Mass Deportations Are Improving Americans’ Quality of Life
The White House
January 14, 2026
In just one year, President Donald J. Trump’s ironclad commitment to securing our border and enforcing our nation’s laws is liberating Americans from the crushing burden of unchecked illegal immigration. Through mass deportations, the Trump Administration is freeing up resources, revitalizing opportunity, and restoring safety — delivering tangible results that put American citizens first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Under President Trump, the America First promise is a reality. While Democrats fight to sabotage these gains and drag us back to the chaos of open borders, skyrocketing costs, and rampant crime, President Trump remains unwavering in his commitment to delivering the security, prosperity, and safety the American people deserve.
