Vance predicts the pace of deportations under the Trump administration will increase somewhat going forward, citing new ICE resources from the 'big beautiful bill' and recent court wins.
“So, I expect uh that the pace of deportations will increase a little bit.” View on YouTube
ICE deportations and enforcement activity increased substantially through 2025-2026 under the second Trump administration, matching the prediction.
Vance predicts the U.S. will record its first net negative immigration number in roughly 50 to 60 years for calendar year 2025.
“I think in 2025, we will have the first net negative immigration number in about 50 or 60 years in the United States.” View on YouTube
Confirmed: the Brookings Institution found net migration was negative in 2025 (between -10,000 and -295,000), the first negative reading in at least 50 years, matching Vance's specific prediction.
Each self-driving car deployed will displace roughly four driver jobs, and each humanoid/Optimus-style robot deployed in a factory will displace roughly five to six factory jobs.
“For every self-driving car we put on the road, that's four drivers who are going to have their jobs retired. They'll be displaced. For every Optimus robot or humanoid robot that eventually makes it into a factory, that'll be five or six factory jobs.” View on YouTube
No dataset tracks job displacement at this precise per-vehicle/per-robot ratio, so the specific '4 drivers per self-driving car, 5-6 factory jobs per humanoid robot' claim can't be verified or falsified.
