    Report : Economic Chilling effect of Trump immigration crack-down

    May 17, 2026

    Read article here.

    “ The mass deportations in Trump 2.0 are not helping the labor market overall and not creating more job opportunities for U.S.-born workers,” East says. In fact, she and her co-author find evidence that, if anything, the clampdown has hurt the employment prospects of U.S.-born workers, particularly working-class men who work in industries that are heavily reliant on undocumented workers, like construction.

    Their conclusion: “For every six lost male likely undocumented workers, there is a loss of one male U.S.-born worker.“

    The report “Labor Market Impacts of ICE Activity in Trump 2.0” by Elizabeth Cox and Chloe N. East is from the National Bureau of Economic Research.

    Border Crossings Up

    May 13, 2026

    This video describes the situation at the border during early 2026 and that border crossings are higher now than they were a year ago. There were 8268 apprehensions at the border in March 2026 – a 15% increase over those apprehended in March 2025. Border Patrol thinks that they apprehend only 33% of the border crossers. Also, the video shows that Cochise County, Arizona (as an example) uses cameras to watch people crossing – as does California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
