Remember how for years liberals kept repeating that illegal aliens don't take away jobs from American citizens  because many of them are just working in jobs that Americans don't want to do?  Well, a major news outlet has now completely contradicted that assertion. And the source isn't who you might think because it is none other than the Associated Press. The admission that removing illegals from the USA has the effect of lowering the unemployment rate came at the tail end of this AP story on Wednesday by Paul Wiseman about the glowing January  jobs report, "Surge of 130,000 US hires last month is a stark contrast to the weak hiring of 2025." Despite recent high-profile layoffs, the unemployment rate has looked better than the hiring numbers. That is partly because President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown has reduced the number of foreign-born people competing for work. As a result, the number of new jobs that the economy needs to create to keep the unemployment rate from rising has tumbled. Researchers at the Brookings Institution believe it could now be as low as 20,000 and headed lower. So why would the left leaning AP, normally hostile towards Trump, make such an admission? Most likely it was accidental because it was part of AP's effort to downplay the January jobs report starting with the title which emphasized supposed "weak hiring of 2025." Although the numbers  forced AP to generally concede that January yielded a good jobs report, they repeatedly attempted to cast shade over the  upbeat employment news  such as this: Samuel Tombs of Pantheon Macroeconomics remains skeptical, attributing January job gains partly to unusually warm weather that boosted hiring. He noted that construction firms added a strong 33,000 jobs last month. “We think it is premature to conclude the labor market has decisively turned a corner,” he wrote. So perhaps Mr. Wiseman in an effort to  cast  aspersions upon  the good employment numbers in January simply slipped up when he made the stunning admission that President Trump's deportation policies were extremely  helpful in  lowering the unemployment rate.
