During his campaign, President Trump promised radical changes to address the crisis of illegal immigration in the country, and a recent poll has shown that the majority of corporate executives are more than happy with these changes.
During the first day back in office, President Trump carried out several executive orders related to immigration, like ending birthright citizenship and carrying out mass deportations. Despite pushback from leftist politicians calling protecting American lives unconstitutional, a new poll has shown that the majority of U.S. executives find these policies to be pro-business and pro-worker.
Breitbart reported that the survey, conducted by Littler, a law practice that represents management, found that only six percent of corporate executives are “very concerned” about President Donald Trump’s pro-American migration policies. The survey included nearly 350 in-house lawyers, business executives, and human resources (HR) professionals across the country who represented numerous industries.
The survey sought to learn how U.S. employers adapt to the new executive orders, particularly immigration policies. Participants were asked, “To what extent is your organization concerned about workforce staffing challenges as a result of the Trump administration’s immigration policies?”
The results showed that close to 75 percent of participants revealed that they were only “slightly” concerned or “not at all” concerned about workforce staffing challenges related to immigration policies.
In an emailed statement obtained by Axios, White House spokesman Kush Desai addressed the concerns about labor shortages caused by migration reforms by writing, “Over one in ten young adults in America are neither employed, in higher education, nor pursuing some sort of vocational training.”
He added, “ There is no shortage of American minds and hands to grow our labor force, and President Trump’s executive order to modernize workforce training programs represents this Administration’s commitment to capitalizing on that untapped potential.”
Breitbart reported that during a House hearing on Tuesday, Border Security Secretary Kristi Noem reiterated that there should be no fear of a labor shortage as “The President believes that we have a workforce here that deserves jobs that pay very well with benefits and a future here in the United States.”
