"Andres Oppenheimer wrote in the Miami Herald: 'You don't have to be an expert to speculate that detentions of undocumented factory workers, restaurant dishwashers, house cleaners, nannies and gardeners will increase in the coming months. Trump has said he wants to deport most of the estimated 11 to 13 million unauthorized immigrants, but only up to 650,000 of them are estimated to have criminal records. As criminals become harder to find, where do you think Trump will find more potential deportation subjects, if not among those who aren't criminals?
'The U.S. economy needs more—not fewer—immigrants. In part because of declining U.S. birth rates, there are 8 million job openings in America but only 6.8 million unemployed workers, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Without immigrants, labor costs will rise, and so will inflation. The bottom line is that it's OK to deport foreign criminals, and there's no question that America needs to fix its immigration system. But detaining people who clean shrimp at a Newark seafood market while freeing Jan. 6 violent rioters is not only morally questionable but economically insane.'"
