601,000 Foreign-born workers leave U.S. labor force amid Trump immigration crackdown, study finds
06/24/2025 // Laura Harris // 
 
An estimated 601,000 foreign-born individuals exited the U.S. labor force between January and May 2025, following President Donald Trump's return to office and aggressive immigration enforcement.

ICE arrests have surged, DHS has promoted "self-deportation" and border policies have drastically limited new illegal entries, leading to a net population decline.

The estimated illegal immigrant population dropped from 15.8 million in January to 14.8 million in May, with the most significant decline among non-citizens from Latin America who arrived after 1980.

Industries reliant on undocumented workers, especially agriculture, report labor shortages; business groups warn of broader workforce disruptions.

Supporters argue the decline benefits less-educated American workers, possibly raising wages and drawing more U.S.-born men without college degrees back into the labor force.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Good! It's a start.

I'm willing to bet that population number is significantly understated.

Well... ok.
Where did they go?
Are they still in the USA?
Did they return to their countries of origin?
