Economic Policy Institute tracks financial costs of immigration enforcement in Arizona

The Economic Policy Institute released a calculator to track the financial costs associated with immigration enforcement. Panelists discussed findings from Brookings, which reported a larger drop in employment in cities most targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The discussion also touched on the economic impacts of immigration enforcement in Arizona.

The research suggests that the financial effects of immigration enforcement extend beyond those directly targeted. The costs of deportation are tracked, and the reports indicate that enforcement affects workers and businesses throughout Arizona.
