Economic growth depends on the number of workers multiplied by the productivity of workers; if you have fewer workers due to immigration crackdowns or increased uncertainty, you must achieve significantly higher productivity growth to maintain strong GDP growth, otherwise weak growth will result.

“economic growth is number of workers plus productivity of workers. And um if you're going to end up in an environment with fewer workers either because you've cracked down on immigration or because you've increased the uncertainty on entrepreneurs then you have to hope that the productivity really really goes up if you're going to have strong GDP growth [4:42]”
