New Data Shows 1 Million Fewer Illegal Immigrants in U.S. Since January
- According to recent data, the number of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States decreased by approximately one million between January and May 2025.
- This decline followed President Trump’s executive order on January 20 titled 'Protecting the American People Against Invasion' and intensified enforcement efforts.
- Additional details show a 957,000 reduction in the total foreign-born population and a 600,000 drop in immigrants in the labor force during this period.
- Steven Camarota, the report’s lead author, noted that data suggests the Trump administration’s policies have influenced a decrease in illegal immigration, which he believes could lead to higher wages for Americans without a college education.
- The decline may relieve pressure on the labor market with some former immigrants leaving voluntarily while enforcement actions increased, suggesting a reversal of prior growth trends.
