History shows labor markets adapt to strong immigration restrictions

In light of resistance by Democratic politicians and judges and Republican donors and employer interests, in addition to a barrage of hysterical reporting and editorializing by the legacy media, the ability of the Trump administration to deport more than a limited number of criminal illegal immigrants is likely to be limited. But increased deportations would send a signal to the hundreds of millions of people in other countries who would like to move to the U.S. that they can only do so by applying legally and waiting in line. Not only the rule of law but also American workers and American productivity would benefit. If this be a deportation apocalypse, make the most of it.
