President Donald Trump touted the effects of his immigration and economic policies on the American worker on Tuesday.

Trump spoke at a rally at Mount Airy Casino Resort in Pennsylvania, the first stop on a tour touting his administration’s record on the economy as Washington prepares for the fight over midterm elections. At one point, the president highlighted net new job creation numbers and a nexus of his economic and immigration policies.

“Before I entered office, 100% of all new net jobs were going to migrant workers,” said Trump. “Migrant workers and illegal aliens got 100%. But since I took office, 100% of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. How about that?” 

“Now think of it, 100% went to American citizens. Before, 100% went to people that came into the country illegally–again, many of them from prisons, many of them gang members, drug members, Tren de Aragua,” he continued. “More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.”

Later on in the speech, the president credited the growth of new jobs for Americans to his policies that have led to “reverse migration,” or more people leaving the United States than coming in, for the first time in decades in the country.

“For the first time in 50 years, we now have reverse migration, which means more jobs, better wages, and higher income for American citizens, not for illegal aliens,” said Trump.

The president kicked off a rally tour over the economy this week as Republicans seek to rebound from last month’s electoral results in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York. Democrats celebrated victories across a number of local and state positions after running on a message of “affordability.” Democrats also tended to ignore their GOP opponents and run campaigns targeting Trump.

The president has been critical of Republicans over their messaging on the economy. Trump has suggested that Democratic messaging on affordability has been effective because Republicans have not done enough to sell GOP actions on the economy, such as attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, cutting regulations, and unleashing American energy.

A Biden-era health official who identifies as transgender is outraged that the current Department of Health and Human Services has changed his nameplate to showcase his birth name, Richard Levine, instead of his trans-identifying name, Rachel Levine.

On Tuesday, HHS took to X to unapologetically confirm the change, which apparently took place during the Democrat-backed government shutdown.

Levine was upset about the change, calling it “petty” and an act of “bigotry.”

“I’m not going to comment on this type of petty action,” Levine told NPR.

However, he did respond through a spokesperson. “During the federal shutdown, the current leadership of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health changed Admiral Levine’s photo to remove her current legal name and use a prior name,” Adrian Shanker said, calling the change “bigotry against her.”

The current HHS argued that the change better reflects their mission to express “gold standard science” at all times.

“Our priority is ensuring that the information presented internally and externally by HHS reflects gold standard science,” HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said. “We remain committed to reversing harmful policies enacted by Levine and ensuring that biological reality guides our approach to public health.”

During his tenure, Levine claimed the title of the “first female four-star officer” in a video boasting about “diversity” at HHS. He was also widely criticized for his support of so-called transgender “care” for minors, which opponents highlight is often irreversible and damaging to children.

Additionally, Levine seemed to advocate for the censorship of opposing views on the issue.

“There is substantial misinformation about gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals,” Levine said back in May 2022 during a presentation before the Federation of State Medical Boards in New Orleans.

“We need to get our voices in the public eye, and we know how effective our medical community can be talking to communities, whether it’s at town halls, schools, conversations with others, and we need to use our clinicians’ voice to collectively advocate for our tech companies to create a healthier, cleaner information environment,” Levine added.
