Trump drives a major wage increase by restricting illegal immigration
According to several economists, the policies of the President of the United States against illegal immigration would increase overall welfare
The recent immigration restrictions imposed by President Donald Trumpare generating wage increases in several labor sectors, according to even economists critical of his administration. The measure, which ends the federal welcome to millions of illegal migrants, is raising the wages of American workers in low-income occupations, although it has also caused tensions in some industries that relied on foreign labor. Wendy Edelberg, an economist at the Brookings Institution think tank, told Bloomberg on July 11 that "we'll see stronger wage growth in some occupations," especially in the agricultural sector and in home health care. Although she acknowledges that the departure of migrant workers will have "modest economic effects" on the overall size of the economy, she emphasizes that the immediate repercussions are more emotional and practical for companies facing staff shortages.
