Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan answered press questions yesterday. Reading the transcript against the media reports reveals a stark contrast between what Homan said, and what reporters claim he said.
After the 2016 election, the theory (widespread after 2012) that demographic destiny would force the GOP to embrace large-scale legalization and immigration expansion has fizzled. The Republican Party and President Trump continue to have internal debates about immigration policy, but they are no longer alone. Pundits and reporters from the center left and beyond are looking at the Democratic Party's "immigration problem" with renewed urgency.
The food processing industry has a history of seeking out desperate workers who will accept lower wages and deplorable conditions. There are not enough foreign workers, they say, to take these jobs...at the wages they are offering.

Bret Stephens of The New York Times penned an op-ed breathtaking in its contempt for the American people. His basic argument is that "so-called Americans" must be replaced by immigrants if America is to survive.
The Census Bureau again found that Texas is leading the nation in population growth. NumbersUSA members know that translates into urban sprawl.

The Center for Immigration Studies released employment data for the first quarter of 2017. The report shows that the labor force participation rate for American workers remains at a low ebb.
There is a 'conspiracy' going on to benefit employers and discriminate against American workers, especially older workers.
Sen. Johnson's guest worker + amnesty bill raises questions about the appropriate role for the states in determining immigration policy, but the line that divides the cheerleaders from the hecklers is a familiar one. Supporters want more immigration; opponents want less.
