In California, which is about to become the first state sanctuary of the American union, the fear of mass deportations could affect agricultural industries that use the immigrant labor force.

The turmoil that the Trump administration has implemented would be driving away thousands of rural workers, a hard blow to a state whose agrarian industry relies heavily on immigration: two-thirds of California's rural workers are undocumented immigrants, according to the article.

The effects of Trump's anti-immigrant speech - whose campaign promised to expel the nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants and whose executive orders in principle aim at deporting between three and four million people, it’s affecting sectors of the US economy such as agriculture, technology and tourism, recently resentful of the ill-fated migrant vetoes of citizens of Muslim countries.
