President Trump is booting out illegal immigrants faster than President Biden added them, according to the latest Census Bureau numbers, which show an unprecedented drop in the number of immigrants living in the U.S.
The total number of foreign-born people dropped by 2.2 million from January to July, and most of that 1.6 million was among the illegal immigrant population, said Steven A. Camarota, the research director at the Center for Immigration Studies who crunched the numbers.
It's an almost unfathomable turnaround from the Biden years, when illegal immigrants surged into the U.S. at record rates, netting about 120,000 new people each month.

The new data comes from the Current Population Survey, a monthly Census Bureau report that is used to produce data such as the monthly unemployment figures. One of its questions prods respondents to reveal where they were born, which produces the overall immigration number.
In January, it stood at 53.3 million, an all-time high in sheer number and as a percentage of the total population.
Last month, it dipped below 51.1 million.

Mr. Camarota said the total U.S. population could decline this year, for the first time since the 1930s.
