The competition among global political and economic elites to attend U.S. President Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was a symbol of the history-making at stake.

In November, Trump pledged to…
Mass deportation is often framed as a pro‑worker policy. Remove unauthorized immigrants, the argument goes, and native wages will rise as labor supply contracts. This logic is intuitive, politically potent, and economically incomplete. Mass deportation is a massive market intervention. When examined through the lens of labor markets, production complementarities, and historical evidence, mass deportation emerges not as a wage‑enhancing reform but as a broad negative shock—one that reduces output, raises prices, and ultimately leaves most American workers worse off. Current proposals target roughly 11 million unauthorized immigrantsof whom an estimated 8.5–10.8 million participate in the labor force. The scale…
