Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has pledged to initiate the largest deportation event in U.S. history if elected, claiming that immigrants are taking jobs from Black and Hispanic workers. Despite his assertions, data contradicts this narrative. Trump's plan, supported by Senator JD Vance, aims to curb illegal immigration and boost wages for American workers. Vance has outlined that the mass deportation strategy would incentivize businesses to hire millions of U.S. workers who have left the labor force. He emphasized that the operation would target companies employing illegal labor, arguing that it would prevent American businesses from undermining domestic wages. Vance also criticized current border policies, attributing the wealth of Mexican drug cartels to the actions of Vice President Kamala Harris. His remarks were made during a visit to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where he addressed the economic impacts of illegal immigration.
