Breitbart: Wall Street: Biden's Mass Migration Helped Wireless Companies Score 1.6M Migrant Subscribers Last Year
President Biden's migration policies have reportedly led to a significant increase in wireless subscribers, with analysts noting that 1.6 million of the 8.5 million growth in phone subscribers from 2022 to 2024 stemmed from immigration. Major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile have seen a 20% boost in customer additions due to this influx, particularly in prepaid plans favored by low-income migrants.
Analysts warn that a shift in immigration policy, such as potential deportations under a Trump administration, could negatively impact subscriber growth for these companies. Lobbyists for the wireless industry are reportedly seeking legislative support for spectrum auctions to offset potential losses in customer growth from reduced immigration.
