(The Hill) — A new analysis published Friday indicates that President Trump’s immigration strategies could lead to a significant reduction in the U.S. labor force, potentially shrinking it by 15 million individuals over the next ten years.
The National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) highlighted that the administration’s stance on both illegal and legal immigration might result in a workforce decrease of 6.8 million by 2028, expanding to 15.7 million by 2035. This reduction could slow economic growth by nearly one-third, adversely impacting U.S. living standards, according to the report evaluating the White House’s deportation measures.
The think tank’s findings predict that these immigration policies could notably increase the federal debt by $1.74 trillion and diminish the gross domestic product (GDP) by $12.1 trillion over the next decade.
