Donald Trump has made fearful, even unforgivable mistakes, but he has done something no other president has done in nearly 100 years: He has reversed the relentless increase in the number of foreigners living in the United States. During Mr. Obama’s two terms, the brown and blue lines, the number was up 6.3 million.In his first term, the first green line, even Mr. Trump let in 1.6 million, and Joe Biden, the purple line, broke all records and in just four years, waved in 8.3 million. This term, Mr. Trump reversed course. By July this year, the number of foreigners was down 2.9 million.
There hasn’t been a drop in the number of foreigners since the Great Depression (except for a tiny dip during Covid). Reversing such a sustained trend is heroic. How did Mr. Trump do it?
