It's worth remembering that Trump hasn't really done anything to actually get unauthorized immigrants out of the labor force. If your argument is that immigrants are stealing jobs / wages, then you should be incredibly frustrated!

I am quoted today on NPR's Morning edition. Oddly, she summarized my legal analysis herself and then quoted me on the non-law part, but I guess the main points got made, which is most important. npr.org/2025/07/16/nx-…

This op-ed summarizes an important new study suggesting that the rise of community colleges and for-profit institutions over the past decades has actually hurt the earnings potential of low-income students by moving them away from 4-year universities.  wapo.st/46PGLSK

The latest jobs report reveals a struggling labor market. All signs point to tariffs. 1) July growth came in lower than forecasted. Plus, enormous downward revisions to the May and June numbers (90 pct in total).

Tariffs don’t affect the labor market directly. Rather, low hiring is a product of high uncertainty. We’d be better off if Trump had just picked 15 percent and stuck with it than whatever pandemonium is going on now.

2) We're seeing negative job growth in sectors like manufacturing and mining that are relatively more affected by tariffs. Positive growth is basically confined to health care, which isn't "tradable" --- you can't import a visit to the doctor.
