"These articles reinforce Trump views - that Illegal immigrants are taking jobs from real Americans."

From the article:

President-elect Trump's vow to deport millions of undocumented immigrants could eliminate workers from U.S. industries already projected to face shortages and cut up to 6.8% of the national gross domestic profit.

Most U.S. voters (75%) said undocumented immigrants mostly fill jobs that American citizens don't want, according to an October Pew Research report.

Industries like hospitality, service, health care, construction and agriculture would face labor shortages without immigrant labor, according to the Center for Migration Studies.


How does that reinforce the view that illegal immigrants are taking jobs from real Americans? It does the exact opposite - it points out that immigrants are doing jobs Americans don't want and deportation would cause further labor shortages in industries that already have trouble filling jobs.
