Saturday Morning Covfefe: 5 Things With Olivia

Olivia of Troye

Whether you’re sipping an iced cafecito on the porch or enjoying a horchata latte (my newest obsession) after the week we’ve just had, I’ve boiled down five headlines the algorithms buried, added a bonus shot of espresso and one story to remind you the world still has a heart. Ready? Refill that mug and let’s hit it.

1. The Deportation Economy: The Dallas Fed drops a warning.

You know what doesn’t boost the economy? Mass deportations. According to the Dallas Fed, slashing unauthorized immigration, like what’s happening under Trump 2.0, is already dragging down our GDP. Growth is nearly a full percentage point lower this year than it would’ve been if immigration stayed on track. And inflation? Barely touched.

Translation: all the cruelty, none of the economic gain. One of the reports highlighted estimated a mass deportation scenario in which 1.3 million unauthorized immigrant workers are removed from the U.S. would lower the U.S. GDP 2.7% from 2025 to 2028.

👉 Immigration = labor force = growth.👉 Fear-based policy = bad economics.

Put simply: when you build your immigration strategy on rage, don’t be shocked when the economy tanks.
