Summary
A new study finds that Trump administration deportations are negatively impacting American workers, particularly in the construction industry. Contrary to the narrative that deportations protect American jobs, the study shows that American-born workers are losing more jobs than immigrants as a result of the deportations. The home building industry, already under strain, faces additional challenges due to the surge in deportations.
