U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is meant to offset the loss of immigrant labor. REUTERS “As Kelly [Loeffler] and I go out and talk to employers and workers around the country, they all want more overtime,” he told The Post. “And there was this narrative that I think over 2 million illegal aliens have either voluntarily deported or been deported, and that there would be a worker shortage.
