U.S. Immigrant Population Has Already Fallen by 2.2 Million Since Trump Took Office — Driven by Secure Southern Border and Self-Deportations

Published

President Trump’s promise to curtail illegal immigration appears to be paying off.

A study by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that the U.S. foreign-born population has dropped by 2.2 million during Trump’s second term, reversing decades of record-high levels of immigration.

This trend is largely driven by the Trump administration’s decision to secure the southern border after the Biden regime welcomed in some 10 million illegal aliens over the course of his presidency.

The report states:

Based on the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) from January to July of this year the Center for Immigration Studies previously reported that the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) declined by 2.2 million, with illegal immigrants accounting for nearly three-fourths of the falloff.

The August data shows a nearly identical number of immigrants as July, so the decline remains 2.2 million through August.

As we noted in our prior report, because of stepped-up immigration enforcement it is possible the decline “was due, at least in part, to a greater reluctance by immigrants to participate in the survey or to identify as foreign-born”.

However, based on multiple months of data, response rates to the CPS, continued willingness of survey participants to answer immigration-related questions, slowing job growth reported by employers, anecdotal evidence, and other data, we find no reason to doubt that the decline in the foreign-born is real.

Officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last month reported that roughly 1.6 million illegal immigrants had voluntarily left the country, while Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had carried out more than 400,000 formal deportations.

The agency recently confirmed that recorded the lowest level of illegal border crossings in 55 years over the current fiscal year, with fewer than 238,000 apprehensions along the southern border.

Last week, a poll from The New York Times found that a majority of Americans supported efforts to deport people who are living in the U.S. illegally, including nearly 20 percent of Democrats.

Meanwhile, just 24 percent of Americans said they “strongly oppose” the administration’s deportation efforts.

President Trump on Friday announced another deal with UK-based pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca to lower drug costs for Americans on Medicaid. 

The drug manufacturer will now sell prescription drugs to patients at Most Favored Nations prices through TrumpRx.gov.

This comes after the President struck a deal with Pfizer to also provide Americans with heavily discounted prescription drugs at most-favored-nation prices.

Trump made the announcement on AstraZeneca in the Oval Office on Friday, where he touted his efforts to lower drug costs during his first term and announced Most Favored Nations pricing from "the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in the United Kingdom."

"I had it going very well in my first term, but we were interrupted by rigged elections, so I was unable to carry it forward," the President noted.

Trump also highlighted AstraZeneca's plans to build a new plant in Charlottesville, Virginia, where they broke ground on Thursday, investing $50 billion in U.S. manufactuting, he said. "It's going to have 3,600 jobs just to begin with, and that's going to be a fantastic plant," Trump said.

Trump delivered remarks on the new deal and AstraZeneca's manufacturing plans in America for nearly seven minutes before taking questions from the press. AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, CMS Administrator, Mehmet Oz, FDA commissioner Marty McCary, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin joined the President and delivered remarks.

WATCH:

Trump: Today, I'm excited to announce another historic achievement in our quest to lower drug prices for all Americans. You know, prices have come way down. We've gotten prices way down for groceries, for oil, especially today, we broke $60/a barrel. We think the oil is going to be under $2 a gallon very soon. That's about 70% lower than what it was just a year ago. So, that's a big thing. And when the oil comes down, everything comes down. It's pretty beautiful to watch. AstraZeneca, the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in the United Kingdom, is committing to offer Americans major discounts on their vast catalog of prescription drugs, one of the great companies by the way, and a most favored nation's pricing clause. So, most favored nation is 'reyou going to pay whatever the lowest price anywhere in the world is; that's what you're going to be paying.

And I was, I had it going very well in my first term, but we were interrupted by rigged elections, so I was unable to carry it forward. We started it, but this was something I— one of the reasons I wanted to run again was we had to have favored nations, where the world is not going to be paying just a fraction, just a tiny fraction, of what we were paying. I want to thank CEO Pascal Soriot, very highly respected, one of the most respected men in business and certainly in the industry, for joining us today, as well as Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., CMS Administrator, Mehmet Oz, FDA commissioner Marty McCary, and Virginia Governor— a man who's done an incredible job and good luck with the upcoming election. I know you're working very hard. I watch you, you're right there. He's out there working. He wants to see that young woman win, and the Attorney General, who I endorsed, etc., etc.— Glenn Youngkin. Thank you very much, Glenn, thank you for being here. For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription drugs, by far, by far, many times the amount that other countries are paying. It’s ridiculous. Upon taking office, I signed an executive order to make sure that Americans pay no more for prescription medications than the lowest price for the same drug in other locations and developing nations.

