Immigration curbs to hit economy hard this year, Dallas Fed study says https://t.co/1x2eXRBhoI
A recent study by the Dallas Federal Reserve projects that immigration restrictions implemented under the Trump administration will have a notable negative impact on the U.S. economy in 2025. The report estimates that reduced immigration could lower the country's GDP by up to one percentage point. The decline in the foreign-born labor force, which has decreased by approximately 735,000 since January 2025, is a key factor in this economic slowdown. The study highlights that fewer border crossings, rather than deportations, are the primary driver behind the reduced labor supply. Various sectors, from small farms to large corporations like Disney, are experiencing workforce shortages as a result of these immigration policies. While the impact on inflation is expected to be modest, the overall economic growth faces challenges due to the diminished immigrant labor force.
