In Santa Ana, CA, Hector's Mariscos restaurant exemplifies the local economic struggle as increased immigrant arrests have led to a significant drop in business. Manager Lorena Marin notes that many patrons are staying home due to fears surrounding immigration enforcement. The impact of these actions is being felt not just by undocumented immigrants but also by legal residents and U.S. citizens. Andrew Selee from the Migration Policy Institute highlights the alarming trend of enforcement targeting integrated workers, indicating the deep reliance of California's economy on immigrant labor in agriculture, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
Sales at Hector's Mariscos restaurant have dropped significantly as increased immigrant arrests in California impact the local economy and lives of immigrant families.
The situation mirrors 2004's movie 'A Day Without a Mexican,' as the growing enforcement actions threaten to disrupt California's workforce heavily reliant on immigrants.
