US President Donald Trump plans to tighten immigration control in 2026. Under the plan, workplace checks will increase and immigration services will receive an additional $170 billion. The measure worries some people ahead of the midterm elections.
The Trump administration has already placed agents in major cities and checked neighborhoods. This year some businesses were inspected, but farms and factories were largely left alone. Under the new plan, more people will be checked at workplaces and in jails.
The measure worries part of the population. In some cities, like Miami, this was reflected in elections. Some businesses closed to avoid inspections, and parents kept their children home. According to data, 41% of those arrested had only broken immigration rules.
Next year’s workplace checks could affect the workforce and the economy. Experts say this could increase labor costs and raise prices. The administration plans to require employers to follow the law.
