The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a subdivision of the US Department of Homeland Security responsible for safeguarding the nation's borders and facilitating lawful international trade and travel. The agency enforces immigration laws, prevents the illegal entry of goods and individuals, and ensures the security of the US border.
Immigration issues were front and center in 2025. Refugee admissions and border crossing attempts decreased in fiscal year (FY) 2025 compared to 2024. Meanwhile, the number of people in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention was higher in December 2025 than in December 2024.
While it’s true that the GOP establishment in Washington has no real constituency on immigration except the special interests that benefit from cheap foreign labor, it’s unclear whether Republican voters are ready to support a dramatically restrictionist immigration policy.
CBS News introduced viewers to Moussa’s wife and two children, captioning their post on the story on X: “Moussa Diawara says he was deported without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge. He was eventually sent to Mali, a country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to.”
It is that France, the new France, outposts of Africa and the Middle East, that have taken to the streets of French cities in recent weeks. For anyone who cares to be honest, the reason for the rioting and looting is obvious: mass immigration from the Third World.
A Wyoming law passed last year bans sanctuary jurisdictions and forbids local officials from refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials, and Teton County does the minimum: It honors 48-hour jail hold requests from ICE, keeping illegal immigrants arrested for other crimes in custody so federal law enforcement can pick them up.
The law forbids New York’s local governments and law-enforcement agencies from continuing or entering into agreements with the federal government under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1996, and it declares existing agreements void and unenforceable under state law.
Nor is it a coincidence that the record influx of illegal immigrants during the Biden administration coincided with a sharp increase in violent crime. It is equally unsurprising that crime has fallen as deportations have increased. Deportation records show that 70 percent of illegal immigrants deported during the Trump administration had either criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in the United States.
Aside from a few prescient points (e.g., Raspail predicts the appointment of a Latin-American pope who would sell the Catholic Church’s wealth, preach liberation theology, and advocate for the global poor) along with some amusing episodes (e.g., when European NGOs try to help the Armada only to be rebuffed by the migrants, or when a professor shoots down a hippie invading his home), the reader is subjected to rants both for and against immigration and tediously long lurid descriptions of the migrants.
Chris Murphy, D-Conn., thinks the problem Democrats had with immigration was not that they allowed millions of illegals to invade the country, but rather that Democrats’ simply failed to explain to Americans that they should be grateful for living with illegal aliens who apparently make communities safer.
The research conducted by Dr. Jason Richwine, a resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, found that the surge of immigration which started during the Biden administration has direct implications on the affordability of housing in America today.
The real danger is an immigration system that has imported millions of new residents and aspiring leaders (like Mamdani) who seek to fundamentally destroy the republic and replace it with the same kind of failed ideologies found in the very places these immigrants fled.
A few large industries employ millions of illegal aliens. The construction industry employs an estimated 1.6 million illegals, according to the American Business Immigration Coalition, while the hospitality industry (which includes hotels and restaurants) employs another million.
