Immediate deportation of 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants
Undocumented immigrant labor contributes significantly to the workforce in many American industries. Because of low birth rates American and European populations are aging rapidly which creates a labor shortage that most European countries are struggling with. In the United States however this shortfall has been smoothed over with an influx of labor from other countries, most notably Mexico. Historically this has been a boon to many industries and the topic of much political discussion.

As reported by The Washington Post and broadcast by CBS 11/13/2016 on "60 minutes" one campaign promise that Donald Trump plans to keep is the immediate deportation of 2 to 3 million undocumented illegal immigrants. I would like to leave aside the political opinions of whether this is a good idea or not but instead to move ahead with a business perspective to discuss the outcome of such an action.
Some topics for discussion that I would like to see:
- Which industries will be most negatively impacted by this action, and why?
- Which industries (if any) might be positively impacted by this action, and why?
- What should business leaders in industries negatively impacted by this action do at this time to prepare for this promised January 2017 action?
- What should consumers expect as a result of this promised action throughout the 2017 year?
