The negative number is mostly due to a drop in entries, the report said.

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 estimate there were between 310,000 and 315,000 removals in 2025, a figure lower than what the administration has claimed. Department of Homeland Security officials claim that, so far, more than 600,000 people have been removed during the crackdown.

"At 310,000 to 315,000, the 2025 removals are not much higher than the 2024 removals of around 285,000," the report states.
Unlike in 2024, most removals in 2025 were initiated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection from the country's interior, the report said, as opposed to being initiated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- despite the actions of some ICE officers dominating many news headlines.
A spokesperson with the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees CPB and ICE, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.
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.
"The slowdown implies weaker employment, GDP, and consumer spending growth," the report states, adding that consumer spending is expected to fall by between $60 billion and $110 billion over 2025 and 2026.

God damn the mad man is actually doing it.
As the article states, Biden artificially inflated his deportation numbers by letting people walk across the border and then deporting a fraction of them.
Trump on the other hand has not only beat Biden's Trumped up deportation numbers, but he did it by largely by deporting illegals from the interior of the country.
He did it.

Fucking this. What this demonstrates isn't the success of any kind of border security or anti-illegal immigration policy, but a failure of reputation and a rapid decline of status as a nation.
If people do not want to move to your country, there is a fucking problem with it.

Yeah democrats did that. Not the universally hostile and retarded tariffs. Not the open corruption. Not the open threats against half of the population for protesting the open corruption. None of that possibly convinced anyone "hey maybe these guys aren't doing so well".

These "protestors" stole firearms out of looted ICE vehicles and are now forming quasi-militias to tail and interrogate anybody driving a white sedan.

Yeah, it was Democrats complaining about it and making it a problem that caused the bad rep specifically to get Trump.
Meanwhile, the "good guys" take over and cause mass inflation and economic distress when in power, and when not in power they cause massive civil unrest.
With the amount of unrest liggerals have cause who would want to move to the US to get assraped by inflation while working 50 hours a week to pay taxes to support Mexicans and Somalis? They could do that in their own country easily.

Back in around 2004, I was in my early 20s.
I applied for a role at Nasa. I had a specialised degree and masters from a british university, irish and I had about £20,000 in savings I was going to use as getting accommodation and the like, really wanted the role. I had studied a particular line in electronics and the guys I spoke to at Nasa after sending a bunch of covering letters, well, if Nasa are talking to you, especially overseas, then you're doing well.
The long and short of it was the USA Visa process took a year to tell me to take a hike. It was a no go.
Oh well, not happening, get on with life.
5 years later, I am there with family for my cousin's wedding. Off the flight, I get met by immigration who spend hours contacting relatives to ensure the story was legit and in the end denied me entry. I had to take my lilly ass on home.
No criminal history, no acts of terrorism, I cooperated in every single way possible, was cordial to the officials who were doing my security checks. The end result, my crime was applying to Nasa and failing to secure a working Visa and they were scared I wouldn't leave after the two weeks out there for wedding and vacation. I already had a job and kid back in the UK at that time, so for sure I was going back.
Years later still, my company had to send me to Pittsburgh to do some work out there as we were a vendor for a client. I told my company of my past dealings with the USA. We contacted the American embassy who gave the thumbs up, told them why I was going to be there, etc. Arrived at JFK and a 4 hour wait to connect to pittsburgh. Arrived at Pittsburgh, showed my passport. Well what do you know, denied entry, suspicious of my previous visa withdrawals and suspect me of working. No shit, dumbfuck, I am there for work! As discussed.
20 hours back home!
Bear in mind, I'm also white.
The USA have done it to themselves. To me, the UK just seem to want to play catch up to be just as fucked as you are.

British universities aren't like what they are now. IT wasn't a hotbed for lefty rightthink as it is now.
I had no particular affiliations at that age anyway. Youth of the early 2000s weren't as politicised for corporate gain as they are now.

I didn't even notice the "2004" part. Previous to 2001, Americans were open carrying on flights and giving handguns to every foreigner who entered the country, figuratively of course.
2004 was a rough time where most Americans had to be worn like a hand puppet by an Arab immigrant ATF agent before getting on a plane barefoot.

Nice job telling yourself that your stupid conservative head cannon that was investigated and proven to be false by republicans controlling the house and senate. You know they would have charged anyone if they had a shred of evidence. But keep pushing your disproven by republicans fishing as hard as they could bullshit. 5 minutes of research shows how much this issue has been a boondoggle for republicans as who could find no actionable evidence.
The pardons were for the people who impeached Trump so he couldn’t throw retribution at them like he promised he would. Had nothing to do and don’t cover anything to do with the Barisma Hunter Biden stuff. Those pardons would not cover them if there was charges for that.

All of the things I said are objectively true. This state cares very little to stop the relatives of politicians committing fraud. It does not excuse "your guy" from taking the biggest bite in history from your (our) tax dollars

You fail to understand how "whatboutisms" even work. An altruistic expectation from the human population is a fantasy if you expect politicians to be held accountable without unilaterally applying the same standard to EVERYONE in power. Even your guys.
If you can do basic math you would see how the less harmful outcome is preferable to us, the voters and not devalued by accepting the worse candidates bad behavior.

Alright, you go ahead and pick all the vegetables and fruits, work the fast food service jobs, clean toilets and urinals, deliver food and whatever other jobs Americans won't do but still expect to be done for a paltry wage. And I don't want to hear you complaining about it
>>
>>1479517
Sure is weird how every other country on Earth is able to get that done without unlimited immigration.
>a paltry wage
you're the one who wants those jobs to have a paltry wage though. Myself and other rightwingers want those jobs to have a first-world wage, which they would if not for mass immigration.
