We talked to some of the managers, people are being laid off, their hours are being cut, they are moving in with family members to save money. I assumed that people self-deporting would be a factor since a couple of months ago Trump targeted Venezuelans who had asylum claims, but seems like this new situation is due to a bad job market and bad business outlooks.

Americans are taking their jorbs back! It’s working’!
