The economic impact of the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies is becoming more apparent. According to recent data, the number of foreign-born workers in the U.S. increased by 1.24 million from August 2023 to August 2024. Meanwhile, the number of American-born workers fell by 1.32 million during the same timeframe.
This shift in the labor market is particularly concerning for American males, who experienced a loss of 1.15 million jobs. American-born women also faced job losses, though to a lesser extent, with a decrease of 165,000 jobs. In contrast, foreign-born male workers gained 695,000 jobs, and foreign-born female workers saw an increase of 546,000 jobs.
Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies are exacerbating wage pressures and reducing job opportunities for U.S. citizens. The influx of immigrants into the workforce is seen as a key factor in driving down wages and diminishing job prospects for American workers.
President Donald Trump’s proposed policies aim to address these issues by focusing on reducing illegal immigration and promoting job creation for American workers. Trump’s plan seeks to counter the negative effects of current immigration policies and restore job security for U.S. citizens.
The growing concern over the impact of immigration on American jobs highlights the need for policy changes to better support U.S. workers and address the challenges posed by an increasing foreign-born workforce.
