President Trump is doing something the ruling class hasn’t dared in decades: rejecting the false choice between economic growth and national sovereignty.
In a wide-ranging interview with Breitbart News, Trump laid out a bold vision for a low-immigration, high-productivity American economy—one driven not by the importation of cheap foreign labor, but by innovation, automation, and, most importantly, American workers. “We’re going to need robots,” Trump said. “We don’t have enough people to do it. So we have to get efficient … we’re going to streamline things.”
This isn’t science fiction. It’s common sense. And it’s long overdue.
For the past 30 years, America’s political and corporate elites have treated mass immigration as a shortcut to economic growth. But the so-called “growth” they delivered came with a steep price: stagnant wages, overwhelmed infrastructure, cultural fragmentation, and a hollowed-out middle class. As Vice President JD Vance pointed out, “Cheap labor became the drug of Western economies.” It dulled our edge, discouraged innovation, and turned once-proud workers into expendable cogs in a globalist machine.
Trump is offering a better way forward—one rooted in American dynamism, not dependency on foreign labor flows.
This shift is already beginning. In July, data showed a decline in the number of working migrants. “That’s a great number because it means we’re putting Americans to work,” Trump told CNBC. That’s the goal—jobs for Americans, not jobs outsourced to India or filled by illegal laborers in shadow economies.
But this isn’t just about jobs. It’s about restoring the moral and economic foundation of the nation. Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies put it plainly: “Our whole debate needs to get away from this ‘legal good/illegal bad’ dichotomy.” Mass importation of foreign labor—legal or not—depresses productivity and wages. It’s a system designed to benefit corporate boards and political donors, not American citizens.
Contrast that with Trump’s vision: a technology-driven economy that uplifts workers, restores dignity to labor, and fuels long-term prosperity. As Trump noted during his AI policy speech, “Winning the AI race will demand a new spirit of patriotism and national loyalty.” No more tech giants hiding behind foreign workers and offshored profits. No more Big Tech censorship while reaping the benefits of American freedom. “Under President Trump,” he said, “those days are over.”
It won’t be easy. Powerful interests are already pushing back. Wall Street and Fortune 500 CEOs are addicted to cheap white-collar labor, particularly from India. Despite Trump’s efforts, more than 1.5 million foreign graduates still occupy U.S. jobs, crowding out American talent in STEM, business, and healthcare fields. These policies not only cost jobs—they drain our innovation, professionalism, and even national security. Just ask Microsoft, where Chinese engineers recently accessed Pentagon systems with little oversight.
Of course, the media lapdogs are doing their part to shield the status quo. The Washington Post, owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, recently ran an editorial defending illegal migrant labor in agriculture, moaning that “this frontal attack [by ICE] on farmers must end.” In other words, let the law be damned, so long as Big Ag gets its cut.
But here’s the truth the elites don’t want you to hear: high immigration is not an economic necessity, it’s a political choice. And a disastrous one.
Trump is reframing the national conversation. He’s showing that we can grow our economy without sacrificing our sovereignty. That we can have prosperity without open borders. That we can lead the world in innovation without surrendering our workforce to globalist exploitation.
Even globalists like BlackRock’s Larry Fink are starting to admit it. At a 2024 World Economic Forum event, Fink acknowledged that countries with shrinking populations—like Japan and China—are turning to robotics and AI to boost productivity. “If a promise of all that transforms productivity,” Fink said, “we’ll be able to elevate the standard of living … even with shrinking populations.”
Exactly right. America doesn’t need endless immigration to succeed. It needs smart policy, national pride, and a president who puts Americans first.
That’s what Trump is delivering. And it’s why the establishment is terrified.
