Companies warn SEC that mass portations pose serious business risk


Other files have suggested that a recession may come even earlier. Community Bank Hanmi Bank, under its holding company Hanmi Financial Corp., said in a SEC filing that “the combination of rates, rising inflation, deportations, global political turmoil and tension and the reduced credit availability” could cause a mild recession in 2025. “

Some companies have said that deportations can attract labor shortages. Century Communities, a home -building business, said in his 2024 annual report that if it could not rent enough competent artisans and contractors, it could have a significant adverse effect on our service standards. “

“Labor deficiencies can be caused by, among other things, the slowdown of immigration and/or increased deportations, as a significant part of the construction labor force consists of immigrants,” the filing states.

A few companies mentioned deportations, but said they were not sure how the oppression would affect their business. The Banks Bridgewater Bancshares control companies, Heartland Bank and Trust Company, and Heritage Bank, for example, mention mass portations in a list of factors that may affect their ‘forward -looking statements’, which predicts how well the banks can perform in the coming months. However, the companies no longer said to say whether deportations would harm or help their businesses.

Other companies have said deportations pose some risk to the economy, but have noted that they do not expect it to cause widespread damage or injure their business.

In a filing of Forum Investment Group’s real estate income fund, the firm said that “stricter immigration control and portations” could have mixed outcomes. The filing claims that this policy can increase inflation, but possibly a “blessing for American workers (higher wages)” or “overheated housing markets cooled.”

Some companies have argued that their businesses may be at risk if their customers are affected by deportations. Pacific Airport Group, which works through airports in Mexico and Jamaica, said policies such as mass portations and restrictions on international travel will affect the airport traffic, and thus the company’s most important point.

“These measures can create uncertain economic conditions in Mexico, affecting relaxation, visiting friends and family members, and business trip, to and from the country,” the filing states.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Communications and Financial Services Company IDT Corporation said that mass portions could “negatively” affect its business clients, such as the money for transfer service, and the money transfer and the international call ministry Boss Revolution. Anything that disrupts people’s ability to work outside their country of origin claims that IDT can harm customers and therefore its business.

The Discount Store Chain Pricesmart, which works in Central America, said that mass portations could have a devastating effect on an entire region. If there is a major reduction in foreign workers who send money to their families in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, the economies of the nations will suffer, and so prices will be stores, the filing said. Money from foreign workers, warns the company, is “an important source of income and alleviation of poverty for millions of families.”
