Per a press release issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the July employment report shows that American-born workers are filling more jobs as the federal government intensifies efforts to remove illegal immigrants from the labor force. The department attributed these developments to the economic and immigration policies implemented under President Donald J. Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with job growth tied to stricter border enforcement and voluntary departure programs.

The DHS highlighted the role of the CBP Home App, which encourages voluntary self-deportation by offering $1,000 in assistance, free travel, and potential eligibility for legal reentry. Officials stressed that these measures are part of a broader strategy to prioritize employment for legal residents and restore what they describe as a fair labor market for American citizens. The agency emphasized that the recent employment trends are a direct outcome of these policies, asserting that the labor force is realigning in favor of American workers.
Another economic shift came with the collection of more than $130 billion in tariffs since January 2025—surpassing the totals from the previous five full fiscal years. Customs and Border Protection, now under Secretary Noem’s oversight, reported a tariff collection rate of 99.5%. Officials anticipate that this figure will increase even further following the closure of the long-criticized “de minimis” trade loophole via executive order by President Trump.

The de minimis rule had allowed for small-value imports to enter the country with limited customs scrutiny, which DHS claims contributed to the influx of synthetic opioids and other illicit goods. Federal officials say its removal strengthens national security, protects domestic businesses, and increases revenue for the U.S. government. According to DHS, these reforms are designed to create safer communities and more robust economic conditions for American families.
