FACT FOCUS: Trump says illegal immigration increased car insurance premiums. Experts say otherwise

Insurance Donald Trump Immigration Joe Biden United States Michael Clemens White House Covid-19

President Donald Trump this week credited his tough immigration policies for a drop in car insurance premiums, falsely blaming illegal immigration during his predecessor's time in the White House for a prior increase.

In a Monday post on Truth Social, Trump shared a graphic showing the year-over-year change in premiums from 2021 to 2026. It rises sharply from 2021 to 2023 and begins dropping in 2024, culminating with negative growth so far in 2026. The graphic cites a Council of Economic Advisers' analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"Car Insurance Premiums rose to RECORD HIGHS, forcing Law-abiding American Citizens to subsidize the 'free riding' Biden Illegals," the post reads. "After over a year of ZERO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, and our highly successful efforts to REVERSE the Biden Invasion, Car Insurance Premiums have come tumbling down."
