“People like [Alejandro] Flores-Muñoz — and other immigrants, legally present or not — are an important entrepreneurial force in the United States. They start businesses at a higher rate than native-born Americans, creating jobs and enriching communities in the process. Now they’re getting swept up in Trump’s mass deportation efforts. As entrepreneurial immigrants are detained and deported, it won’t just be newcomers and their families who suffer. The American workers, customers, and communities they support will suffer too.” (for publication 01/26)
