Just the first 100 days since returning to the White House in January 2025, President Donald Trump took 181 executive actions on immigration.
So far, the results are paying off for American taxpayers.
While those actions aimed to curtail the arrival of new immigrants, they also focused on deporting noncitizen immigrants.
Today the effects of these policies are contributing to a declining immigrant population – especially the unauthorized immigrant population.
In January 2025, 53.3 million immigrants lived in the United States – the largest number ever recorded. In the ensuing months, however, more immigrants left the country or were deported than arrived.
By June, the country’s foreign-born population had shrunk by more than a million people. This marked its first decline since the 1960s.
By June 2025, a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data revealed:
- 51.9 million immigrants lived in the U.S.
- 15.4% of all U.S. residents were immigrants, down from a recent historic high of 15.8%.
- 19% of the U.S. labor force were immigrants, down from 20% and by over 750,000 workers since January.
As we begin 2026, new figures show the existing challenges America faces regarding the country of origin of households receiving American taxpayer handouts:
• Somalia 71.9%
•Afghanistan 68.1%
•Mexico 54% They are 23% of immigrants)
• Israel 25.9%
•Haiti 52.3%
• Cuba 49.6%

If Pew Research Center were being transparent about this, rather than breaking it down into these “three waves” (1840-1889, 1890-1919, and 1965-2025). they might have broken it down by year.
However, that would expose the failings of their buddy Joe Biden.
