Trump's immigration policy may affect Americans. “There will be a rapid increase in inflation”

During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly announced that he would seal the borders and carry out the largest deportation in the history of the country. This could mean expelling some 11 million people who are in the United States illegally. – I will save every city in America that has been invaded and conquered. We will put these cruel and bloodthirsty criminals in jail or kick them out of our country as quickly as possible. – he said at one of the rallies.

Donald Trump promised to expand and strengthen the wall on the border with Mexico, which he did not complete during his first term. He announced the restoration of the entry ban for Muslims and the introduction of “ideological controls for all immigrants.”

Trump says he will use an 18th-century law to “dismantle every immigrant criminal network on American soil.” “Not one cent should go to subsidizing undocumented immigrants, nor to cities that shelter them, nor to federal aid,” said Vivek Ramaswamy of the Republican Party.

According to the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group, detaining and deporting everyone in the United States illegally could cost the country $315 billion.

The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates that if about eight million people were deported, prices would rise by more than 9 percent by 2028. Apartment prices will also go up because foreigners constitute at least 25 percent of those employed in construction. “There will be a rapid increase in inflation. Demand will be greater than the ability of American companies to provide goods and services,” says Prof. in the New York Times. Michael Clemens of George Mason University.

Immigrants who have applied for asylum and have been waiting for months to talk to US officials fear that when Trump returns to power, the meetings will be canceled.

We were kidnapped, women were raped, migrants were killed. Please help us – appeals Andreina Canizalez, an immigrant from Venezuela.

Critics say Trump's actions could lead to violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. Immigrant rights activists believe that families will again be separated at the border. – I think we will see many migrants who will want to cross the border illegally. People will take more risks and try to cross in more dangerous places, says Jose Gracia, an immigrant rights activist.

New administration officials are reportedly planning to use the military to deport immigrants. Trump also intends to hire about 10,000 additional border guards. This can be a difficult task because due to low morale and funding problems, it is a big problem to fill existing positions.
