Fact Check: Did All Net Job Growth Under Trump Go to American Citizens?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: Donald Trump (R)


Claim: Under Biden, “migrant workers and illegal aliens got 100% of new jobs,” while under Trump “100% of all net job creation has gone to American citizens.”


Rating: FALSE


Explanation: PolitiFact reports that while native-born employment rose by about 2.58 million during Trump’s term and foreign-born employment fell, federal employment data does not distinguish between undocumented workers and legal immigrants. The “foreign-born” category includes naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, and other legal workers, making Trump’s claim inaccurate.
