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. more
I moved to Florida in March, the development I moved into was about 75% finished. Since the beginning of May all work has stopped. I have zero sympathy for the contractor. The only people who benefit from illegals are a select few business owners. they get cheap labor and we get the bill for education, medical and social services.
One thing most people are not thinking about is with AI coming along as fast as it is is going to put millions of Americans out of a job. These will not be low tier jobs. There will be no need for teachers, engineers, computer programmers and eventually Doctors and lawyers. These people will have to compete with illegals for jobs. The future is going to be fun.
They may not be conversant in English, but they can read the writing on the wall!
This is an anemic number, sad to say. It’s just disappointing on the heels of what seems like similar reaction to DOGE’s findings on fraud (and still no action to jail the fraudsters).
On top of everything, I just read this headline at GP:
“Homeland Security Announces New Self-Deport Plan for Illegal Aliens – All Applicants Will Receive $1,000, Forgiveness of Fines, Cost-Free Travel and Preserve the Opportunity to Return”
At the bottom of the article, Jim Hoft writes: “This may be an appealing choice for illegal aliens who are witnessing ICE raids on violent criminals.”
What happened to all the bluster from Bondi, Patel, Bongino, Homan, Noem and the rest of them about “If you’re here illegally, we will find you and you will be deported!”
If they recruited five people off this very blog to lead the deportation effort, they’d get it done. In Los Angeles, for example, all they need to do is a pincer movement at the rear of the protesters and start checking IDs. Have waiting buses and zip tie handcuffs, and off they go to whatever temporary processing center they’ve established. Hell’s bells! Just do what Biden did at the border when these people came pouring in! In reverse!
How many more of us have to be crime victims of illegal aliens?
…is anyone else sick to death of hearing/reading the words: Threatened, suggested, thinking about, considering, blah, blah, blah?
This administration either puts up or shuts up, because if they don’t amp up their efforts it will only embolden everyone who is here illegally. The Democrats are screaming “Due process!” but no one on the Right has fought back on this insane mantra. Those who were ushered into our country illegally were supposed to have initiated their own “due process” by reporting to authorities at some point, but they just vanished.
Abigail Adams, please keep in mind that this problem has been building for 100 years. Won’t be solved in the short term. This is a good start. And as soon as various courts get their progressive decisions overturned, the numbers will pick up. That is why I believe.
@Elam Blacktree — I understand your POV, but at the same time my immediate neighbor just got his car stolen the other night. Not saying it was illegals, but the odds are they were, because those seem to be the only people who our local police nab for car thefts — when they are caught.
It’s a raw betrayal to every single person in this country who wore or wears a military or law enforcement uniform, to see illegal aliens calling for violence, waiving their home countries’ flags and burning ours. And when they shout “our people!” they don’t mean Americans.
If not now, when?! How much more of my city has to burn and be destroyed before they’re satisfied?
“Foreign Born” doesn’t necessarily mean “illegal alien”, although I don’t know why we would be importing ANY foreigners to work here. It’s way past time to stop ALL immigration, legal and illegal.
I voted for this!
