The migrant repression risks strangling the decisive supplies of workers in the United States

In his 1,200 people’s cleaning work in Maryland, CEO Victor Moran is carefully exchanging new recruits to ensure that they are authorized to work in the United States.

However, President Donald Trump’s campaign began for immigrants in the workforce.

About 15 people left his company, comprehensive quality, as Trump won a fight to strip the migrants from Venezuela and Nicaragua from temporary protection that protects them from deportation.

If the White House has expanded its efforts, hundreds of its workers, who depend on similar work permits, may cost him and it will be difficult to replace.

Similar types of fears are frequent in companies throughout the United States, as it seems that the Trump deportation campaign is rising, which aims to strangle the supplies of workers who are increasingly important to the American economy.

Almost one in five workers in the United States was a migrant last year, according to census data. This represents a record in contracts dating back, up from less than 10 % in 1994.

Trump said that he illegally targeted people in the United States, which represents an estimated 4 % of the American workforce. His pledge to perform mass deportations was a focus of his campaign and a case that prompted it widespread support, including many Spanish -desperate voters.

His administration resumed the raids in the workplace, a tactic that was suspended under Biden’s leadership.

But the efforts of the White House were much broader in its scope, as it aims at people in the United States with student visas; Refugee acceptance suspension; And the transition to cancel the temporary and other protection permits granted to migrants by former presidents.

The procedures threaten the disruption of millions of people, many of whom lived and worked in the United States for years.

“We are terrified,” says Gustino Gomez, who is originally from El Salvador and lived in the United States for three decades.

The 73 -year -old is allowed to work under a program known as TPS, which gives temporary work permits and deportation, based on the conditions in the countries of the countries of the migrants.

His work helped him first as cooking dishes and line in a restaurant, and now as a cleaner, he helped him send a adopted daughter in El Salvador to school to become a teacher.

But Trump has already taken steps to end the program for people from Haiti and Venezuela. Mr. Gomez, who lives in the state of Maryland, fears that El Salvador will be the next.

“Every time I leave the house, I have this pressure in my mind,” I told BBC, through a translator presented by his labor union, 32BJ Seiu. “Even when I go to the metro, I am afraid that the ice is there waiting for our kidnapping.”

Many Trump’s actions were subject to a legal challenge, including a TPS lawsuit filed by SEIU.

But even if the White House does not succeed in intensifying arrests and deportation, analysts say that the crackdown can weigh the economy in the short term, because it scares people like Mr. Gomez to hide and slow the expatriates.

The growth in the workforce, which was supported by immigrants, has already been settled since January, when Trump took office.

Since companies are having difficulty finding workers, they will be limited to their ability to grow, slow the economy, and economist Giovanni Perry from the University of California, Davis.

The smaller workforce can also feed inflation, by forcing companies to push more to recruit employees.

If policies are sustainable, they may have long -term economic consequences, and Professor Perry adds. It refers to the example of Japan, which has witnessed its shrinking economy because it maintains a cover for migration and the age of the population.

He says: “The unremitted raids are a policy that really wants to transform the United States from one of the places where immigrants come, and they are combined and part of the community’s success into a closed country.”

“Instead of the growth engine, it will become a more stagnant, slow and less dynamic economy.”

Many companies say it is already difficult to find people to fill the available jobs.

Adam Lambert, CEO of Cambridge and Manchester Care, who provides living and care at home, says about 80 % of his 350 employees born abroad.

He says: “I do not go out and put ads for non -citizens to fill our roles.” “It is the immigrants who answer the call.”

Like Mr. Moran, he said that Trump’s movements have already been charged with some workers, who were delegated to work on temporary permits.

He said he was also concerned about the effects of Trump’s repression on his work, which in some respects compete with unconventional workers used directly to families to provide care.

He said that if these workers are forced to go out, this will increase the demand for his employees – which compels him to pay more and raise their prices in the end.

He warned, “We will have incredible inflation if all of these people scraped.” “We cannot do without these people in the workforce.”

Esmail Porsa CEO says that the changes in Trump’s policy have already led in Harris Health System, a major hospital network in Texas, to the loss of some workers.

He says that training American workers to fill the jobs available in his sector will take years, given the increasing needs.

He says: “As the population progresses and we move on to one source that can be applicable to the current and future workforce, this issue will reach some extent,” he says.

Trump acknowledged last week that his policies created by his policies for sectors that depend greatly on the undocumented employment, such as hospitality and agriculture, even stopping work raids in some industries temporarily after receiving a reaction from his Republican colleagues.

However, despite concerns about the economic impact, Minister of the Ministry of Internal Security Ministry told the BBC that such raids remain the “cornerstone” of their efforts.

Jim Topin, head of the National Association for the Building of House, which represents companies in the sector, says that companies throughout the country explain to see some work teams stop work, which will slow the construction and raise costs in a sector where prices are a source of anxiety.

The Industry called on Congress to reform immigration laws, including creating a special visa program for building workers.

But Mr. Tobin says he does not expect major changes in immigration policy soon.

“I think it will take a signal from the president about the time when the time is to participate,” he says. “Now everything is about implementation.”
