American population growth is expected to decrease faster than previously projected as a result of president Donald Trump’s Immigration policy, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Trump’s immigration law reduces workforce, GDP growth
The updated demographic prospects of the CBO, which was released on Wednesday, predicts that the US will experience more deaths than births from 2031, two years earlier than earlier projected. This shift is attributed to a reduced immigrant population and lower fertility percentages, a result of Trump’s 2025 Reconciliation Act or “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
The law assigns $ 170 billion for immigration and border enforcement of the border, including a fixed amount of $ 29.9 billion for US Immigration and Customs enforcement operations (ICE) and hiring 10,000 ice officers.
The CBO estimates that around 290,000 immigrants will be removed from the country between 2026 and 2029, with around 50,000 immigrants who are retained daily during this period.
This action is expected to directly influence the labor force. According to the CBO report, the additional arrests caused by law will reduce the available workforce and increase the opportunities for successful immigrant removals.
In short, the occurrence of Trump’s immigration will shrink “the American GDP growth,” said CBO.

Slowly Job growth, high inflation as immigrant work shrinking
Trump’s strict immigration policy has already had a significant influence on the American labor force. From July, the American labor force had a decrease of more than 1.2 million immigrants, both legally and undocumented, due to Trump’s policy, according to data from the provisional census of the Pew Research Center.
This decrease in immigrant workers has a significant impact on the American labor market. Pia OrreniusA labor economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas noted that immigrants are usually good for at least half of American job growth, and their absence has a considerable influence on the ability to create jobs.
While the CBO continues to report a positive net migration, a working document discovered in July of the American Enterprise Institute that there will be a negative net migration, which will reduce the growth of the US BBP by 0.3% to 0.4%, due to a lower consumer expenditure and a shrinking labor force, reported Fortune.
The co-author report stated: “We … cannot maintain a high degree of job growth with the population born in the US, because there are essentially not enough bodies.”
In addition, the deportation of immigrants under Trump’s policy has been associated with increasing costs and inflation by Mark ZandiThe most important economist at Moody’s, who warned that inflation could rise from the current 2.5% to almost 4% by the beginning of next year.
