Trump claimed “substantially MORE than 100%” of new jobs went to migrants.

Multiple sources confirm that former President Trump asserted that migrants received more than 100% of new jobs created, a claim that is mathematically and factually incorrect. This figure implies migrants took all new jobs plus some jobs from others, which defies basic arithmetic and labor market data. Fact-checking outlets such as Forbes explicitly label this claim as false, noting that official employment statistics show most new jobs go to U.S. -born workers rather than migrants.

Experts cited by Newsweek and PBS explain that migrants often fill roles that are less desired and contribute to job creation rather than simply displacing native workers. Additionally, data from government sources analyzed by Forbes indicate employment growth under the Biden administration included a majority of jobs going to U.S. -born individuals, not migrants.

The Independent and MEAWW News report on Trump's claim as baseless and bizarre, highlighting the implausibility of the '107%' figure he mentioned. Overall, the claim lacks any credible evidence and is contradicted by multiple independent data sources and expert opinions.
