ENGLISH WITH NEWS

Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Sparks Economic and Social Concerns

President Donald Trump's administration has ramped up mass deportations, targeting up to 1,500 undocumented immigrants per day. Economists warn that this could slow economic growth, particularly in sectors like agriculture and construction, while the Social Security Administration estimates a $20 billion annual loss in contributions. Socially, the crackdown has heightened fear in immigrant communities and drawn criticism from civil rights groups, with public figures like Selena Gomez voicing concerns over its human impact.

Key Words:

  1. Deportation (n.) – The act of expelling a foreigner from a country.

    • Example: The government's deportation of undocumented workers has sparked nationwide protests.

  2. Sanctuary City (n.) – A city that limits its cooperation with the national government's effort to enforce immigration law.

    • Example: Chicago is known as a sanctuary city, offering protections to undocumented immigrants.

  3. Undocumented Immigrant (n.) – A foreign-born person who lacks legal residency or citizenship status in the country they reside in.

    • Example: Undocumented immigrants often face challenges accessing healthcare and education.

The administration's mass deportation strategy has far-reaching implications, affecting the economy, social fabric, and the lives of millions. As the situation evolves, it is crucial to consider both the policy's objectives and its broader consequences. (BUSINESS INDSIDER)
