"In its entire 250-year history, the United States of America has never suffered even a single year-to-year decline in population. Throughout the centuries, births and immigration have always outweighed deaths and emigration."
"According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from July of 2024 to July of 2025, the population grew an anemic 0.5%. Rarely have America's people added so few to their numbers."
"Fertility rates have been declining in the U.S. and around the world for a long time. Yet, they are falling here even faster than expected."
"Now, if there are any MAGA dopes out there who've somehow gotten through five paragraphs of reading, they are probably thinking that a decline in population is good and attributable to President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown."
The United States has never experienced a year-to-year population decline in its 250-year history, with births and immigration consistently outpacing deaths. However, projections indicate a potential first-ever annual decrease in population, with growth rates dropping to 0.5% from July 2024 to July 2025. Fertility rates are also declining, reaching a record low of 1.57 children per woman. While immigration policies have impacted net migration, historical deportation numbers do not fully explain the current trends in population decline.
