Texas mayor voices concerns over mass deportations
==========
Javier Villalobos, mayor of McAllen, Texas, expressed concerns about the economic impact of President-elect Donald Trump's mass deportation policy, stating it could harm the economy. He highlighted that nearly half of the U.S. agricultural workforce is undocumented immigrants, which could lead to a $30 billion to $60 billion drop in agricultural output if deportations occur. Villalobos emphasized the productivity of immigrants and the importance of their contributions to the economy. Trump plans to implement his immigration agenda, including mass deportations and a 25% tariff on Mexican goods, within 21 days of taking office.
