10:38Now PlayingA new study from the University of Colorado Boulder, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research on May 4, 2026, just empirically proved what critics and contractors across America have been saying for months:
Trump's mass deportation campaign isn't creating jobs for American workers. It's destroying them.
For every six undocumented workers ICE pushed out of the labor force, ONE U.S.-born American worker also lost his job. Six to one. And the demographic hit hardest? U.S.-born men with a high school degree or less — the exact voter Trump campaigned hardest to win.
