Fresh economic data is delivering exactly what President Trump promised: his America First immigration policies are making life more affordable for hardworking Americans by driving up wages and giving workers real purchasing power again.
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow broke down the stunning numbers on Friday's "Alex Marlow Show," revealing that "things are literally becoming more affordable" thanks to Trump's immigration enforcement. "You want to talk about affordability, that's the raw data - people are getting paid 3.8% more," Marlow explained.
The wage growth comes as Trump's mass deportation operation removes illegal immigrants who have been undercutting American workers for decades. When you reduce the supply of cheap foreign labor, basic economics kicks in - employers have to compete for American workers by raising wages.
"This is exactly what we predicted would happen when we secure our borders and put Americans first," said one Trump administration official. "No more race to the bottom on wages."
The data vindicate Trump's core argument that uncontrolled immigration hurts working-class Americans the most. While the Biden regime allowed millions of illegals to flood across the border and depress wages, Trump is reversing that disaster with decisive action.
America First Economics Working
The 3.8% wage increase represents real money in Americans' pockets - money that families can use for groceries, gas, and housing instead of watching their purchasing power erode while competing with illegal workers willing to accept substandard wages.
This is the kind of populist economics that the establishment said was impossible. They claimed you couldn't raise wages without causing inflation. Trump is proving them wrong by attacking the root cause: unfair competition from illegal labor.
Meanwhile, Democrats are scrambling to explain why they fought so hard to keep the borders open when the benefits of enforcement are already showing up in paychecks across America.
How long will it take for even the most stubborn Trump critics to admit that America First policies actually work for American workers?
