One of the main arguments to justify the aggressive deportation policy says that the space that an undocumented person occupies today is immediately replaced by a native American. That's not how they picture it, in some cases it's quite the opposite.

The Trump Administration is selling roundups and expulsions of undocumented immigrants as an easy solution to people's concerns. is happy about the rising prices, the lack of housing, a deficient health system and very little confidence that the White House can remedy these emergencies. The most repeated is the concept that deported immigrants leave vacancies that are occupied by native citizens. Since the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, even Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessentt, have been repeating that solution to resolve unemployment.

That is an illusion. The deportations, in addition to not creating jobs, are harmful to natives.According to a detailed analysis by the National Bureau of Economy Research, “we find no indications that and produce positive indirect effects for workers born in the United States, even those natives who work in sectors with a high presence of immigrants are harmed.”

The study is the only of its kind carried out at the same time that ICE forces invaded democratic cities with a repression that caused two deaths of U.S. citizens. The analysis measured the relationship in the labor sector between deported immigrants and citizens hired for that position.

What's more, mass deportations can have negative economic consequences, as they could reduce the tax base, increase prices of goods and services. In addition, to aggravate the labor shortage in key sectors such as agriculture and construction.

Americans aspire to supervisor positions, but no one wants to bend over to pick up the strawberry. At the same time, the construction industry is down because there are no electricians, plumbers, and people who work on drywall.

The idea of job-replacement occurring is naive and simplistic because it sees deportation only as one employee going and another arriving. However, imp acts negatively on the economy, because those expelled were consumers who are no longer able to make purchases, to contribute taxes whether to the purchase or to the income.

The study concludes that undocumented immigrants and workers born in the United States are complementary, and not substitutes, in the labor market. There is also generational replacement of labor.

Everything requires a clear and realistic vision instead of anti-immigrant hysteria.
