Good news to report.
I have been skeptical of the Trump administration’s claim that 1.6 million illegal aliens have self deported in 2025 which is based on a CIS analysis, but it appears that deportations have accelerated over the summer and that self deportation is actually happening to some degree.
“The White House crackdown appears to have driven 1.5 million immigrants out of the country, according to a new tally from Pew Research.
Why it matters: It’s the first time the immigrant population has fallen in decades, a clear win for the Trump administration. It could slow the economy.
Labor shortages in important industries like caregiving, agriculture and meatpacking, already showing up anecdotally, could become a more systemic problem.
By the numbers: In January, the foreign-born population hit an all-time high of 53.3 million, driven by a surge during the Biden administration. Since then, data from the Census Current Population Survey, analyzed by Pew, shows a decline. …”
The Pew Research Center has arrived at a similar number … 1.5 million.
“For the first time in decades, more immigrants are leaving the United States than arriving, a new study finds, an early indication that President Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda is leading people to depart — whether through deportation or by choice.
An analysis of new census data released on Thursday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found that between January and June, the foreign-born population in the United States — both lawful and unlawful residents — declined by nearly 1.5 million. In June, the country was home to 51.9 million immigrants, down from 53.3 million six months earlier.
Officials from the Trump administration have applauded the net outflow, asserting that pressures on government services have eased and that job markets have rebounded. And some supporters of the immigration crackdown say it hasn’t gone far enough. …”
Deportations have cranked up in July and August.
“President Trump’s campaign promise of mass deportations may be coming closer to reality. Until June, deportations had lagged behind immigration arrests and detentions. By the first week of August, deportations reached nearly 1,500 people per day, according to the latest data, a pace not seen since the Obama administration.
With an infusion of cash from Mr. Trump’s domestic policy bill signed in July — an extra $76 billion that Immigration and Customs Enforcement can spend over a little more than four years — the agency appears poised to scale its operations even further.
At least 180,000 people have been deported by ICE under Mr. Trump so far. At the current higher pace, the agency is on track to deport more than 400,000 people in his first year in office, well more than the 271,000 people ICE removed in the year ending last September but still short of the administration’s stated goal of one million deportations a year. …
Mr. Trump may be catching up to President Barack Obama, whom immigrant advocates called the “deporter in chief,” but the nature of his immigration enforcement has been very different. The hundreds of thousands of people removed under Mr. Obama were mostly recent border-crossers, and ICE focused its arrests in the interior of the country on criminals. …”
Activists have been spreading disinformation that Trump deportations lag behind the Obama era. The New York Times article correctly notes that those “deportations” were returns at the border when illegal immigration was high. Illegal immigration at the border has been quelled since February and Trump’s deportations have been removals from the interior mostly of dangerous criminals.
Normies actually believe that no one is crossing the border Northward. Normies believe what they are told by Zog. Zog says the border is secure and no one is crossing, so in the mind of the Normies that is how it is.
Trump 1.0 opened the border wide open, by XO. All they had to do was present themselves to the border patrol and they would be processed, given a court date years in the future. And allowed in. This process continued for 4 years under ‘Biden’.
To Trump’s credit he rescinded that XO in February and ended that farce. So no one is now presenting himself to the border patrol expecting to get in. That is what Zog means when it says no one is crossing.
It has returned to the old way. They have to sneak across and that is what they are doing. Some are leaving but they mostly come back across. The vast majority of the border remains wide open. They are crossing all night every night.
Quite a few are leaving, because they have felony warrants. They are afraid of ICE.
As for deportation numbers. Trump is expelling almost half as many as Obama did each month. Not very impressive
There are still too many Ukranians here to suit me.
NO room for commie.
It’s still a drop in the bucket. If Cheetohead were serious (and most of us know very well that he’s not), the government would focus its enforcement resources on those who have enabled and profited (and continue to do so) the invasion. That means charging scum like Miriam Adelson, Donnie King and numerous other fatcats with treason (aiding and abetting an invasion), along with the numerous NGO facilitators like the US Council of Catholic Bishops, Hebrew immigrant Aid Society, et al. Charges should also be brought under the RICO statutes to seize their assets. That would cause massive self-deporations. No way TACO man would even consider this.
This should be tattooed on the foreheads of all
Americans who have forgotten what Jewish free-
dom means: Mr. Lindbergh was a Nazi puppet!
Remember that already, you uncolored racists!

So, 85 million to go, or so? And that’s just the illegals. They need to be shipping out 50,000 to 75,000 per day, minimum.
But without the Supreme Farce ruling Hart-Cellar unconstitutional or Congress annulling it, nothing is really solved. The legal non-White immigrants are a far worse problem than the illegals (see California and Texas).
And their allies are a problem, too.

“Labor shortages” are a GOOD THING.
Wages only rise when a “labor shortage” exists.
When a labor surplus exists, labor is used inefficiently.
When a labor shortage exists, only the most efficient businesses can afford to hire workers from the limited labor pool.
That is why per capita productivity went way uo after the Black Death, and why America, with its open frontier and chronic labor shortage throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, ALWAYS had maximum efficiency and has always been a leading innovator of labor saving devices.
China, in contrast, had a labor surplus starting in the Ming Dynasty, which directly contributed to the de-industrialization of China. It was cheaper to hire workers to grind grain by hand than to maintain water mills. Mark Elvin calls this “High Level Equilibrium” and blames it for China’s technological decline vis-a-vis the West in the late Medieval and early Modern periods.
A labor shortage is our GOAL.
If you want work done in America, do it yourself, or automate the process, or hire an American. And don’t claim that there are no American workers. Offer $20/hour, and you will receive a glut of applicants.
