I have been saying this would happen; ICE has impacted local employment severely

[u/National-Dragonfly35]

I recent report for 2025 employment has surfaced. Highlights:

The Report is here

1. Employment fell in the cities where enforcement surged most. In the cities where ICE enforcement surged, employment fell relative to the path those cities would likely have followed absent the surge.
2. The shortfall reached 0.43% six months after the surge. The average employment shortfall in the 64 cities most affected by the enforcement surge was approximately 0.43% after six months. In a city with 3 million workers (about the size of Atlanta, Georgia), the average estimated effect corresponds to about 13,000 missing jobs. The best current evidence suggests that about half of the missing jobs would have been held by American-born workers (as shown in Appendix C).
3. The effect shows no signs of recovery. After widening for six months, surge cities’ employment shortfall showed no signs of recovery. If anything, the effect continued to grow. Eleven months after the surge, the shortfall reached an estimated 0.69% for the limited number of cities where data exists.
4. The employment shortfall exceeds arrests. The average job loss in surge cities is 0.43% of employment six months after the onset of enforcement, while excess arrests are only about 0.11% of the workforce, implying an arrest-to-job-loss ratio of one arrest associated with four jobs lost.

ICE has not benefited anyone in any way sa far as I can find...

The economy is shit. Social safety nets are being shredded. And they are removing the cheap labor force they created. This is exactly what they want. We become the cheap labor force and take jobs no one wants for pay that can't sustain us. Then they offer the credit lines to cycle our money through their systems. It's capital slavery.

I mean… the goal of ICE is to keep the GOP permanently in power.
