flag U.S. had negative net migration in 2025 for first time in 50 years due to strict immigration enforcement.

flag The U.S. recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least 50 years, according to a Brookings Institution report, driven by a sharp drop in new arrivals due to tightened immigration enforcement, suspension of most refugee programs, and reduced temporary visas. flag The report estimates net migration between -295,000 and -10,000, with removals totaling 310,000 to 315,000—slightly up from 2024—mostly initiated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection from within the country. flag The trend is projected to continue in 2026, fueled by funding from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, potentially expanding enforcement. flag Economists warn of declining employment, GDP, and consumer spending, with a projected $60 billion to $110 billion drop in spending over two years, especially affecting immigrant-dependent businesses.
