Summary
President-elect Trump's plans for mass deportations may significantly impact the U.S. economy, exacerbating labor shortages in key sectors like agriculture and construction, while also raising concerns about an aging population. Analysts suggest that reduced immigration could lead to stagnant growth, increased inflation, and a higher elderly demographic in the workforce. The complexity of government debt related to deportation policies further complicates the fiscal implications, with studies showing potential long-term costs outweighing benefits. Despite these projections, skepticism remains regarding the feasibility of extreme deportation measures.
