On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price visited with attorney Lee Kaplan.
- Voluntary Economic Slowdown: Texas is experiencing a self-inflicted economic deceleration due to harsh measures targeting immigrants, who constitute a critical source of labor.
- Immigration System Criticisms: The immigration legal framework makes it nearly impossible to obtain legal status like green cards, while the lack of adequate funding for immigration judges and authorities has exacerbated the issue.
- Contributions of Immigrants: Immigrants contribute significantly across various sectors as scientists, business owners, programmers, painters, and service workers. Restrictive policies risk driving skilled, highly educated individuals away from Texas and the US.
- Policy and Economic Concerns: Political extreme responses hinder rational solutions. While there are legitimate concerns around data centers and resource allocation (such as water consumption during droughts), outright rejection of economic opportunities harms long-term growth.
- Call for a Balanced Approach: A functional immigration system requires appointing more immigration judges, fostering a welcoming entrepreneurial environment, and recognizing diversity as an economic strength.
