President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown is providing relief to the American people after years of open borders.
So much so, that even CNN has conceded that Trump is “remaking the country.”
It comes as net immigration has gone down for the first time in decades.
That means more jobs for Americans, more housing supply, and less chaos in communities everywhere.
During a discussion on CNN’s Newsroom, chief data analyst Harry Enten credited Trump with being the “most influential president” since FDR.
He cited Trump’s tariff rates, the highest since the 1930s, and low immigration numbers.
While Trump’s protectionist agenda looks to reverse decades of offshoring that hurt the working-class, he is simultaneously closing off America’s borders to cheap, foreign labor.
His policies are generally making life difficult for illegal aliens who are already living here.
As Enten noted, net immigration is down for the first time “in at least 50 years.”
“It is not the only way that Trump is remaking America,” Enten said, referring to tariffs.
“The other big thing that Trump ran on, right, was immigration.
“How about net migration in the United States?
“Get this: It’s down,” Enten said.
“It’s going to be down at least 60%.
“We may be dealing with, get this, negative net migration to the United States in 2025.
“That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years.”
The projected decline in immigration is a stark reversal from Biden-era trends, which saw the foreign-born share of the population reach an all-time high as the border was opened up.
“We’re talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024,” Enten added.
“So Donald Trump has always run on tariffs and he’s running a hawkish line on immigration.”
“And on both of those issues, we are seeing record high tariff rates for this century going all the way back, well back into the early part of the 20th century.
“When it comes to immigration, net migration, we are seeing record low levels, way down from where we were during the Biden administration.”
Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy has sent illegal border crossings plummeting.
The numbers hit another record low of 4,598 in July.
Under Trump, Americans are getting hired.
Trump was slammed over last week’s July jobs report, which showed cooling in the labor market.
However, there was a silver lining: 383,000 new jobs went to Americans, while the number of foreign workers decreased by 400,000.
Trump’s policy is also saving lives south of the border.
According to reports, crossings through the perilous Darien Gap have all but stopped after they were soaring under Biden.
If there is one issue that voters associate with Trump, it is illegal immigration.
And Trump is giving Americans what they asked for when they elected him by stopping and actually reversing the invasion of our sovereign borders.
