so much text. have a summary:
The total foreign-born population in the United States, primarily illegal immigrants, declined dramatically from January to July 2025, and this decline likely explains any weak job growth shown by the CES. The CPS indicates a decline of 1 million in employed foreign-born individuals and an increase of 2.5 million workers among the U.S.-born during this period.
