Businesses may have to raise wages to attract workers. Right now, we have a surplus of labor. Wages would be going up, rather than stagnating or going down if we had a labor shortage.

In the DC/Arlington area, I’d take a guess that 20,000 live around there. Just at the Pentagon McDonalds, there were probably thirty employed there when I was around there in 2010-2013. Great workers, and very capable.
In Arlington, we had a old fashion breakfast grill operation, and all of the grill guys were Salvadorans (probably a dozen).
What I would question...if just in the DC area that 20,000 are forced to leave...how quick will they find people who work at the basic pay-level?
So your argument is let them stay because they work cheap?
“how quick will they find people who work at the basic pay-level?
I’m pretty sure it will be as quick as those welfare-to-work rules go back into effect...

The smart affected employers will begin their personnel search NOW! They may have to increase the wages they pay to recruit and retain suitable US citizen employees. — and THAT is not a bad thing
How quick will they find 20,000 more democrat votes?
