In an April 2024 interview with Time magazine, former President Donald Trump promised that, if re-elected to office, he would target "probably 15 million and maybe as many as 20 million" unauthorized aliens for deportation. On July 17, at the Republican National Convention, that promise was highlighted by Tom Homan, who had served as Trump's Acting Director of U.S. Customs and Immigration […]
One area in which the media narrative of the noble immigrant who is never wrong but can only be wronged is most evident is the coverage of the so-called Dreamers. Even using that advocacy label skews the perception and coverage of the issue of illegal aliens who came here at a young age. The original […]
The New York Times and Siena College released their latest poll over the weekend. It showed that among Kamala Harris supporters, 62 percent said they were “almost certain” to vote, while among those supporting Donald Trump, only 58 percent were “almost certain” to vote. That four-point gap in intensity reflects a challenge the Republican candidate faces in […]
The sensational media dispute over Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and the nitpicking over individual anecdotes from that town is obscuring a far more important reality. Whatever else we know, it is a documented fact that the Biden-Harris Administration is complicit in a multinational effort, aided by major NGOs and U.N. organizations in collusion with […]
Most professional analyses of the September 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump indicate that Harris “won” the debate. But does that mean that Harris “won over” enough voters to secure victory in November? Good question, because CNN held a snap poll following the debate, and the takeaways are surprising, to say the […]
The Aspen Institute was founded on the conviction that a better society requires better leaders who are more self-aware, more self-correcting, and more humane. Over the past seven decades, the Aspen Executive Seminar on Leadership, Values, and the Good Society has established a track record of challenging participants from diverse backgrounds to evolve into better […]
Acontroversial foreign-labor program developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and managed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is creating an incentive for employers to hire foreign students rather than U.S. citizens or permanent residents while potentially costing the Social Security and Medicare programs over $4 billion in lost revenue every year. The […]
Numerous press outlets have taken great pains to counter claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is or ever has been the “border czar”, contending instead that her migration portfolio simply involved the “root causes” of illegal migration from the three “Northern Triangle” countries of Central America: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Those same outlets have been circumspect […]
The Census Bureau today released the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS), which shows a total foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) of 47.83 million in July 2023 — an increase of 1.65 million compared to the 2022 ACS. The size of the foreign-born population and the year-over-year increase are the largest the survey has […]
When the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) released its latest study of tax payments made by illegal immigrants, some advocates were notably excited, including a labor union and a former Labor Department secretary: https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1821640802067464526&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcis.org%2FRichwine%2FTax-Payments-Illegal-Immigrants&sessionId=5adb9311e34390749f9476e006b11151742cf680&siteScreenName=CIS_org&siteUserId=95480831&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=550px https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1820599419848311191&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcis.org%2FRichwine%2FTax-Payments-Illegal-Immigrants&sessionId=5adb9311e34390749f9476e006b11151742cf680&siteScreenName=CIS_org&siteUserId=95480831&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=550px Even leaving aside the labor movement’s self-defeating embrace of mass immigration, the enthusiasm for this study is difficult to understand.

Progressive Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday and called for “comprehensive immigration reform” — including a “pathway to citizenship”, i.e., amnesty, for 11 million illegal immigrants. She then said the quiet part out loud, admitting that a President Kamala Harris “will work with Congress to get that done.” This Democratic […]
