The UnWoke Show Season 4, Episode 149: The Great American Exit: "Why Thousands are Fleeing the Cities and Where the 'New America' is Being Built"

In 2025, the United States may have experienced something almost unthinkable: net-negative migration meaning more immigrants left the U.S. than arrived, for the first time in at least half a century. On this episode of The UnWoke Show, Tim and Rich break down what this shift really means, why it may be happening, and why the political class and media seem terrified to talk about it plainly. Is this about border enforcement and deportations? Visa slowdowns? Economic uncertainty? Culture and safety? Or is America’s brand collapsing in real time? We connect the dots between immigration policy, workforce shortages, GDP growth, housing demand, and the reality that if America stops growing, everything gets more expensive and more unstable.   Show Notes https://www.brookings.edu/articles/macroeconomic-implications-of-immigration-flows-in-2025-and-2026-january-2026-update/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/01/13/trump-immigration-economy-net-negative-migration/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://apnews.com/article/immigration-trump-census-population-growth-baby-boomers-7470b270a004ae779518722488de58d4 https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/08/21/key-findings-about-us-immigrants/?utm_source=chatgpt.com   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop Feedback [email protected]
