Any employer seeking to make a permanent hire has to be able to provide some assurance to top candidates that they will not be deported suddenly (who would take that risk?). Of course no one can guarantee what government will do. But it doesn’t help hiring global talent to have chaotic rules

Rachel Maddow: “The Trump economy is not going great. Whatever the opposite is of great, that's how it's going — in just the first month of this year, 2026, the total number of layoffs in this country was more than 108,000 — that's more layoffs in any January since 2009, since the Great Recession”

The admin's policies are slowing economic growth and raising prices. Deportations are horrific and they are not the only harmful thing. They also are part of an overall economically harmful agenda that benefits the few at the top.

The employed shares of both the foreign born and the native born population were flat throughout 2025. Deporting people does not create economic opportunities that require some adjustment. They hurt everyone with fewer employment opportunities, less growth and higher inflation.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."
