Tuesday Night: Fruit Vegetables and Percent

tuesday night: Immigrants living illegally in the United States account for roughly 18 percent of employment in agriculture, 13 percent in construction and 10 percent at restaurants, hotels and casinos, according to a study done last year by the National Bureau of Economic Research, according to The Japan Times. The economic shock would cause widespread ramifications, says Ben Gitis, director of labor market policy at the American Action Forum, a conservative think tank. That's the view of many economists, who say the United States can't afford to suddenly lose vast numbers of the immigrants who work illegally picking fruit and vegetables, building houses, busing tables, staffing meat-packing plants and cleaning hotel rooms. Addressing Congress on Tuesday night, Trump vowed to build a great, great wall to bar Mexican from entering the United States illegally. The president's tough talk followed remarks he had made to CBS's 60 Minutes after his November election He warned that his administration might deport 2 million to 3 million of those living in the country illegally. Even as he spoke, the president said, U.S. authorities were deporting the bad ones. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