Today, AstraZeneca is committing to offer all of their prescription medications to Medicaid at most favored nations prices. In other words, the lowest price anywhere in the world, that's what we get, a move that will save American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. And I tell the story, Glenn, that in my first term, I had the honor of being the first president in 28 years to lower drug prices during the course of the year. And we actually did, and I was so proud of myself. We called a news conference, I announced it. It was 1/8 of 1%, 1/8 of 1%. Now, drug prices are going to be going down 100%, 400%, 600%, 1,000%, in some cases. But for 1/8 of a cent, Bobby, think of that, I was so proud because for 28 years, nobody had done it, and now it’s— I think back to that, I said, I shouldn't have had that news conference. But it’s just true, I was the only one that did it, but it was not very much, and now we're going to get, in Some cases, 1,000% reduction. This could have a huge impact on everything from Social Security to Medicare to Medicaid, anything where they're buying any prescription drugs, it’s going to have an incredible impact. It's going to lower itself greatly. AstraZeneca will also list many of their most popular drugs online at TrumpRX.gov, Trump, RX. I don't know why they put the name Trump. I did not tell him to do it, but I'm honored to let him do it. That's true actually. At heavily reduced most favored nations cost, Americans can expect discounts and, as I said, it could be, in many cases, way over 100%. And as an example, one particular drug that's hot, very hot, 654% on inhalers, COPD and asthma, as well as certain diabetics medications. They're going to be averaging about 654% reduction in price. You believe that one?

The Democrats will say, well, he should have gotten more. It's crazy. In addition, all medications AstraZeneca introduces to the American market, going forward, will also be sold at these heavily discounted rates. Furthermore, AstraZeneca will invest $50 billion in the United States over the next five years for research and development of new drugs and to onshore manufacturing facilities across the country, like the new plant that broke ground yesterday in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the governor attended and they had a tremendous group of people attending. It's going to have 3,600 jobs just to begin with, and that's going to be a fantastic plant. I saw a picture. It's going to be the best, right? Can't get any better. This is a tremendous victory for Virginia and for American patients and for everything, for the country. It's an amazing company to have coming over to the United States in such a big way. That's going to be a big part of the company. Presidents have promised for years to lower the cost of health care, but my administration is actually the first to do it and do it substantially, do it at numbers that nobody thought, even I thought, were not possible, when you think. Think of it, if you got a 1%, 2%, 5%, that's good. You did a good job. We're talking about 100, 200m 300, 500 700, in some cases, some big, big numbers. And the largest drug companies in the world are working with us to make this a reality. And so I look forward to being at your opening of that incredible facility. I hear something, and it's in a great location, one of the beautiful locations.

93% of Virginia Democrats Approve of Their Candidates Calling for the Murder of Republicans and Children Dying in Their Mothers’ Arms

A poll sent out to Democrats this week in Virginia found that 93% of Democrats approved of Republican politicians being murdered and their children dying in their mother’s arms.

They don’t even hide their homicidal dreams anymore.

Democrats are no longer safe to be around. They offer nothing to the country but still want to kill you if you do not support them.

Via Wall Street Apes:

A poll was sent out to Democrat voters in Virginia

The poll asked if the texts sent out by Virginia Attorney General nominee Jay Jones that called for the murder of Republicans, their kids and police we’re disqualifying to run for AG

93% of Democrats responded NO

We cannot coexist with liberals. They literally want us dead

John Fredericks discussed this poll that shows how Virginia Democrats feel about Jay Jones’ texts that Republicans should be killed and their families will suffer.

John Fredericks: So I just got a poll. Just came out last night. Got it when I got up today. This is really going to not sit well with you. A poll was sanctioned by the John Reid for Lieutenant Governor campaign. So I got the insight on it. It hasn’t been released yet.

