Over the past seven years, hundreds of thousands of migrants who have entered illegally have swelled the dockets of the immigration courts. Reducing the level of illegal immigration at the Southwest border would reduce the immigration court backlog.
The Honorable John Hostettler, vice president of the TPPF federal affairs initiative, States Trust, joins Parsing Immigration Policy to talk about policies and actions that states can take to secure the border.
Waves of mass migration at the U.S. border, like the country experienced in Del Rio in September 2021, have been replaced by diffused surges of people organized by the Mexican government.
Foreign-born population declined through mid-2020, then rebounded dramatically
An analysis of Census Bureau data from November 2021 shows that the total U.S. immigrant population (legal and illegal) has reached 46.2 million — the highest number ever recorded in American history.
The Center for Immigration Studies recently obtained detailed records on deportations from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, showing a collapse in immigration enforcement under policies imposed by the Biden administration.

A recently released report on the U visa program for crime victims by the DHS Office of the Inspector General is useful in its findings, and is still more helpful by (accidentally) bringing up a basic question: Why should oodles of aliens get a short-term amnesty, with green cards for some, simply because they were crime victims in the U.S.?
Historic border crisis, few interior removals, expansive use of work permits
Today, January 20, 2022, marks one year since Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president. He entered office with an approval rating around 60 percent, which was lower than Barack Obama’s but noticeably higher than Donald Trump’s approval rating upon assuming the Oval Office. Biden has steadily lost the support of the American people since, with most recent polls showing him at 38-42 percent approval, and much of that disapproval is attributable to his administration’s immigration policies.
President Biden probably didn’t mind not being asked a single question about border or immigration issues during his two-hour press conference Wednesday. It’s his weakest issue with the public and was even before his general approval rating tanked. There’s good reason for the public disapproval.
