Immigration News

Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly reported that apprehensions of illegal aliens at the border declined 40 percent from January to February. Usually during that interval apprehensions go up, indicating an increased flow of illegal aliens across the border. Kelly attributed the decline to President Trump's executive order which repealed the Obama Administration's policy of releasing illegal aliens who claimed asylum and promised to show for hearings. Most of them didn't. With that access to the U.S. cut off, crossing the border illegally is less appealing.

The Thomas More Law Center has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the state of Tennessee charging that the operation of the  federal refugee program violates the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. It does so, the suit changes, by forcing the state to support a federal program with state revenues. The Refugee Act of 1980 stated that the federal government would cover the cost of refugee resettlement, but within ten years after passage of the act Washington ceased to reimburse any of the costs to states.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a cultural Marxist organization which regularly smears patriotic Americans who stand for immigration law enforcement. Often the corporate media repeat these changes without revealing the SPLC's radical left-wing bias. Recently The Weekly Standard did an expose on the SPLC and the media.

President Trump has issued a new travel ban from countries with links to terrorism. A federal court blocked his previous ban. The new directive differs from the previous one in the following ways: It removes Iraq from the list of countries and removes the indefinite ban on travel from Syria. It does not affect green card holders, and does not offer preference to persecuted religious minorities such as Christians when the travel ban expires after four months. His directive still retains the 50,000 cap on refugee admissions, as opposed to the 110,000 proposed by the Obama Administration.

The corporate media have dismissed President Trump's charge that noncitizens are voting in U.S. elections, but evidence indicates that they are. In Virginia the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILP) states that "based on discoveries to date, thousands of noncitizens remain registered and eligible to vote throughout the Commonwealth." The PILP charges that its efforts to expose fraud face opposition from Edgardo Cortes, the top state election official appointed by Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffle. Before that appointment, Cortes organized voter registration drives for Hispanics. An article in The Washington Times about the PILP's efforts noted the finding from polls that noncitizens "overwhelmingly for Democrats."

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka endorsed President Trump's view, expressed in in speech to Congress, that legal immigration depresses U.S. wage levels. Trumka stated, "This was the first time the president has talked about legal immigration being used to drive down [domestic workers'] wages. We've been saying that for a long time." Perhaps Trumka's statement reflects a changing viewpoint.
