"About 290,000 immigrants will be removed from the country between 2026 and 2029 as a result of the law, the CBO said, and about 50,000 immigrants will be detained per day in the same period. An increase in ICE personnel will lead to 5,500 more arrests in 2026 and 100,000 more in 2029 than if the policy had not been enacted. Another 30,000 are projected to leave voluntarily between 2026 and 2030."
"The U.S. population is poised to begin contracting in 2031, earlier than projected, according to the Congressional Budget Office, in large part due to President Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies. The agency now projects 290,000 immigrants will be removed from the country between 2026 and 2029. Economists warned less immigration and negative net migration could create woes for the U.S. labor force and inflation."
CBO projects U.S. deaths will exceed births beginning in 2031, two years earlier than previously projected, driven by a diminished immigrant population and lower fertility rates. The 2025 reconciliation act allocates $170 billion for immigration and border enforcement, including $29.9 billion to ICE and hiring 10,000 officers. The CBO estimates about 290,000 immigrants will be removed between 2026 and 2029, with about 50,000 detained per day and another 30,000 expected to leave voluntarily between 2026 and 2030. Economists warn reduced immigration and negative net migration will tighten the labor force, elevate inflation, and shrink GDP growth.
