A study in Honduras by the Reflection, Research, and Communication Ream found that economic conditions, rather than violence, is overwhelmingly the reason for people leaving the country. This finding helps to refute the Obama Administration's claim that we must admit Central American migrants because they are victims of violence, and are therefore entitled to asylum. Economic migrants don't qualify for that status.

Large numbers of European patriots have taken to the streets in their respective countries to protest the mass migration being forced on them by their elitist anti-democratic rulers. Among the cities where protests have recently taken place are Dresden, Prague, Dublin, and Amsterdam.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has sent a list of questions to presidential candidates asking for their stands on immigration. The first to respond was Donald Trump. He promised to overturn President Obama's unilateral edict granting legal status (amnesty) to five million illegal aliens. He also expressed support for reducing our record-level of legal immigration.

Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Congress that the Obama Administration has instituted a "catch and release" policy which requires release of illegal aliens without having to show up for deportation. Said Judd,“Immigration laws today appear to be mere suggestions. That fact is well known in other countries.”

Rep. John Culbertson (R-TX) has promised to take action against "sanctuary cities," those municipalities which illegally refuse to cooperate with federal enforcement of immigration laws. Culbertson is chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department. He said he will his authority as chairman to cut off grant money from those cities.

In spite of Fox News' reputation as a conservative network, it founder Rupert Murdoch is a supporter of mass immigration and open borders. A writer for Breitbart News reports, "[Donald] Trump has shined a spotlight on one of Washington’s best kept secrets: namely, Fox’s role via its founder Rupert Murdoch in pushing an open borders agenda. . . . Well-concealed from virtually all reporting on Fox’s treatment of Trump is the fact that Murdoch is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the most powerful immigration lobbying firms in country, the Partnership for a New American Economy (PNAE).

Universities and companies use loopholes to hire 100,000 more H-1B workers a year than the official cap of 85,000. Many employers prefer the foreign workers they obtain under the H-1B visa program because they can pay them less than Americans to do middle-class jobs.

A number of European countries are beginning to restrict entry to the great surge of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. As reported in The Washington Post, "Increasingly, nations are taking matters into their own hands, putting up policies aimed at cutting the migrant flow and weeding out all but those most at risk from war. This is taking place amid rising security fears in Europe after the terrorist attacks in Paris by assailants that included militants who disguised themselves as migrants, as well as hundreds of sexual assaults in Cologne, Germany, on New Year’s Eve in which asylum seekers are among the suspects."

In response to the Supreme Court's announcement that it will rule on President Obama's edict granting legal status to million of illegal aliens, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton reaffirmed that this edict is "clearly" unconstitutional. Texas is one of 26 states challenging the Obama's action in court. Paxton stated, "Congress has the constitutional authority to change the law." If the Obama edict is allowed to stand, he maintained, "then any president can come along and change any law and make Congress pretty much irrelevant."
