I KEEP GETTING WHAT I VOTED FOR.
In the midst of the positive jobs reports from the last few months, there's one number more important than them all:
Are Americans being hired at lower rates than "migrants"?
Consider the fact that nearly ALL new jobs went to foreigners in 2023 and 2024:
Fast forward to today:
In perhaps the strongest sign yet that President Donald Trump's efforts to deport illegal immigrants, encourage self-deportation, and clear the workforce of foreign competition is working, the St. Louis Fed reported that more than one million foreign-born workers left the workforce since March.
In March of this year, the foreign-born labor force amounted to 33.719 million people, according to the St. Louis Fed. By May, however, that figure had fallen to 32.706 million, reflecting a drop of 1.013 million foreign-born workers.
The fact that immigrants - legal and illegal - were outstripping the American-born workforce was a major problem.
By contrast, the overall civilian labor force went from 170.653 million in March to 170.216 million in May, for a drop of 0.437 million. The noticeable disparity in exits by place-of-birth appears to reflect more than simple exits from retirement or other conventional factors.
Translation: These aren't retirements. Self-deportations are happening.
One million down, millions to go!
