The Center for Immigration Studies recently reported, based on an analysis of the government’s Current Population Survey, that the immigrant population (legal and illegal) declined by 2.2 million from January to July – including an estimated 1.6 million drop in the number of illegal immigrants.

Today’s report supports the conclusion that the decline in the foreign-born is real.

A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies reveals how counting noncitizens when drawing districts for state legislatures skews representation, giving disproportionate political power to voters who live in areas with large noncitizen (and thus non-voting) populations.

Many people, including, surprisingly, those whose occupations might bring them into contact with federal officers who enforce immigration laws, don’t seem to have a clear notion of how removal proceedings4 against an alien take place, and exactly what “due process” means in that context.

This report describes the enforcement actions that take place prior to, and that result in initiation of, removal proceedings, one form of which is a hearing before an immigration judge.

In response to President Trump’s signing of two major immigration actions on Friday, the Center provides history, analysis, and recommendations for additional reforms to protect American workers and to benefit the U.S. taxpayer.

The Center for Immigration Studies hosted another in its Immigration Newsmaker series with a conversation with Michael Banks, Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol.
