(Kron) – As the Trump administration continues to push it until I immigration and customs enforcement agents have immigrants who are not documented from all aspects of life, a recent study in addition to the human influence that California residents will also have an economic price for payment.
Many understand the human influence to intensify ice deportation. But this round has also begun to have a major impact on the California economy.
“There is a tremendous level of economic impact that can be expected if the federal government continues to deport at a collective level, at the level they are talking about,” says Sean Randolf of the Gulf Economic Institute.
A report issued by the Economic Institute of the Gulf Region Council says that more than a quarter of the agricultural workforce in the state is not documented, and without it, the resulting gross domestic product may decrease by 14 %.
“A 90 -year -old woman, with her husband, years ago, planted a 40 acres of nuts, which she had tended for a long time. Two weeks ago, ice agents appeared and took all the workers,” he claimed Randolph.
Randolph says Crop will now become unintended, as well as others on California farms that are affected by similar raids. The effect is not only for workers and farmers but those who buy these products.
“The pressure will be that the prices will now rise from a table grape,” says Randolph. “Wine can be, it can definitely be every type of almond, nuts, spinach, all the things we grow in the central valley, and the valley of Salinas.”
The report also indicates that the removal of uncomfortable immigrants take about 4.9 billion who pay it in the taxpayer and sales that will affect the economies and local governments that provide services to all.
“We need concern about retail and restaurants at every level,” says Randolph. “Many of them are still struggling to get out of the epidemic. Thus, you take revenues away from them, you get a sales tax away from the city’s revenues. So again, it is following the economy at different levels.”
