From Offices to Disney World, Employers Brace for the Loss of an Immigrant Work Force
The Trump administration’s ending of temporary legal status for Salvadorans and Haitians means that employers who depend on them will have to look harder for help.
"They,
like other unauthorized immigrants, have become indispensable parts of
certain industries, taking jobs that employers say no one else will and
that immigration restrictionists say could attract Americans if
companies were willing to pay more.
“T.P.S.
does not exist for the convenience of industries that rely on low-wage
foreign labor,” said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
The
companies create “self-fulfilling prophecies” by offering little pay
and grueling conditions, he said: “When Americans reject the wages and
working conditions they offer, they then argue that Americans are
unwilling to take the jobs.”"
A wage - price spiral is a distinct possibility.
A positive spiral is inflation. A negative spiral is deflation.
Immigrant labor has tended to control inflation.
