Immigration's Economic Impact Faces Legal and Logistical Challenges The U.S. economic recovery post-pandemic has been surprisingly robust, with immigration playing a significant role. Visa processing resumption in 2021 and 2022 has boosted employment, addressing labor force gaps and long-term workforce replenishment needs. However, this potential economic benefit faces political tensions, administrative backlogs, and logistical hurdles. The surge in arrivals due to international instability and crises has exacerbated these challenges. While efforts are being made to integrate immigrants into the workforce, the process is hindered by delays and uncertainties, impacting both newcomers and those already in the country. The need for a balanced approach to address these issues is crucial for the economy and the well-being of immigrants.
