  • Kentucky's immigrant workers and business owners generate $14 billion of economic input, according to new data from the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy. President Donald Trump recently issued a slew of executive orders to expand and speed up deportations nationwide.

The article from MSN discusses how immigrant workers and business owners are significantly contributing to Kentucky's economy. It highlights that immigrants are filling critical labor gaps in various sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare, where there are shortages of local workers. The piece notes that these immigrants not only take up jobs that are often hard to fill but also start their own businesses, thereby creating jobs and stimulating economic growth. For instance, in Louisville, immigrant entrepreneurs have revitalized neighborhoods by opening new businesses. Additionally, the article mentions that Kentucky's welcoming policies towards immigrants have helped in attracting and retaining this workforce, which in turn supports the state's economic development. The contributions of immigrants are seen as vital for sustaining and expanding Kentucky's economic landscape.
