A reminder that the official assembly of the Catholic Church in the United States has opposed every single immigration restriction since 1924 and increased its involvement in politics and law after 2024 as a way to impede President Trump. Yet the Conference supported all amnesty as far back as 1965 and 1986 and 1990.

Last year President Trump began dismantling the replacement system, halting aid, resettlement and NGOs alike in sweeping orders.

One of the biggest legal blocs against this effort has been orgs founded by the Catholic Church, USCCB, standing beside the ACLU, AJC, et al.

I'm not making a religious argument or attacking Catholic believers, I'm just making the case for why Trump has a reasonable suspicion or even dislike of the Pope involving himself in politics. It has consistently been harmful when the Church tries to cover policy.

Stephen Miller: This administration opposes amnesty. President Trump has always been clear he opposes amnesty. And you know my own views. ... [Things] don't work if we have to feed, support, educate millions of people from failed states around the world, we have millions of people here on welfare that we must return home. That's the conversation."

President Trump's 2027 budget requests a huge ICE detention boost, again, and funding for domestic counterterror ops against anti-Christian, anti-American, pro-migration, etc. complicit groups and individuals political or otherwise that can be identified as threats, allies of threats or similar problematic positions.

If passed this both would reinforce mass deportations and support the federal antifa crackdown through 2026-2029.

Trump admin agrees to keep flying a rainbow pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument, after removing the banner in February.
Explanation: The Stonewall National Monument was created by Obama, it's been gay since it was created. The Trump admin tried to remove the gay flag, but lawsuits struck that move down as it's considered part of the monument, a gay monument created by Obama. The Trump admin agreed to put it back because they didn't want to keep arguing over it.

Last year the DOJ said Trump has the authority to cancel monuments that are found to be unwarranted or are not really protecting anything. I would use this to cancel Obama's gay monument, because Obama isn't a real president.

President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill made ICE so large that its enforcement wing has gone mostly unaffected by the govt shutdown and repeated lawsuit attempts. ICE under Trump has so much cash that it is effectively shielded from Congress interfering with operations, altho ICE and the DHS deserve much more money to go even harder this year and the years after.

CATO posted an analysis on the early phase of President Trump's immigration crackdown:

Refugee admissions are down by 90%, asylum entry is down 99%, permanent legal immigrants are down 50% or more, H-1B in total is cut at least 25% and 80% to 90% for new applicants. Foreign students down went down 40%, spouses and fiancΓ©/es down 65. President Trump not only has a net outflow of illegals but an increasingly narrow entry for legal migrants 'temporary' and permanent.

H-1B in total is cut at least 25% and 80% to 90% for new applicants
President Trump, the first president to try restricting the H-1B program at all since it was started in 1990, has cut H-1B at least 25% so far and 'new H-1B visas issued' abroad may have declined up to 90%.

Tucker Carlson posted a video scolding President Trump for making a joke about Islam. Apparently it is rude for Americans not to respect Muslims. I thought it was ruder of Muslims to flood our countries,
Tucker Carlson is now projecting the message that Muslims actually love Jesus and are really close friends of Christians, when you ignore all the terrorism and centuries of conflict.

Spain has announced an amnesty program for half a million migrants
Spain has decided to move forward with its mass amnesty plan to offer 500k~ migrants legal status in the country; this move was specifically praised and encouraged by the Catholic Church.
🀬53πŸ‘Ž5✍2
"The regularization effort underway in Spain actually began as a citizen-led initiative endorsed by more than 900 NGOs, including the Catholic Church ...

MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrantsβ€”that this is a suicidal move, the desperate act of a collapsing country. But don’t let them fool you."

PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez of Spain on his plan to offer mass legal status to migrants.
