A study by the National Foundation for American Policy projects that current immigration policies could reduce the U.S. workforce by 6.8 million people by 2028 and 15.7 million by 2035. The research indicates that approximately one-third of the projected workforce reduction by 2035 would result from changes to legal immigration policies, while the remainder would stem from measures addressing unauthorized immigration. These demographic shifts could potentially affect multiple economic sectors as the population ages.
