Ms. Shierholz, you are president of the Economic Policy Institute in the USA, where presidential elections are coming up in November. The economy will be a key issue. A majority of voters have more confidence in former President Donald Trump than Vice President Kamala Harris. But what would be different under Harris than under Trump?
There is a big difference in how immigration is handled. Trump has talked a lot about deporting undocumented people. But these people are deeply integrated into the economy. They make up large parts of the agricultural sector, the construction industry and the hospitality industry. Deporting millions of workers would cause chaos.
