Stripping millions of immigrants of their ability to legally work will not only just cripple the labor market, it will also reduce demand. Immigrants losing jobs means fewer people paying rent, car insurance, buying groceries, etc. White nativism is terrible for the economy.

Out of 34 Sea Grant programs, Maine’s is the only one targeted for elimination by Trump. This isn’t about trans people playing sports. It’s clearly retribution for the Governor standing up to Trump, it doesn’t matter what the policy disagreement is. www.mainecoastfishermen.org/post/press-r...
