A lot of it has to do with them suffering so much here, being tired of having to live in hiding,\u201d Malu said.<\/p>\n<p>Even with more than 34,000 migrants still in the city\u2019s care, advocates warn that number doesn\u2019t reflect those leaving or avoiding the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re going to see is a lot more worker shortages. We\u2019re going to see a lot more people seeking work but can\u2019t work because they don\u2019t have work authorization,\u201d Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, said.<\/p>\n<p>Awawdeh\u2019s concern lines up with the numbers. Immigrants make up 19% of the U.S. labor force, down from 20% earlier this year, the Pew Research Center says. That\u2019s a loss of more than 750,000 workers since January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince day one of this administration, they have waged war against immigrants,\u201d Awawdeh said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House says they are cracking down on immigration as many \u201cpresent significant threats to national security and public safety\u201d and create an economic burden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are targeting those individuals that are perpetuators of crimes in this country, those who have final removal orders, those who have undergone due process, and are needing to be removed from this country. We will do that,\u201d Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the State Department is reviewing more than 55 million visas for possible revocation, a move immigrant groups say only fuels uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Trump administration continues to sow mass fear, panic and chaos in our communities to push people deeper into the shadows,\u201d Awawdeh said.<\/p>\n<p>Nationwide, immigrants now make up 15.4% of the U.S. population, down from a historic high of 15.8% just six months ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time in about 60 years, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. has declined.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":165507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,7448,21400,405,403,50,5226,5225,5228,5227,52,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5284],"class_list":{"0":"post-165506","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-app-top-stories","10":"tag-louis-finley","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-top-stories","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa","25":"tag-vod"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115070411965712990","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
