America First in Action: U.S. Records Net Negative Migration Across Every Metro Area

The United States has achieved a historic turnaround on immigration, with net migration falling across every single metropolitan area in the country last year. It’s yet another major victory for President Donald J. Trump’s unrelenting commitment to securing our borders and putting America First.

From The New York Times:

“In the Laredo metro area, on the Texas border, immigration screeched to a virtual standstill. El Centro, a metro that has historically served as a desert gateway into California, lost more people to other countries than it gained. In Denver and its suburbs, the net immigration rate fell by almost three-quarters. In the Chicago area, it was slashed by nearly two-thirds.

Every metro area in the United States, in fact, experienced lower immigration rates during the year leading up to July 2025 compared with the previous year, according to new estimates released on Thursday by the Census Bureau.”

These sweeping reductions reflect the undeniable success of President Trump’s signature border security policies. With illegal border crossings at their lowest level since the 1970s, the U.S. recorded net negative migration last year for the first time in at least 50 years — reversing decades of open border failures that undermined American workers, strained public resources, and eroded national sovereignty.

The American people voted for a secure border and a sovereign nation. President Trump is keeping that promise — and the results speak for themselves.
