President Trump didn’t whisper his victory — he shouted it at the APEC CEO luncheon, telling a room full of global business leaders that “almost 2 million” more American-born workers are on payrolls since he took office nine months ago. That’s a simple, undeniable way to put Americans first: real people back to work, not just headline numbers.
The White House’s own economic team backed him up with cold, hard figures: native-born employment rose by about 2.079 million while foreign-born employment fell by roughly 543,000 during the same stretch, meaning every net new job went to American-born workers. For patriots who believed America should prioritize its citizens, these are the stats we’ve been waiting to see.
Markets and Main Street are already feeling the turnaround — the June jobs report topped expectations and the private sector is leading the recovery with steady hiring and wage gains. That’s what happens when you slash red tape, cut taxes, and make the U.S. the best place on Earth to build and employ.
Of course the left and their media allies tried to muddy the water: neutral fact-checkers pointed out the White House used non-seasonally adjusted household-survey numbers and offered methodological context. Fine — but nuance doesn’t change the headline truth: more Americans working, more paychecks hitting kitchen tables, and a country moving again.
Let’s be blunt: the past few years showed what happens when open-border mania and misplaced priorities give preference to foreign-born labor over American workers. This administration has reversed that trend with common-sense immigration enforcement and policies that incentivize companies to hire at home — and the results are not an accident.
President Trump didn’t just promise jobs, he unleashed an industrial renaissance — major investments from chipmakers and manufacturers are pouring into America because leaders finally made building here simple and profitable again. That’s America First in action: factories, high-tech plants, and good union and non-union jobs returning to towns that were left behind.
Patriots know real success when they see it: record investment, rising wages, and nearly two million more American-born workers clocking in for the pride of an honest day’s work. The political class can spin and stonewall, but the families paying the mortgage and filling the pews feel the difference — and they’ll remember which side put Americans back to work.
