An Appeal To Pragmatism
many holes to fill
It's important to keep in mind the constraints and consequences of being in a leadership position. On immigration, Trump needs help from both Congress—the branch which created the immigration acts of 1965, 1986, 1990, 1991 and a dozen others—and the Courts—the branch that has justified said laws. Totally losing either one with high order proposals, too soon, would isolate the Executive Branch.

The President can restrict, realign and reduce migration, but he needs an Act of Congress—like Calvin Coolidge!—to end it. Passing the Big Beautiful Bill is a necessary first test, if anything. Likewise the President is somewhat careful on foreign relations, and thereby Trade, because going 'too far' can shut opportunities or cause a hissyfit amongst more voters than we're willing to frustrate.

This is the rationale behind deal-making. On that note, we can and should speak out (preferably accurately, not hysterically or dishonestly) to signal what we want to happen.

Over 500,000 migrants who were considered legal under Biden have just received notice that they are now considered illegal and must leave immediately or be removed by force.

The U.S. still admits far too many foreigners and hasn't formally ended birthight citizenship yet
This is by far the actual worst decision the Administration has approved of. The Chinese are untrustworthy, committed to intellectual theft and anti-Western subversion. It is virtually impossible to make a good faith deal with them, needs to be criticised and opposed.

If any Chinese are being allowed* for whatever reason they need to be kept out of all critical fields and put under a maximum of a few thousand, not tens or hundreds of thousands—too big of a risk to let them have large numbers. Ideal policy is zero Chinese.

*America has greater leverage, technically, because we can revoke and remove foreign students at any time for any reason. The risk still is extremely high, knowing their behaviour. I would rather travel ban China, even if it means we never make a deal.

Israel has struck Iran with several bombs, killing scientists and destroying labs, Marco Rubio and the White House respond saying this does not involve the U.S.

A judge tried to block Trump from keeping troops in L.A., another judge blocked that judge for a few days while three other judges review whether it's valid. Moments like this are what make 'authoritarianism' appealing.

Iran has been decapitated, not that I care what happens to them; Trump says they should hurry up and make a deal with the U.S. Good messaging, no need to intervene or waste a war

Lots of reactions to this post today—understandably upset.

I'd call it a non-issue
Washington Post appears to confirm what I suspected, that there isn't actually any change happening and deportations of all migrants, including workers, will continue.

Fixing the world population can be addressed with a mix of heightened remittance tax and mass remigration. A simple remittance tax, as is proposed in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, takes billions of dollars from tens of millions of foreigners—it can weaken the economy of inferior nations and scare home their invasive masses.

A Bill Gates style campaign to spread sterilisation and proper birth control, not feminist per se, could curb the growth. If we had someone of that financial stature and motivation to do so, that is. Cutting off foreign aid more and more overtime will rollback access to vital vaccines, medicines and resources the world saps from us; Remove and Reduce are the two rules to follow.

15hrs later, nothing has happened. (He will move on and pretend something did happen)

The Church is responsible for over a third of the unwanted humans imported to America and the massive refugee‐amnesty effort
Again, the Catholic Church—this time through Pope Leo and his recently appointed Bishop, working with previous Francis-appointed Bishops—seeks to facilitate demographic replacement by siding with foreigners. This policy is a grave mistake. Even after NGOs and USAID are defunded (first wave of DOGE cuts passed yesterday) the Church will have to be financially or politically dealt with directly.
