Federal Reserve Study Connects Illegal Immigration to Housing Affordability Crisis

By: John Solomon | Just the News Paper creates first ever calculation of how a wave of 7 million illegal immigrants from 2021 to 2024 affected local labor and housing markets. Anew Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas working paper estimates the record surge in illegal immigration during the Biden administration boosted employment while causing 30% of home price increases and 20% of rent increases. The paper combined immigration court records with government administrative data to create the first ever calculation of how a wave of 7 million illegal immigrants from 2021 through 2024 affected local labor and housing markets.

Davis Blasts Supreme Court Birthright Ruling Calling it a Betrayal of the Constitution

By Mike Davis | Commentary, Fox News Roberts and Barrett joined three liberal justices to block Trump's executive order under the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court just delivered its most disastrous ruling in generations in Trump v. Barbara. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to block President Donald Trump's executive order and hand over birthright citizenship to the children of tens of millions of illegal aliens and birth tourists from China and other enemy nations. The majority ruled that the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War to give former slaves equal rights, mandates citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil, even if they entered illegally, even if they’re a foreigner who hates...

DHS Targets Lawyers Accused Of Filing False Asylum Claims

By: Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist ‘It is standard practice for immigration attorneys representing illegal aliens to assert that virtually every illegal alien is going to be persecuted or tortured in his or her home country.’ The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is starting to dismantle the legal industrial complex pushing for mass migration by cracking down on immigration lawyers who file fraudulent asylum claims. DHS directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Tuesday to develop policies to go after the attorneys who aid and abet illegals obtaining legal entry and status in the United States fraudulently, under a law already establishing penalties for document fraud. DHS said that ICE attorneys will have “greater authority to enforce the...

GOP Lawmakers Push To Bar Illegal Immigrants From US Banking System

By Pedro Rodriguez | The Daily Signal FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Citing concerns that access to financial services incentivizes illegal immigration and could aid terrorism, Rep. Keith Self, R‑Texas, introduced legislation Thursday that would bar illegal aliens from the U.S. banking system by requiring banks to collect customers’ citizenship or immigration status. “Access to America’s financial system is reserved for those who respect our laws—not for illegal aliens who break them,” Self told The Daily Signal. “Those who enter illegally should not be rewarded with taxpayer‑backed banking services. This legislation draws a hard line: If you are here illegally, you will not have access to our financial system.” The bill would prohibit covered financial insti...

Trump Citizenship Order Gains Support From Unexpected Data Source

By Misty Severi | Just the News The Supreme Court is weighing the legality of Trump's executive order that looks to end birthright citizenship and "birth tourism," which the administration argues “rewards illegal immigration." President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship could be stronger after a recent study from the Pew Research Center found 9% of births in the U.S. in 2023 were to illegal migrants.  The Supreme Court is weighing the legality of Trump's executive order that looks to end birthright citizenship, which the administration argues “rewards illegal immigration."  Trump imposed the order last year as a means to deter pregnant tourists from having their babies i...

DIGNITY Act debate: What’s in the bill raising concerns on amnesty and enforcement

By Brianna Lyman | Commentary, The Federalist I read the bill. And frankly, it might be worse than just amnesty. Despite President Donald Trump winning on the promise of “mass deportations,” a handful of spineless Republicans, alongside Democrats, are trying to push a mass amnesty act known as the DIGNIDAD Act — or, for English speakers, the DIGNITY Act. The legislation is billed as not being amnesty, but would give millions of illegal aliens — both so-called DREAMers/DACA and non-DREAMers/DACA — a legal status. But co-sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., insists it’s not amnesty, so much so that she’s screaming at people on X to “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” So I read the bill. And frankly, it might be worse than just a...

Federal Immigration Law Remains Untested Against Sanctuary Policies

By Just the News Contributor | Just the News DOJ has recently signaled interest in using the law – § 1324 – more aggressively. But as of early 2026, no prosecution of a sheriff or comparable official for detainer noncompliance has gone forward. A federal law on the books makes it a crime to harbor or transport an illegal alien – punishable by up to a decade in prison. But the Justice Department has never used the law against the local officials and organizations most visibly defying federal immigration enforcement, despite years of escalating conflict over “sanctuary” policies. Across the country, cities, counties and states have adopted measures that limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under so-called "sanctuary" policies, local law enforceme...

Supreme Court Signals Doubt On Trump Push To End Birthright Citizenship

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News “Birthright citizenship has been the rule for a very long time,” Justice Elena Kagan said. The Supreme Court on Wednesday mostly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's argument to end birthright citizenship for babies born to parents who are not U.S. citizens. Solicitor Gen. D. John Sauer argued Wednesday before the high court, with President Trump in attendance, that birthright citizenship “rewards illegal immigration” and urged the justices to rule that the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants should not be deemed as citizens at birth, the Los Angeles Times reported. Most of the justices, on the 9-member bench, said the Constitution had been interpreted for more than a century to gra...

What’s missing: Questions raised about immigration details in Colorado crime coverage

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Free State Colorado: our local media ignores the fact that a sex offender is here illegally In a funny coincidence I noticed a couple of stories, one national and one local, about essentially the same topic. They’re both about how the media has a problem with selective attention.* In particular to the two different stories, it’s how the lefty media ignore the illegal immigrants do in this country. The first link below is to a Fox News op ed about this topic, spurred (though not limited to) the murder of Sheridan Gorman in Chicago by an illegal immigrant. Especially noteworthy was just how little—see the image heading this post—time the big networks devoted to her murder and the man committing it. Closer...

Minnesota Elections Official Acknowledges Noncitizens Could Cast Ballots Under Current Process

By Joseph Chalfant | Townhall We have been told for years that there is no need for stricter identification requirements in American elections. The Left has claimed that our elections are secured, and that the Right has simply lied about the issue, or they want to put up restrictions on women or minorities voting by instituting measures to prove citizens and identity before casting a ballot. When put on the record, it seems that those on the Left are finally telling the truth about the matter: illegals are easily able to vote in American elections. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2033166704402944392?s=20 READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL
