President Donald Trump’s decisive actions on illegal immigration are delivering undeniable results. American-born workers surged by 830,000 in June, achieving a record high in employment that surpasses pre-pandemic levels. This is not just a statistic; it represents the strength and resilience of American labor.
As a result of Trump’s policies, the labor force participation rate rose from 61.4% to an impressive 61.8%. This increase highlights the revitalization of our economy and the reassertion of American workers on the job market.
In stark contrast, foreign-born employment has taken a significant hit. The Department of Labor reported a decline of 348,000 foreign-born workers in June alone. This marks the third consecutive month of decreasing foreign-born worker numbers—a clear indication that Trump’s crackdown is working.
Since the beginning of this year, foreign-born employment has plummeted by over half a million jobs, while American-born employment has skyrocketed by more than two million. These numbers reveal a powerful trend: American workers are reclaiming their rightful place in the workforce, and it’s time we celebrate this victory for our nation.
