With a big push from the federal government to drive down both legal and illegal immigration, economic officials worry how a reduction in new arrivals to the U.S. will affect the availability of workers amid a national workforce shortage. Population growth in Maine has been stagnant, so new immigrants could provide more depth to the workforce. Any reduction could be felt by businesses that have a significant immigrant workforce, as well as by organizations relying on foreign-born customers, such as tourist destinations or universities with a high number of full-tuition-paying international students.
