President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to mass deport illegal aliens will force up United States wages as employers are unable to rely on cheaper foreign workers, a new report suggests.

A report from CalMatters, a California-based nonprofit news organization, admits that employers will have to pay more for labor as a result of mass deportations because foreign workers are cheaper to hire than their American counterparts.

CalMatters reports:

Mass deportations promised by President-elect Donald Trump could have a seismic economic effect in California — potentially inflicting billions of dollars in direct damages to a wide range of industries, including small business, agriculture, construction and child care, advocates and academics said.
