President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal aliens is having a positive effect on the American workforce, especially in the labor sector.
The ranks of those jobs are full of illegals, which arguably takes away opportunities from U.S. workers.
The issue has become one of the leading arguments as to why America should crack down on illegal immigration.
According to Breitbart, Trump’s aggressive and systematic approach to quashing the hordes of illegals rushing into America is paying off for the U.S. labor workforce.
The approach is a major U-turn on the policies under former President Joe Biden.
New reports indicated that the number of foreign-born workers within the United States has plummeted by nearly 1 million since Trump took office earlier this year.
The move is a massive victory for Americans seeking opportunities that they might not have had the chance to pursue under Biden or other open-border Democrats.
The new data, released by Trump’s Labor Department, is a massive win for the administration as it continues to push forward with bold immigration and border policies.
Breitbart reported:
“The foreign-born population dropped by 1.9 million people between January and August, from 50.4 million to 48.5 million, while employment among foreign-born workers fell by 1 million over the same period, government data show.
“The decline represents a stark turnaround from 2024, when the foreign-born workforce expanded by more than 2 million people.”
The outlet noted that Trump’s border “policy changes are reshaping the composition of the American workforce in ways that could have lasting economic implications.”
In 2024, foreign-born workers were the driving force behind labor force growth.
Breitbart noted:
“The timing of the workforce shift aligns closely with Trump’s inauguration and the implementation of stricter immigration policies.
“Since taking office, the administration has increased deportations, expanded workplace enforcement, and tightened rules for asylum seekers and temporary workers.”
Since the beginning, the Trump administration has insisted that cracking down on illegal immigration will have measurable effects on the U.S. labor workforce.
The report also indicated that average hourly earnings have increased, giving consumers more purchasing power, as the increase was more than the price increase of goods.
Breitbart added:
“Meanwhile, average hourly earnings have risen from $35.87 in January to $36.53 in August, a gain of 1.8 percent over seven months that annualizes to roughly 3.1 percent wage growth.”
Clearly, the Trump administration is working overtime to undo some of the damage done to the country and the economy by Biden’s open borders.
Hopefully, this trend will continue giving American workers more opportunities than ever before.
