Public charge rules were put into law in 1882, yet left loosely defined and little enforced ever since. It wasn't until Trump I that it had expanded.

Now, with Trump II, public charge is being unleashed, from the 75-country visa freeze to this upcoming status adjustment squeeze. The Trump admin continues to do things that have never been done before, a long list.

Trump admin is deporting people to third countries at a rate never seen before, more frequent than any other admin. Over two dozen countries have participated so far.
Liberia has accepted a Third-Country deportation deal to take more than a thousand non-liberian foreigners from America.

Axios, CNN and other outlets report that the U.S. has had effective control of the Hormuz Strait for months, transporting 10 million barrels a day through it's own American-run shipping corridor near Iran, mitigating the biggest downside of the conflict without escalation.

After President Trump's successful raid of Venezuela, seizing the leader Maduro and turning the state into a partner ally, America now takes about half of the oil output produced by Venezuela.

Naturalization is plummeting to historic lows under the Trump admin. In Northern Illinois, naturalizations have already fallen by over 75%.

The ACLU is afraid β€˜The Trump admin has gutted the existing legal pathways to citizenship, while it actively tries to denaturalize people’.

The Trump admin is currently pushing naturalizations down to proportions not seen in most of our lifetimes.

ICE has begun deporting Haitians who have had their TPS terminated. β€˜One of the largest removal flights’ seen so far carried well over one hundred Haitians back home, per WaPo.

Immigration advocates say ICE arrests, detentions and monitoring of former TPS holders are on the rise in recent weeks.

There are now 2,365 local and state law enforcement agreements with ICE under the 287(g) program, a 1,650%+ increase since Trump returned to office β€” 70x higher than when Obama left office.

ICE partners now cover a third of the country, in the largest immigration deputization for mass deportations. 287(g) officers in red states allow ICE, Border Patrol and other federal agents to put more resources into blue states and uncooperative jurisdictions, expanding our effective enforcement coverage.

Jason Arday was anti-White and spent his career calling promoting anti-White conspiracy theories, calling for the "decolonization" of the West, attacking European history, etc.
A Trump Ambassador has come out in defense of Nathan Confas, who was recently suspended by a university in Belgium for earnestly calling out black academic-fraudster Jason Arday.

β€œDishonest, corrupt institutions that engage in, or reward, scapegoating mob behaviour are not desirable partners for us. This is particularly true where the purpose and effect of the scapegoating is to punish accurate journalism unearthing academic dishonesty.

β€œWe are therefore reviewing any relationships we have with Ghent University … The ultimate purpose of freedom of speech is to overturn lies, fraud and false ideologies. This is precisely what Cofnas was doing, and precisely the reason his home institution wants to silence him.”

Thanks to our growing list of diplomatic third-country deportation partners, the U.S. can deport anyone anywhere if they choose to resist repatriation. A group of deportees tried to refuse deportation to Liberia, so they were dumped in another part of Africa.

President Trump is now restricting and reducing all legal immigration categories.
While influencers and the easily misled insist Trump is doing nothing on immigration, all reports and data prove the Trump admin is the toughest on immigration since 1924.

My friend Policy Puppet on Twitter, @ is sock_puppet1787, is working on a website to archive a sample of the wide array of executive action Trump is taking against mass migration, legal and illegal: https://immigration-action-tracker.pages.dev/

Across the board, Trump is doing more than any prior president to control and curb immigration. He has induced the greatest effort of reduction and removal β€” as cited in the hyperlinks β€” on record.

With record-breaking levels of interior enforcement, the strongest border and widest restrictions on lawful entry in history, this is the first executive war on mass migration. A better Republican Congress and continued Trump-aligned White House will take this even farther.

The Trump admin is moving to make its $100,000 entry fee on H-1B permanent, refusing to back down after a court ruled the fee is 'illegal'.

This is the latest in a series of moves to constrain legal immigration programs that cannot be directly ended by the Executive Branch.

Recently the admin made final another fee that would hit H-1B extensions and L-1 transfers, and proposed ending the generous H-1B grace period.

Bloomberg says this $100,000 fee would apply to H-1B holders inside the U.S. too β€” those subject to the statutory cap β€” a massive escalation and expense for foreign workers, especially from India.

Trump's ICE arrested more than 1,300 aliens in the Virginia and Maryland area alone, within 2 weeks, marking one of the largest single-effort arrest totals in DHS history.

Postmaster General says the Postal Service will not deliver mail-in ballots to states that resist the voter transparency requests of the Trump administration; USPS will cooperate
SCOTUS has cleared the way for Trump to enforce its election integrity effort with USPS and the DOJ, restricting mail-in voting and Democrat vote fraud ahead of the midterm elections.

The Trump Admin is reportedly preparing to revoke 'up to 200,000 foreigners' visas', which would be the largest revocation in U.S. history.

From 2001 to 2015, the U.S. revoked only 122,000 visas within 14 years. The Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas within 18 months. Reaching 200,000 or adding an additional 200,000, either way, is a huge escalation.
