Summary

A thread argues that mass deportations under the Trump administration have led to lower housing costs, higher wages for American workers, increased employment for native-born Americans, and significant drops in crime rates across major U.S. cities, with specific statistics cited for improvements in housing prices, blue-collar wages, labor force participation, and violent crime.

Summarized by ThreadOut AI from the full thread. May miss nuance — read the thread below.

    Mass deportations = lower housing costs. Mass deportations = higher wages. Mass deportations = more jobs. Mass deportations = lower crime. Mass deportations are improving Americans' quality of life. 🧵 whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…

    Mass deportations = lower housing costs. In 14 of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal migrant populations, home list prices declined year-over-year in December — and the three metro areas that saw modest price increases are all so-called “sanctuary cities.” 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.

  3. #3

    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.

  4. #4

    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.

  5. #5

    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. The results are especially pronounced in Democrat-run jurisdictions where the Trump Administration conducted mass deportation and enhanced law enforcement operations: 📍 WASHINGTON, D.C.: Since President Trump’s crackdown began, murders declined 60%, carjackings dropped 68%, and overall crime fell by nearly a third compared to the prior year. 📍 CHICAGO: Last year, the city recorded the fewest murders since 1965, with shootings down by more than one-third. 📍 MEMPHIS: The city recorded fewer than 200 murders last year for the first time since 2019, with shootings dropping nearly 40% from the previous year. 📍 NEW ORLEANS: Last year, the homicide rate fell to its lowest level in nearly 50 years.
