Restoration News has attributed President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies to a reduction in immigrant labor, an increase in labor force participation, and a rise in wages for American workers. This announcement was made in an article published by the outlet.
According to Reuters, U.S. immigration enforcement efforts, including deportations and declines in migrant inflows, are significantly reducing the foreign-born workforce, with an average of around 10,000 removals per month and nearly halting new inflows. Restoration News argues that this contraction in labor provides American workers with greater hiring opportunities, countering fears of economic collapse. The outlet presents this policy intervention as a strategic corrective to what critics have labeled a "labor buffet" under previous administrations.
As reported by Reuters Economics, U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 139,000 jobs in May—surpassing expectations by over 10%—while unemployment remained steady at 4.2%. Average hourly wages increased by 0.4% to $36.24, demonstrating real wage growth without triggering inflation. Restoration News cites these outcomes as evidence that a tighter domestic labor pool benefits American workers without causing late-stage economic disruption.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, long-term unemployment (27+ weeks) decreased by 218,000 in May—a 13% decline—while the leisure and hospitality sector added 48,000 jobs, with food services leading at 30,000 new positions. The article connects these shifts to Americans filling roles historically held by immigrant labor. Restoration News interprets this as proof that domestic workers are returning to and thriving in industries once reliant on foreign-born employees.
