Donald Trump is keeping his promises to the American people.
The United States is experiencing “negative net-migration.”
According to the Census Bureau, “In just one year, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. under the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.”
The United States is experiencing negative net migration, according to figures released by the Census Bureau on Wednesday, to the approval of the Trump administration.
The Department of Homeland Security jumped on the news, saying in a statement that its mass deportation efforts had helped achieve that apparent administration goal.
“In just one year, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. under the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration,” the agency said in a statement.
The Census Bureau reported that population growth slowed significantly over the past fiscal year, increasing by 0.5% or 1.8 million people between July 2024 and July 2025.
That figure accounted for the slowest population growth since the coronavirus pandemic, when the U.S. saw a 0.2% increase in population.
Net international migration peaked in 2024.
It is projected to keep declining.
Net international migration peaked at 2.7 million in 2024, and if the current trend continues, it is projected to decline to 321,000 in 2026.
Net international migration is determined by subtracting the number of immigrants who are born outside of the United States and who leave the country from the number of those who arrive during a given time period.
With net immigration growth at 1.3 million, the growth of the native U.S. population was 519,000, which is about the same as the prior year. The Census Bureau defines native-born as anyone who was born inside the United States and its territories or who was born abroad to one or more parents who are U.S. citizens.
The growth of the native U.S. population is higher than that reported during the pandemic but is lower than 1.1 million in 2017 and yearly totals of between 1.6 million and 1.9 million from 2000 through 2010.
The Trump effect!
