Trump's mass deportation plan may raise U.S. prices, experts warn

President-elect Donald Trump's mass deportation plan could impact U.S. prices, despite a cooling inflation in 2024. Experts warn that removing a large number of undocumented immigrants may disrupt supply chains and lead to higher prices and fewer services. A study indicates that for every 500,000 immigrants deported, about 44,000 U.S.-born workers could lose their jobs. Many undocumented immigrants work in sectors like construction and agriculture, which are crucial for goods and services experiencing price increases. Experts suggest that past mass deportation efforts show a likely rise in prices for goods and services heavily reliant on unauthorized immigrant labor. The full economic effects of the plan remain uncertain.
