The Peoples Voice Podcast | ICE Raids Causing U.S. Worker Shortage

The Peoples Voice PodcastRecent studies suggest ICE raids and stricter immigration policies are worsening workforce shortages across the United States.

As a result, fewer workers are available to take these physically demanding, low-paying jobs. President Donald Trump claimed stricter policies would protect “Black jobs” and benefit U.S.-born workers. However, many of these jobs still remain unfilled across the country.
