Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argued that President Donald Trump’s immigration policies are helping return jobs to American workers. He said the administration expects real wage gains to resume as deportations continue and private-sector hiring strengthens.
Immigration and Job Growth
Bessent told Fox News that ‘mass unfettered immigration has stopped,’ citing roughly 1.82 million voluntary and mandatory deportations. He said data indicates wage growth for American workers, and that the administration’s immigration enforcement has redirected employment opportunities to U.S. workers while strengthening the private sector.
