Employers adapt to ICE raids and a workforce on edge

In this episode of Rapid Response, Bob Safian interviews Rebecca Shi, Executive Director of the American Business Immigration Coalition, about the increasing immigration raids at workplaces and the potential impact on the U.S. workforce. Rebecca discusses the internal conflicts within the Trump administration regarding deportation policies and how business leaders are advocating for alternative solutions. She highlights the importance of a balanced approach that secures the border while providing a legal and stable workforce. Rebecca also shares her optimism for immigration policy updates, particularly the Dignity Act, and emphasizes the economic consequences of mass deportations, such as increased grocery and housing prices, and the potential loss of American jobs. She stresses the need for Congress to step up and modernize the outdated immigration system to align with the current economy.
