The United States could see negative net migration in 2025, a shift not recorded in at least 50 years, according to reporting from CNN. The development comes as President Donald J. Trump continues policies aimed at reducing illegal immigration and increasing deportations.
CNN’s Harry Enten commented on the potential change: “We may be dealing with — get this — negative net migration to the United States in 2025. That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years. We’re talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024 … We are seeing record low levels, way down from where we are during the Biden Administration.”
The analysis was featured in a segment reviewing the first six months of President Trump’s second term. During the broadcast, Enten described President Trump as “the most influential President of this century — and probably dating back a good portion of last century.”
