Foreign-born population plunges by 2.9 million under President Trump (but incl. naturalized citizens, green card holders)

Good news! Bravo! However, these numbers include not only illegal immigrants! How much of it was self deportation?

Still several millions to go to undo the mass illegal immigration under the senile, demented and lifelong pathological liar 46th President!

"The foreign-born population in the U.S. has fallen by nearly 3 million since President Trump returned to office, according to Census Bureau survey data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies.

CIS reviewed figures from the federal government’s Current Population Survey and found that the foreign-born population dropped by roughly 2.9 million between January 2025 and July 2026.

The group estimates that most of that decline came from illegal aliens leaving the country. ...

That category includes naturalized citizens, green card holders, temporary legal residents and illegal aliens. ..."

European Union is Preparing to Admit 40,000 Gazans starting in 2027

Bad news, if confirmed! Is this another example of the suicide of Western culture?

How many of the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank were sympathizers, supporters or even members of the coward mass killers Hamas?

"A working plan is being discussed to facilitate the departure of Palestinian families from Gaza and their reunification with relatives in Europe, according to reports from well-sourced security channels.

Though European Union officials and member states have consistently rejected mass resettlement schemes for Gazans, the reported proposal, which began taking shape around two months ago, envisions an initial framework starting in early 2027 to transfer around 40,000 Palestinians to European countries over several months. Greece, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and, of course, the United Kingdom are cited among the prospective destinations. ..."

The newly proposed fee for H-1B visas is $103,265

Serious stuff!

"The newly proposed fee for H-1B visas, according to a filing by the Department of Homeland Security. The six-figure fee would replace an earlier plan from the Trump administration, which was struck down by courts, to charge $100,000 for the visa. The new fee would need to be paid before the government decides whether or not to approve an application. H1-Bs are the primary pathway for high-skilled foreign professionals to work in the U.S."

"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing to establish a $103,265 fee for all H-1B cap-subject petitions, including those eligible for the advanced degree exemption. The proposed fee would be paid at the time of filing and would be imposed in addition to all other applicable fees or payments.

The proposed fee would generate revenue to recover a portion of the federal government’s costs for administering the lawful immigration system. These costs include adjudication of immigration benefits, fraud detection and national security vetting, systems modernization, records and fee collection operations, immigration court operations, consular visa processing, labor standards enforcement, and interagency coordination. DHS estimates the proposed fee would generate approximately $8.8 billion annually, based on a projected annual volume of 85,000 H-1B cap-subject petitions. ..."

Empfehlenswert! Wie Deutschland eine Bananenrepublik wurde!

Leider benutzt dieser Artikel auch den neumodischen und falschen Begriff Migration statt Immigration! Migranten bleiben nicht, Immigranten schon!

Trump Administration Halts Visa Processing for 75 Countries Over ‘Public Charge’ Concerns

Maybe such a pause is necessary to stem mass immigration and to reform immigration policy!

Other Western countries may also need to review their immigration policies!

"The State Department is pausing immigrant visa processing for 75 countries where immigrants are deemed likely to become a “public charge,” a State Department official confirmed to The Daily Signal.

President Donald Trump’s State Department has directed consular officers to refuse visas starting Jan. 21, while the agency reassesses screening and vetting procedures, Fox News first reported.

The move aims to “prevent the entry of foreign nationals who would become a public charge on the American people.” ...

Consular officers have been directed to deny visas to applicants who they determine are likely to rely on public benefits. Factors for consideration include health, age, English proficiency, finances, potential need for long-term medical care, and past reliance on government aid. ..."

Asylum seekers are good business for hotels in the UK at government expenses

Incredible! Like the population size of a small town in the UK! Whoever had this great idea! Or why did this get out of hand?

And taxpayers, who can not easily afford a vacation are paying for it.

What are hotel room rates in the UK now given this government created shortage of hotel rooms?

Google search result: "The UK government is actively working to reduce the number of asylum seekers housed in hotels, but there are still tens of thousands in such accommodation. In March 2025, there were around 32,000 asylum seekers in hotels. This number is down from a peak of over 56,000 in September 2023."

Chart of the day

The distinction between non-permanent and permanent immigration is important. This change in the ratio shown for Canada over the past 25 years is dramatic.

Unfortunately, a lot of talking heads and ideologues like to confuse migrants and immigrants in daily discourse.

I believe some smaller European countries (e.g. Luxembourg, Switzerland) have a similar ratio like Canada, but going back several decades further than Canada.
