Wages are on the rise thanks to the nearly 1 million illegal migrants who have taken advantage of the Trump administration’s self-deportation program, according to the nonpartisan research organization Center for Immigration Studies.
CIS put the number of illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. under the Biden administration at a conservative 15.4 million. While the Trump administration has followed through on its promise of mass deportations, the self-deportation program implemented by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in February is “cheaper for taxpayers and arguably much more effective,” wrote CIS fellow in law and policy Andrew Arthur.
“DHS can’t arrest and deport 15.4 million illegal aliens, but if it simply enforces the law, many aliens will get the message and leave on their own — as hundreds of thousands apparently already have,” Arthur wrote.
Arthur cited two reports in ascertaining the number of self-deportations.
First, The Wall Street Journal calculated that the immigration population has fallen by 773,000 since the outset of President Donald Trump’s second term. The Washington Post reported its analysis showed that “more than a million foreign-born workers have exited the workforce since March.”
The Post also reported that average hourly wages accelerated by 0.4% in May, leading Arthur to contend that “with fewer illegal immigrants, businesses have had to raise wages to attract workers.”
Anti-Trump beside themselves.
Wait. What?
Chamber of Commerce!
Democrats Judge stands in way!
😂
Love ya Mr. Trump.
Keep on, keeping on.
Best President Ever.👍🇺🇸
President Trump Winning for the Average American People, as Promised!
My sister worked as a banker in an area with large Hispanic population due to meat packing industry including some illegals - long before Biden/Harris opened the floodgates. When the companies had layoffs she said a number would come into the bank and close their accounts, saying they were going back to Mexico where they could live without an income. Same thing would work today if we’d just stop giving out free stuff.
When all the illegals leave, I suppose the wealthy will have to pay their servants. True market forces return to the labor market.
Of course commies are outraged..the more jobs go to illegals the more they want to vote Dem..the meat packing plant in Nebraska that got raided last week, 100 illegals got arrested by ICE..today I read how the room is overflowing with applicants for those jobs, AMERICANS, NOT illegals
the foreign-flag-waving rioters will not leave on their own accord
Body bags for every last one of them. Well, that would be the case back in the frontier justice days.
Let’s try for 30 million.
Pronto.
Start arresting the people employing the illegals (or at least giving them a sizable fine)
I live in Marietta, GA and it has basically become Little Mexico.
I own a house in the neighborhood where I was raised and it’s easily 75% Latino.
Most driveways are so full they have to park on the street.
It looks like a bunch of used car lots.
I completely agree.
I want them to rot in prison.
If your illegal, better to sell all your stash (cars,homes, valuables) and collect $1000. and a free ride out than to be caught at a traffic stop or hanging around a construction site and be IMMEDIATELY deported.
I was hoping it was Democrats that had self-deported.
Another benefit of the deportations is the reduction in inflation. Money for nothing is the biggest cause of inflation. It is a win, win, win.
I can see these socialist democrat judges, in airport terminals screaming at the illegals who are self-deporting, “Don’t Go! I Can Protect You!”
