This is an opportunity to reinvest in our own citizens with training, incentive, and a return to a path toward sanity and self-respect instead of governmental nannyism and state sponsored hate. We haven't been very good with opportunities lately.

You used the right term (and I’m sure it isn’t merely by luck): investment or reinvestment.

Trump immigration policy may be shrinking labor force, economists say​

Early evidence suggests that White House policy is reducing the size of the immigrant labor force, in turn contributing to a recent drawdown in the overall U.S. labor pool, according to several economists.

CNBC spoke with a range of economists from financial firms, economic research institutions and think tanks, and also reviewed recent research notes and analyses that economists have published on immigration and the job market.

If a reduction in the immigrant labor force is sustained, such a trend would be a concern for the U.S. economy, those experts have said or written.

That’s because the economy will increasingly rely on immigrants to fuel population and labor force growth given demographic trends among the U.S.-born populace, like retirements among baby boomers and lower fertility rates, they said.

The downward shift in the immigrant labor force in recent months is “definitive,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s.

“There’s no debate what’s going on there,” Zandi said.

Immigration is ‘taking pressure off’ the job market and U.S. economy, expert says​

The share of immigrants in the U.S. labor force has steadily increased for more than a decade, and that growth is poised to continue — a trend economists say benefits the American workforce and economy.

In 2006, 15.3% of the civilian labor force was made up of “foreign-born” workers, or those born outside the U.S., according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That share hit a record 18.6% in 2023.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said the increase in foreign-born workers is “taking pressure off the economy.”

“In fact, it’s probably one reason why the economy grew so strongly last year,” he said.

A shortage of workers is both inflationary and a detriment to GDP growth. But the policies causing it scratch the xenophobic itch of the prez's base and is an essential component of his platform. Or should I say Stephen Miller's?

Hey stupid, your days of importing brown slaves are over.

Lazy Americans need to get off their ass and go to work.

Deal with it.

It's so garish it's like a parody of itself. Next, maybe he'll have the Resolute Desk dipped in gold.

Ok. So you have an issue with President Trump’s style sense.

How crucial. !!

I am not fond of the work done by his interior decorators, either. I guess we have to give his immediate predecessor another term.

Yes. Yes. I’m certain that will help.

‘Flying Blind’: Trump Strips Government of Expertise at a High-Stakes Moment​

For decades, American presidents have relied on the expertise of foreign policy professionals to help guide them through tricky negotiations in high-stakes conflicts around the globe.

President Trump has taken a different approach toward such experts: He’s fired them.

Now, as Mr. Trump tries to navigate perhaps the trickiest negotiation of his presidency — ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine — he is doing so after having stripped away much of the infrastructure designed to inform him about Pr

esident Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and to keep the United States from being outmaneuvered or even duped.

“They’re flying blind without the expertise,” said Evelyn N. Farkas, executive director of the McCain Institute at Arizona State University. She said the kinds of people who had been fired “have seen all the intelligence relating to Vladimir Putin’s intentions. They have spies on the ground. They know all kinds of information that’s gained through technical means.”

Mr. Trump has gutted the National Security Council, the collection of foreign policy analysts who have helped guide U.S. foreign policy for decades, cutting the staff by more than half. He has purged experts from the intelligence agencies because of tangential connections to a nearly decade-old investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
