🚨 JUST IN: Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants have ‘self-deported’ under Trump – NY Post
While ICE arrests and deportations have grabbed headlines, President Trump is also running a separate but complementary “mass deportation” program — one that encourages aliens here unlawfully to go home voluntarily.
One way to track the program is by checking employment numbers. One financial expert cited by the Wall Street Journal calculated a decline in the immigrant population of 773,000 in the first four months of Trump’s presidency.
The Washington Post claims “a million foreign-born workers have exited the workforce since March.” The Post frames this as “a sign of the weakening labor supply.” Yet the paper also notes, “Average hourly wages accelerated, rising by 0.4 percent over the month, to $36.24 in May, as earnings continue to beat inflation in a boost to workers’ spending power.”
This voluntary exodus shouldn’t be surprising. When President Dwight Eisenhower launched his deportation roundup in 1954, nearly 10 aliens left voluntarily for each one arrested, the NY Post reported.
