Foreign-Born Population In The U.S. Has Dropped An Astounding 1 Million In Only 6 Months....A Major Reason For Trump's Horrible Job Numbers

[Concerned American]

Trump and MAGAs love being tough on brown people, but it comes with a steep price. The simple fact is that Trump is hurting the economy with his brutal war on illegal immigrants.

From the article below. --

The president’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including workplace raids like the one at a Hyundai plant in Georgia on Friday, is driving down the availability of foreign-born workers, which also weighs on hiring. Over the first six months of the year, the nation’s foreign-born population fell by more than 1 million, according to the Pew Research Center.

Trump’s tougher immigration policy, coupled with the effects of societal aging, are reducing potential monthly job growth by more than 100,000 hires, according to Barclays.

Tough on brown people? Your article claims Koreans--its a stretch. Reality? All people are some shade of brown. Go cry yourself to sleep.

Washington Post opinion piece

How crazy

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Disparaging the woke twits who make the military weak? You bet your ass we do, **** waffle.

Let me break it down for you, dirt stupid MAGA gimp. --

We have a massive brain drain in this country. The best and brightest students and scientists in the world used to come to our universities and study here. They would then work in this country for years on visas. Those days are now over.

Who is going to replace these brilliant, highly skilled foreigners? Your MAGA racist uneducated ass, simp???

Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country since the Civil War. That is not an exaggeration.

 

[Meathead]

Who is going to replace these brilliant, highly skilled foreigners?

Apparently, Tren de Agua and MS-13 thugs like Kilmar Abrego if you get your way..

Yep you demklan types said the same thing about Lincoln

You won’t have illegals to exploit for cheap labor anymore

 

[Unkotare]

Probably because illegals are producing a gazillion children as soon as they arrive.

Wrong.

 

[ColonelAngus]

How many of those are citizens?

 

[kyzr]

Fewer illegal aliens mean rents and housing costs should be falling soon.

Grocery prices, gas prices, beer prices, etc., less demand means lower prices.

 

[Dagoth-Ur]

For MAGA racists, certainly.

Muh Racism!

So why not instead of educating everyone else’s children we educate our own children and hire them for good paying jobs?

No problem... that's one million fewer mouths to feed and dozens of thousands of vacant jobs to be filled by Americans.

Actually Homan said 1.5m illegals left so far, a good start.

 

[Unkotare]

So why not instead of educating everyone else’s children .....

We educate all children of school age. The Supreme Court is pretty clear on this one.

 

[whitehall]

What does "foreign born" mean? Does it include the estimated two million alien criminals who are illegally in the U.S.?

...Actually Homan said 1.5m illegals left so far, a good start...

A good START indeed...

Long term projection are often suspect, but there are indications fewer immigrants means fewer workers and less growth:

September 5, 2025

Fewer Immigrants Means Fewer Workers, Less Growth​

Dean Baker

"One of the releases from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that gets relatively little attention is its annual projections for growth in employment by industry and occupation over the next decade.

"BLS’s latest numbers are worth at least a few minutes of thought.

"BLS projects that the economy will add 5.2 million jobs between 2024 and 2034, an average of 520,000 a year or 43,000 a month.

"That compares to job growth of 19.2 million in the decade from 2014 to 2024."

And less crime and less government spending.

Generally means not a US citizen, unless naturalized. Yes, the 2m alien criminals are "foreign born".

 

[Unkotare]

I place the blame where it should be.
...

No you don't, because the "blame" is more complicated than what fits on a bumper sticker.

 

[georgephillip]

And less crime and less government spending.

Immigrants fuel labor force growth, entrepreneurship, and innovation along with increasing consumer spending and tax revenues.

Crime and Trump are synonyms