But here’s the one number that is going to make you sick to your stomach. Here’s the one number – When Democrats in Virginia were asked, did the text that Jay Jones sent to a colleague calling for the assassination of, at that time, Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert, his wife, his kids, hoping his kids would die in her arms so she could suffer, calling for police to die so he could get policy on qualified immunity. When asked the question, Are these texts disqualifying for your candidate for attorney general?

7% of Virginia Democrats said yes. 93 said no. Basically, if you’re a Virginia Democrat, you have no problem with your candidate for attorney general threatening his assassination of a speaker of the House, his wife, his kids, and want to see the kids die in her arms. We have to see cops die in Virginia.

Only 7% reject that.

Here is a copy of the text messages by Jay Jones on murdering Republicans. Jones is running for Attorney General in the state.
Text conversation discussing controversial opinions and personal feelings about political issues, highlighting tension and misunderstandings between participants.

Here is the video, via Wall Street Apes.

Here is the full tweet.

This is next level democracy.

Even the Democrat candidate for governor is OK with this murder talk.

Democrats want you dead.

BREAKING: Rabid Leftist Who Spat on Ed Martin and Kicked US Marshals Will Avoid Prison Time After Biden Judge Sentences Her to ‘Time Served’

Emily Gabriella Sommer charged for assaulting Ed Martin

The rabid leftist who spat on DOJ official Ed Martin and kicked US Marshals will avoid prison time after a Biden-appointed federal judge sentenced her to ‘time served.’

The Justice Department sought 18 months in prison for Emily Sommer, the unhinged leftist who spat on Ed Martin and kicked US Marshals earlier this year.

Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, sentenced Sommer to four months time served. Sommer was sentenced to fourth months time served, home confinement and probation, rather than prison time.

In May, the Justice Department charged Emily Gabriella Sommer for assaulting Ed Martin.

Sommer was charged with violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111 (Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States).

In June, the DOJ asked the Court to detain Emily Sommer pending trial because she threatened Ed Martin and Jeannine Pirro in a series of X posts.

Emily Sommer was put in a DC jail after threatening a neighbor with a crowbar. She also physically attacked US Marshals after being removed from the courtroom in May.

“Sommer became agitated during her initial appearance in court on May 22 upon learning the prosecutor’s office intended to seek a more serious version of the assault charge that requires forcible contact and carries a maximum sentence of up to 8 years in prison. While in holding after being removed from the courtroom, Sommer allegedly spit and kicked on two U.S. Marshals. A second superseding indictment was filed in June with two additional assault counts for the incident,” WUSA 9 reported.

Sommer pleaded guilty to three counts of assault for spitting on Ed Martin and assaulting US Marshals.

Sommer spat on then-Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin earlier this year while he was interviewing with Newsmax.

“We need to stay focused,” Ed Martin said during an interview with Newsmax when he was interrupted by a leftist protester who approached him.

Ed Martin backed up as the woman became aggressive and spat on him.

“Whoa!” Ed Martin said.

“You’re a disgusting man!” the woman said as she walked away with her dog in tow.

In the uncensored version, the woman is heard screaming, “who the f*ck are you?! You are Ed Martin!” before spitting on him.

WATCH:

In a previous court filing, the DOJ said additional assault charges and a stalking charge would be added because of Sommer’s threats to Ed Martin and Jeanine Pirro.

The DOJ filing argued that Emily Sommer’s X posts threatening Ed Martin and Judge Pirro violated her probation.

“Fuck you, Ed… but since you’ve once again made me hostage in this city, I’ll make sure it eats you alive and spits you back out, like the felony “assault” you’ve alleged, wit your punk-ass-bitch-cuckold-neo-neo-neo-no-brained-Neanderthal (no shade to actual non-Sapiens) cracka ass, jive-turkey redneck from the Midwest,” Emily Sommer said in an X post.

Sommer issued a veiled threat to Judge Jeanine Pirro.

“And lmaoooooo @JudgeJeanine is the bish that took your job That’s gotta hurt. And she’s got so much trash talk comin her way too, don’t worry bish, you’ll get it too,” Sommer said.
