California faces potential $100B economic loss if Trump's deportation plans proceed, impacting key industries.

California could suffer hundreds of billions in economic damage if Trump's deportation plans proceed, affecting industries like agriculture, construction, and childcare. The state relies on over 10 million immigrants, who make up 27% of its population, with about one-fifth being undocumented. Losing these workers could erase 10% of the state's production. The threat alone could cause economic harm as workers avoid jobs out of fear. Replacing deported workers would be costly, and visa programs for tech and agriculture sectors could also be targeted.
