Trump is waging a silent war on legal immigration
Trump's administration is implementing significant changes to legal immigration policies, focusing on reducing the number of legal immigrants entering the United States. The administration's stance includes a rejection of what it terms 'replacement migration' and a push for 'remigration,' which aims to send immigrants back to their countries of origin. This approach marks a shift from targeting undocumented immigrants to affecting all noncitizens, with reports indicating a drastic cut in legal immigration rates since Trump returned to office.
- ▪The U.S. State Department has expressed objections to global efforts to facilitate replacement migration.
- ▪Trump's policies have resulted in a reduction of 132,000 legal immigrants per month.
- ▪A report from the Cato Institute indicates that legal immigration has been cut more than illegal immigration under Trump's administration.
