\u201cEnough is enough \u2013 Stephen Miller and Trump\u2019s chaos campaign needs to end now. They are violating constitutional rights, terrorizing neighborhoods and businesses, and targeting people because of their skin color and the language they speak. These heartless and cruel actions have real consequences for our economy and society.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Economic impact of this cruel policy<\/h2>\n

Trump\u2019s actions have a chilling effect \u2013 the state\u2019s economy is likely to contract later this year due to fallout from global tariffs and immigration raids in Los Angeles and other cities that have rattled key sectors, including construction, hospitality, and agriculture, according to a UCLA Anderson forecast.<\/p>\n

Mass\u00a0deportations<\/a>\u00a0in California could slash $275 billion from the state\u2019s economy and eliminate $23 billion in annual tax revenue. The loss of immigrant labor would delay projects (including rebuilding Los Angeles after the wildfires), reduce food supply, and drive up costs.<\/p>\n

Undocumented<\/a>\u00a0immigrants contributed $8.5 billion in state and local taxes in 2022 \u2014 a number that would rise to $10.3 billion if these taxpayers could apply to work lawfully.<\/p>\n
