Trump To Shrink US Population?
President Donald Trump is delivering on his promise to secure America’s borders and put American citizens first. A powerful new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reveals that Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act will dramatically reduce the U.S. population growth rate by cracking down on illegal immigration and restoring law and order.
Illegal Immigration Plummets Under Trump’s Bold Action
The CBO projects that by 2035, there will be:
- 320,000 fewer individuals paying into Social Security
- 280,000 fewer people in the general U.S. population
These numbers represent a major reversal of the uncontrolled population boom caused by years of weak border policies under Democrats.
“This report proves that Trump’s policies are working,” said one border security expert. “Illegal immigration is finally being brought under control.”
The estimates depend on factors like court rulings and detention capacity, but the trend is clear: Trump’s crackdown is reversing the Biden-era border crisis.
Billions Invested to Protect Our Borders
The bill is the largest investment in border security in U.S. history, with over $70 billion dedicated to enforcement over four years:
- $47 billion for border walls and physical barriers
- $5 billion for state-of-the-art CBP facilities
- $4 billion to hire and train new border patrol agents
These investments strengthen U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and ensure they have the tools to stop the surge of illegal crossings and protect American families.
Historic Drop in Illegal Immigration
A separate report from the American Enterprise Institute, a respected conservative think tank, predicts a net outflow of 205,000 people in 2025 alone as illegal immigrants leave the country.
For decades, illegal immigration surged, straining schools, hospitals, and law enforcement. Now, thanks to Trump’s leadership, the population growth rate is projected to slow to just 0.2% annually — down sharply from the 0.9% average between 1975 and 2024.
This means fewer tax dollars spent on social services and more resources for veterans, seniors, and hardworking Americans.
Stronger Labor Market for American Workers
Unchecked immigration has depressed wages and hurt American workers for years. Trump’s policies are now restoring balance.
- In August, just 22,000 jobs were added, showing the labor market is cooling.
- The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.3%, but this reflects a reset where employers now favor American workers rather than relying on illegal labor.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell described the labor market as “curious,” noting both demand for workers and supply are stabilizing — a sign of a healthier, fairer system.
Enforcement With Real Results
The CBO projects that between 2026 and 2030, Trump’s immigration policies will lead to:
- 290,000 forcible removals of illegal immigrants
- 30,000 voluntary departures
- 50,000 held in detention facilities as part of expanded enforcement efforts
This is proof positive that Trump’s policies are protecting the nation, deterring future illegal crossings, and restoring safety and security to American communities.
The Bottom Line
Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is more than just legislation — it’s a turning point for America. By stopping the flood of illegal immigration, Trump is defending our borders, strengthening the economy, and protecting the future for generations to come.
Why This Matters for Seniors and Retirees
For Americans age 50+, this policy means:
- Safer communities with reduced crime
- More funding for Social Security and Medicare by cutting off benefits to non-citizens
- Stronger job market for children and grandchildren
- Lower strain on hospitals and healthcare systems
Trump’s leadership ensures that tax dollars go to American citizens, not illegal immigrants.
