Pro-Migration Groups Complain About Empty Streets Due to ICE Enforcement



by Neil Munro 30 Jun 2025

Pro-migration media outlets and Twitter accounts are declaring their alarm at California’s empty stores and quiet streets amid President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts.

But the reports and videos exaggerate the benefits of illegal migration on the consumer economy, even as they also display how the government inflated Americans’ economy by importing millions of illegal migrants from developing nations into sanctuary cities.

“If there’s a street of bodegas or stores that often cater to illegal immigrants, and then the illegal immigrants are gone… that’s not in any way indicative of any kind of impact on the larger economy,” said Steve Camarota, the research director at the Center for Immigration Studies. “You have to get to $300 billion [in business activity] to equal 1 percent” of the $30 trillion economy, he added.

“Lupe Lopez’s Latino market in Newark, California, has been a shopping and social hub for decades — until recently,” said an alarmed four-author article at the Washington Post:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Yep, if the streets are empty due to fears of ICE then that means the entire neighborhood is here illegally.
