In the midst of the harsh immigration crackdown going on under President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, many are not aware or care to realize the dramatic impact of what is occurring on the American economy.
More than 1.2 million immigrants disappeared from the labor force between January and July 2025.
Immigrants are 20 percent of the American labor force, whether legal or undocumented.
45 percent of workers in agriculture, fishing, and forestry are immigrants.
30 percent of construction workers and 24 percent of service workers are immigrants.
43 percent of home health care aides are immigrants.
Besides the human suffering being caused by ICE raids and deportations, many industries and many millions of Americans are being harmed by the narrow minded policy of working to deport all immigrants that can be found, not just those who have committed serious crimes.
