Of course you don't, but, in addition to policy, the climate he has created around immigration and foreigners has had an impact on more than just workers. Just one example: my (former) summer school program lost two separate international programs--South America and China--because both are worried about the relations between countries. Those were half of the program, which led to, get this, American kids being laid off from their camp staff positions.

There are also real questions about the decline in tourism, the H1-B visa for educated/tech workers, and the late spring addition of H1-B visas too late for many businesses.

A few years ago, the Half Moon pizza shop at the Weirs was run entirely by Russian students--is that the case? (It didn't make their pizza any better or their prices less criminal, by the way).
