‘Affordability’: White House spotlights benefits of mass deportation, so far
The White House Wednesday issued a statement highlighting the benefits of mass deportation and closing the border have had on the lives of Americans.
“Through mass deportations,” the staement explains, “the Trump Administration is freeing up resources, revitalizing opportunity, and restoring safety – delivering tangible results that put American citizens first.”
The administration attributes lower housing costs in 14 of the 20 metro areas with the highest number of illegal aliens to deportations and fewer illegal immigrants coming to the U.S.
“Overall, home prices have dropped for the first time in more than two years as housing affordability shows signs of improvement under the Trump Administration.”
The White House also spotlighted improvements in three other indicators: wages, employment and the crime rate:
Mass deportations = higher wages.
American truckers and construction workers — both industries with high numbers of foreign-born workers — have reported large increases in pay as blue-collar wages grow at the fastest clip in decades. Overall, real wages for American workers are on track to rise 4.2% in President Trump’s first full year.
Mass deportations = more jobs.
Between January and December 2025, two million native-born Americans have gained employment, while 662,000 foreign-born workers have lost employment; 1.8 million native-born Americans have joined the labor force, while 881,000 foreign-born workers have left the labor force.
Mass deportations = lower crime.
The nation experienced the largest single-year drop in murders on record last year, alongside steep declines in rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, shooting deaths (the fewest since 2015), on-duty law enforcement officer deaths, traffic fatalities, and overdose deaths.
