Three U.S. border cities, Yuma, Laredo, Texas, and El Centro, California, have seen a sharpest slowdown in population growth since the start of President Donald Trump's second term and the beginning of his administration's immigration crackdown. The Census Bureau's data covers one year through 2025, covering the period through July 2025. The growth rate in Yuma dropped from 1.3% to 1.4% in Yum, while Laredos, Texas and ElCentro, CA, experienced growth in 2024 due to an influx of thousands of immigrants. The decline in population was attributed to the aging America and declining birth rates, which has been a key source of growth in many communities. The New York metro area also saw a decrease in population numbers due to the decrease in immigrants. Two destructive hurricanes in Florida left behind tens of billions in damage, leading to a -2.2% growth rate decline in Taylor County, Florida. The Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth metro areas were the top destinations for immigrants in 2025, followed by the Atlanta, Phoenix and Charlotte, North Carolina, and Ocala metro areas.
