Illegal immigration ticked up in February, with the Department of Homeland Security reporting more than 256,000 encounters with unauthorized migrants. That’s about 13,000 more than in January, though still well below December’s unprecedented 371,000. It marked the worst February on record. Nearly 190,000 of the encounters came at the southern border, and about 141,000 of […]
Mexico filed a brief in a U.S. court Thursday asking judges to block Texas from enforcing its strict new immigration law, saying it’s unfairly frightening Mexicans who live in the state. America’s southern neighbor also said the law, known as SB4, will damage diplomatic relations and business between Mexico and the U.S. “Mexico is deeply […]
FLASH: Just hours after the Supreme Court allowed a Texas law to take effect that gave state law enforcement the authority to arrest people they suspect of entering the country illegally, a federal appeals court issued an order that puts it on hold. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals order came late Tuesday evening. The […]
As an historian, I found it fascinating to watch the Left try to impose new language to describe people in the country illegally. The Left has gradually pushed accepted language away from “illegal aliens” (the term in law), to “illegal immigrants” (the most common term), to “undocumented immigrants” (the Left’s current favorite term), and now […]
A federal appeals court moved late Tuesday to erase a previous order that had allowed Texas’s strict new anti-illegal immigration law to take effect, once again putting it on ice. The three-judge panel acted hours after the Supreme Court had ended its own blockade, clearing the way for the state to start carrying out the […]
Texas can finally begin to enforce its new state law against illegal immigration — but not after a head-spinning 24 hours. Late yesterday, CBS News reported that the Supreme Court allowed a stay on enforcement of SB4 to lapse. Within an hour, the court then reinstated its stay, only more broadly — a signal that […]
Recent polling shows President Joe Biden’s open-border immigration policy is now ranked as the No. 1 or 2 problem facing America — in part because of the havoc in our large cities where the millions of migrants are now residing. Americans are a welcoming and generous people, […]
Last week a federal district judge ruled that a Texas law scheduled to go into effect on March 5 is unconstitutional and it violates prior Supreme Court rulings that put the federal government in charge of immigration laws and restrictions. Senate Bill 4 was halted by U.S. District Judge David Ezra. When the ruling was […]
Texas has won a legal skirmish in its efforts to make it a state crime to be in the country illegally. On Saturday, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order countermanding a U.S. District Court judge’s decision that issued a preliminary injunction to block a Texas law allowing […]
By hinting that he will use executive power to crack down on mass illegal immigration for the first time in his administration, President Joe Biden is admitting that he already has the necessary authority to do so. This completely undercuts his attempt to blame Republicans in Congress for not giving him additional laws, money, and […]
