs have always been fig leafs for the anti-immigration movement, wrapping themselves in false - often literally backwards - economic arguments to persuade otherwise decent people to support the nativist's real agenda, a whiter nation.
It turns out Stephen Miller was incorrect. “The significant drop in foreign-born workers to the United States in 2025 has not made U.S. workers better off and instead has contributed to concerns about a stagnating economy.” @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social

Agree. Yet on the immigration side, reporters still mainly focus on "crackdown on undocumented" immigrants, which is both inaccurate and extremely generous to Trump, Miller and the white supremacists.
The new reality: Employers are pulling back as they adjust to the Trump economy, one that features heightened uncertainty, costlier foreign goods and a diminished labor supply amid immigration crackdowns.
