Immigration Crackdowns Threaten Rural America's Growth
Original: ‘They Age and Shrink and Die’ — Immigration Crackdowns Threaten Growth in Rural America
Reports warn that tougher immigration enforcement is hitting rural American communities, which depend heavily on immigrant workers to sustain their populations and local economies. The phrase 'they age and shrink and die' captures fears that without new arrivals, small towns will decline as older residents die and young people leave, threatening farms, businesses and schools.
Why now: Ongoing national debate over immigration enforcement has focused attention on its economic impact on rural communities.
