The trucking industry, a backbone of the US economy, is most likely to bear the brunt of the mass deportation plan. Truck drivers are largely immigrants who have been living and working in the US for years. The US trucking sector is already facing a critical shortage of drivers, with estimates suggesting that the US is short of over 50,000 drivers.
Sending them back would not only mean separating them from their families, but will lead to a significant shortage of drivers, leaving companies in distress to find qualified drivers, and worsen the existing truck driver shortage in the US.
As most warehouses and distribution facilities depend on immigrant labor to manage their operations. Deporting these workers will lead to a severe workforce shortage, causing disruptions and delays. This will result in higher business costs, inefficiency, and a negative effect on the entire economy.
While many undocumented immigrants will be deported, others may be repatriated to their home countries. The repatriated individuals will experience significant difficulty readjusting in their home countries due to cultural, economic, and social impediments. The economic consequences of mass deportation will be dire. It will cause unemployment to rise, economic growth to slow, and competitiveness to decline. Moreover, economists project that this may also trigger a recession, exacerbated by the existing low birth rate in the US and potential hike in prices for consumers.
