Steve Moore, former senior economic advisor to President Donald Trump, expressed confusion over Democratic approaches to immigration and economic policy, suggesting that current strategies may be undermining the party’s own interests. Speaking on ‘The Bottom Line,’ Moore emphasized the impact of undocumented immigration on American labor markets and called for a reassessment of Federal Reserve leadership, particularly regarding Chair Jerome Powell’s tenure.
Moore argued that unchecked illegal immigration exerts downward pressure on wages and job opportunities for native-born workers, especially in lower-income sectors. He criticized Democratic resistance to stricter border enforcement, framing it as a misstep that could alienate working-class voters. According to Moore, the administration’s economic messaging fails to address core concerns about inflation, employment, and long-term fiscal stability.
He also advocated for replacing Powell with a monetary policy leader more aligned with supply-side economics, suggesting that current interest rate policies may be stifling growth. Moore reiterated his belief that reducing regulatory burdens and maintaining tax incentives could stimulate broader economic expansion.
While Moore did not provide specific data during the segment, his commentary reflects ongoing debates within conservative economic circles about the Federal Reserve’s independence and the broader implications of immigration policy on labor and public spending.
