Remember when the legacy media and their Democrat allies screamed that mass deportations would destroy America? They called it cruel. They called it impossible. They called it economic suicide.
They were dead wrong.
One year into President Trump's ironclad commitment to enforcing our nation's immigration laws, the results are in — and they're nothing short of spectacular for hardworking American families.
Your Paycheck Is Getting Bigger
Here's something the mainstream media won't tell you: American blue-collar workers are experiencing the largest wage growth in nearly 60 years. Truckers and construction workers — industries that were flooded with cheap foreign labor under the disastrous Biden regime — are finally seeing their paychecks reflect their true worth.
Real wages for American workers are on track to rise 4.2% in Trump's first full year back in office. That's not just outpacing inflation — it's a complete reversal from the Biden era, when working families watched their purchasing power evaporate while millions of illegal aliens poured across the border.
Housing Costs Are Finally Coming Down
For years, Americans watched helplessly as home prices skyrocketed beyond reach. The cause? Simple supply and demand — flood the country with tens of millions of illegal immigrants, and housing becomes scarce and expensive.
Now? In 14 of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal migrant populations, home prices declined year-over-year in December. The only areas seeing increases? So-called "sanctuary cities" that continue to defy federal law and put illegal aliens before their own citizens.
Home prices have dropped nationally for the first time in more than two years. That's the Trump effect, folks.
Americans Are Getting Back to Work
The employment numbers tell a story the Democrats desperately want to hide. Between January and December 2025, two million native-born Americans gained employment. Meanwhile, 662,000 foreign-born workers left the workforce.
Nearly 1.8 million American citizens have rejoined the labor force. These aren't just statistics — these are your neighbors, your family members, finally getting the opportunities that were stolen from them by decades of open-border insanity.
Crime Is Plummeting — Especially in Democrat Cities
Perhaps nothing exposes the left's lies more completely than the crime statistics. America just experienced the largest single-year drop in murders on record. Rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, shooting deaths — all plummeting.
And here's the kicker: the most dramatic improvements are happening in Democrat-run cities where the Trump Administration conducted mass deportation operations.
Washington, D.C. saw murders decline 60% and carjackings drop 68%. Chicago recorded its fewest murders since 1965 — that's nearly 60 years, Patriots. Memphis saw shootings drop nearly 40%. New Orleans' homicide rate fell to its lowest level in half a century.
Overdose deaths? Down dramatically as the administration cracks down on fentanyl trafficking. Traffic fatalities? Dropping. On-duty law enforcement deaths? Down 25%.
The Bottom Line
While Democrats and their media allies continue to fight tooth and nail to sabotage these gains and drag America back to the chaos of open borders, President Trump remains laser-focused on delivering exactly what he promised: security, prosperity, and safety for American citizens.
The data doesn't lie. The America First agenda isn't just working — it's transforming the quality of life for millions of Americans who were abandoned by the political establishment for far too long.
So the next time some talking head on CNN tells you that enforcing immigration law is "cruel" or "racist," remember these numbers. Remember who's actually fighting for you.
And ask yourself: why do Democrats want to go back to the way things were?
