The Economic and Fiscal Impacts of Mass Deportation: What’s at Risk in Your State?
The Trump Administration has begun an unprecedented intensity of enforcement actions aimed at removing immigrants from their communities, their workplace, and often from their families. In many cases this may result in deportations, in many others it may mean indefinite incarceration in detention centers. The new administration is also promising to radically reduce the number of new immigrants allowed into the country, and to strip some immigrants of status they currently hold.
The immigrants most vulnerable are those who are undocumented. But the impact does not end there. People who have temporary visas may see them terminated or unrenewed. People with temporary protected status, asylum seekers, DACA recipients, and many others are also in a precarious position.
There are far-reaching social and humanitarian implications of this type of enforcement regime. But there is also an economic risk that can be quantified. In January we co-released, “The Economic and Fiscal Impacts of Mass Deportation: What’s at Risk in New York,” and since then we have worked in collaboration with the State Immigration Project to highlight the risks in states across the country.
