NPR finds that over 1.6 million migrants have lost legal status since Trump took office, or are slated to lose it in coming months. This is ‘the largest effort ever’ done to take out ‘lawful’ foreigners.

Federal judge in Washington says Trump is acting within his authority by applying a $100k fee to all new H-1Bs, rejecting the attempt by the U.S. chamber of commerce to stop Trump from applying the high fee.

Murder, vehicle theft, robbery, burglary and property crime are all down this year by 10-20%. Changing the law to put repeat offenders away for good and executing more of criminals would drop the crime rate even more, especially in diverse cities.

Catholic groups make up a majority of the multibillion dollar mass migration industry; bishops and the pope have alarmed about remigration and made requests for mass deportation to slow down. One reason may be that many illegals are Catholic.

New DHS rule slated for 2026 will shut down the ‘fair’ H-1B lottery, replacing it with a weighted system in four levels. The lower levels will see a drop in chance of acceptance, so current and new H-1Bs start to get shut-out from entry level jobs.

President Trump's H-1B changes and legal immigration restrictions are causing serious shifts in the way businesses approach visa sponsorship and application, as the fees and vetting make overall access harder.

One immigration attorney says he has seen a ‘40-50% drop in H-1B inquiries’ and the pipeline for temporary or legal foreigners is drying up in many respects, tho the visa program itself is enduring as part of law.

America is seeing wide-scale and lasting restriction of overall immigration, trending towards reversal; flooded areas are drying. Economic shrinkage and population decline experts say is certain, but demographic correction is ‘possible’ for the first time.

Net immigration is tanking across the states, down 60-90% in many areas. Net migration into California alone has halved. Fresno County for example saw a net 12k migrants come 2024; only 750 for 2025. And births to foreign mothers has taken a hit, down almost 5% from last year.

In the face of record injunctions dealt by federal judges, the 2nd Trump admin has achieved record Supreme Court assists. The suggestion to ignore judges is a transient, insufficient solution. We need systemic, law-changing or court-crushing action. Important for lobbies and law-makers to adopt this framing and think accordingly.

67% of all student loan debt is owed by women and non-Whites take up half of that total. Blacks and hispanics go into default at twice the rate Whites go into default. The people freaking out about this are overreacting and underinformed.

ICE is leaning into residence raids and work sweeps, netting larger everyday arrests than under any previous administration. The shift in tactic and increase in volume means detention must rise; the agency is pursuing contracts to construct massive ‘migrant warehouses’ for holding them.
