California’s Economy Getting Hit By Immigration Raids
A June report from the Bay Area Council Economic Institute found that, based on their wage contributions to the economy alone, undocumented workers generate nearly 5% of California’s gross domestic product. That proportion rises to 9% when ripple effects of their labor are added.
With 2.28 million undocumented immigrants living in California, they represent 8% of workers in the state. And the population has deep roots, with nearly two-thirds having lived in the state for over a decade. Their total contribution in local, state and federal taxes is $23 billion annually, according to the Bay Area Council Economic Institute.

Isaias Alvarado, Univisión reporter, as part of an interview on the ICE raids occurring in L. A., took up my idea of doing a segment on the Repatriation of Mexican families in the 1930’s – who were used as scapegoats for the depression. Very similar to those times, the Trump administration is covering up an increasing federal debt and economic crisis – by placing the blame on our immigrant communities – and advancing all means of unjust enforcement to divide our communities and movements.
