Trump Says ‘100% of Net Job Creation Has Gone to American Citizens’ Since He Took Office [WATCH]

A fired-up Trump, a packed rally, and a familiar message: American jobs for American workers.

President Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania on Tuesday and delivered a full-throttle defense of his immigration and economic policies, telling supporters they’re the reason American workers are finally back on top.

Speaking at Mount Airy Casino Resort — the kickoff to a tour highlighting his administration’s economic record — Trump zeroed in on job creation and the link he draws between his border crackdown and the labor market.

“Before I entered office, 100% of all new net jobs were going to migrant workers,” Trump said. “Migrant workers and illegal aliens got 100%. But since I took office, 100% of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. How about that?”

He hammered the point harder. “Now think of it — 100% went to American citizens. Before, 100% went to people that came into the country illegally — again, many of them from prisons, many of them gang members, drug members, Tren de Aragua,” he said. “More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.”

Later in the speech, Trump credited the shift to what he called “reverse migration,” claiming that for the first time in decades, more people are leaving the United States than entering.

“For the first time in 50 years, we now have reverse migration, which means more jobs, better wages, and higher income for American citizens, not for illegal aliens,” Trump told the crowd.
