Church raids may continue. Catholic Churches in particular for assisting and hiding migrants across the West, this is good.

White House Press Sec has announced that all foreign nationals, every single one whether legal or not, must register under the Alien Registration Act or face criminal penalties up to deportation.

Parents must register their children and all law enforcement officers may request proof of legal status; visa holders, asylees and illegals are put on notice. Any illegals that do not self-deport within a month now face fines, felonies, and evading the law.

USCIS purge coming which is another means of slowing immigration; so far the administration has been very restrictive of legal migrants

Edward Alsworth Ross reminds us not to beware foreigners as huddled masses and criminals but rather to look at how they are at their best, in suits and with jobs: ‘They simply look out of place’.

What MAGA was promised
>Mass deportations of 20 million+ illegal aliens from the interior of the United States
>An end to the war in Ukraine and Gaza
>15% across the board tariffs
>Epstein files
>DOGE cutting 2 trillion from the deficit
>Largest tax cuts in history for the middle class
>Other minor things (e.g., Strategic Bitcoin Reserve)
All of this is Work In Progress, as I've been tracking. There is systemic legal and physical infrastructure being developed for Mass Deportation, changes to restrict all legal immigration, the undoing of Civil Rights limitations and DEI. His ongoing Tariff plan (which has a 10% baseline and variation for negotiation or pressure reasons) is not worth arguing over, nobody follows the details well enough.

USAID closing is a big shift in spending and DOGE cuts are hitting social security fraud et al. They were not 'reduced'; Musk said the current findings are 150b by 2026, the full projection is subject to change, let alone by 2029. On taxes, the House has passed Trump's large tax cut framework as of last week. This does not take into account the savings from deep deregulation being done. On the Bitcoin Reserve, that EO is active and government agencies reported to Bessent last week for it.

Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Arabs, nobody is surprised these historically annoying races refuse to cooperate. I'm noticing the past few months has been an endless of stream of people who either cannot read or do not think comprehensively making very dumb critiques. There is plenty to criticise of the current administration, like the endorsement of Vivek or the shabby performance of the FBI, yet few judgments I'm seeing are intelligent. Ubersoy, a Slavic-Jew, has a habit of omitting information or outright lying so I'm not too surprised.

There is systemic legal and physical infrastructure being developed for Mass Deportation, restrictions have been made to reduce legal immigration, not to mention undoing of Civil Rights laws and DEI policies. The Tariff plan is ongoing—its 90 day baseline is 10%, 20% for various resources, the purpose of which varies.

USAID closing is a big shift in spending itself and Musk said the current findings are $150b by 2026, that is not a 'reduction' because it says nothing of what changes might happen from this month and what will be saved by 2029. On taxes, the House passed Trump's tax cut framework last week. And then factor all the deep deregulation being done. Also, for the Bitcoin Reserve, that EO is active. If you read it, government agencies reported to Bessent last week as it ordered.

Furthermore there isn't any "War with Iran" being threatened, people have claimed this for 12 years and it hasn't happened. Russia, Ukraine & Israel, Gaza are ongoing since Slavs & Semites are notoriously annoying races.

Trump never said hardworking aliens can stay, either. He said farmers may vouch for particular workers, e.g. H2B overstays. He said in the video they still must go back home and still must apply for a legal worker visa, after which the Administration may decide to reject or accept them. This has been stated before he was even sworn into office and repeated several times.

And ICE detention + interior removal is the highest in 5yrs+, border crossing the lowest in 20yrs+. Yes it needs to improve and very well will, but lying improves nothing.
