The article from The Independent discusses a report by the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, which warns that President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation of undocumented immigrants could severely impact the U.S. economy. The report estimates that such actions could lead to a 7.4% drop in GDP by 2028, effectively halting economic growth during Trump’s second term. This decline could surpass the economic downturn experienced during the Great Recession. The report also highlights potential disruptions in various sectors, including construction, agriculture, and services, due to the sudden removal of a significant portion of the workforce.
