I am forever indebted to the anonymous Trump supporter that had a crate of desk calendars shipped to the White House. Knowing what day it is in that turbulent environment is always a plus, but this donor went the extra mile and evidently took time to circle election day in red. I’m convinced that calendar shipment is responsible for the ...

A little over a year ago I wrote about another Trump administration immigration policy failure. Trump wanted to add a census question that asked if the respondent was a citizen of the USA. Adding that question should have been a simple administrative procedure since conducting the census is an executive branch function. But nothing is simple where Trump is concerned. ...

The Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security (collectively, the Departments) submitted a proposed rule change to help immigration officials more effectively separate baseless claims for asylum from meritorious ones.

College Republican chapters across the U.S. delivered a letter to President Donald Trump Friday asking him to roll back two temporary worker programs for foreign nationals.  Amid the economic fallout caused by the coronavirus, students said the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program should be abolished and the H-1B visa program should be suspended. The college leaders said the economy is ...

Immigration advisers in the Trump administration are preparing an executive order that would ban some temporary workers into the United States, according to the Wall Street Journal.  Talk of a new executive order comes after President Donald Trump closed all borders to non-essential traffic and issued an order that limits green card applicants abroad from entering the U.S. The actions ...

Three years into the Trump administration seemed like a good time to evaluate progress on the number one issue for Trump voters: Illegal immigration. Unfortunately progress is nil. There is no wall and no one is paying for it. There is no ‘deportation force’ and Trump hasn’t even made a dent in the 22 million illegals already in the USA. ...

A new analysis finds that immigration will dramatically reshape the Electoral College map in favor of the Democratic Party after the completion of the 2020 U.S. Census. Rising immigrant populations around the United States will result in several solidly Democratic states gaining more seats in the House of Representatives at the expense of solidly Republican states, a new study by ...

(True Conservative Pundit) Recently it was reported that Rashida said that America needs a revolution, that: “We have to make the tough, courageous changes that completely transform a political and economic system that is now built for corporations (and profits), not people.

The number of Mexican nationals refused an immigrant visa to the U.S. has skyrocketed under President Donald Trump, and his administration is preparing to make standards even tougher. The State Department denied a total of seven immigrant visa applications from Mexican nationals on the grounds that they were at high risk of becoming dependent on government services during the 2016 ...

While Democrats and Progressive-Fascists continue to shriek at anything and everything Trump in their preparation for the up-coming election cycle, there is perhaps nothing more pathetic than the unlikely tag-team of Nancy Pelosi, Beto O’Rourke, and Bernie Sanders. Nevertheless, where Trump’s actions regarding Mexican tariffs are concerned, we are entertained by just that. In response to President Trump’s successful, albeit ...

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar suggested on Tuesday that individuals from Latin America would not be competitive if the U.S. immigration system was based on merit. “A ‘merit-based’ immigration policy is fueled toward the Latinx community,” Omar said in a now-deleted tweet. “Our immigration policies shouldn’t be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry.” “We should welcome immigrants to our country ...

Jared Kushner has developed a comprehensive immigration proposal that consists of beefing up border security and shifting U.S. immigration to a more merit-based system.

The package ...
