Good News: America Has Negative Migration For 1st Time In 50 Years

I was told by Democrats, their pet media, and Never Trumpers that the only way to accomplish anything close to this was passing a bunch of laws that would really mean legal status for millions of illegals/migrants/fake asylum seekers with a wink wink promise of securing the borders

US, for 1st time in 50 years, experienced negative net migration in 2025: Report

The U.S. experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century as a result of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, according to a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution.

Although the administration has undertaken aggressive removal efforts, the negative number is mostly due to a significant drop in entries into the U.S., the report said.

“We estimate net flows of -295,000 to -10,000 for the year,” the Brookings study stated. “Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely.”

The report attributed the shift to combination of the large drop in entries and an increase in enforcement activity leading to removals and voluntary departures.

The Trump administration’s suspension of many humanitarian programs — including most refugee programs with the exception of those involving white South Africans — and a decline in temporary visas also contributed to the negative net migration, the report said.

The report’s authors also predicted removals will increase in 2026 with funding from President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the report said will “likely allow for increased infrastructure and staffing to achieve a higher level of enforcement.”

According to the report, authorities also predict the net migration loss will see certain sectors of the economy experience “unexpectedly weak economic activity,” specifically businesses that serve affected immigrant populations.
