Legal Immigration from Majority-Muslim Nations Was Cut 96% Since 2024 - News India Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During his campaign in 2016, President Trump repeatedly proposed an outright ban on Muslims entering the United States. He then claimed that this policy idea morphed into the travel ban to avoid potential constitutional problems. During his 2024 campaign, he said he would bring back an even stricter ban than the one in his first term. He has succeeded. Data from the State Department through February 2026 show that the Trump administration has cut legal immigration by nationals of 45 majority-Mus
Commentary: DHS Is Adding Another $100K Tax on Hâ1B Visas - News India Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a new proposed regulation today, requiring employers to pay a $103,265 feeâor more accurately, taxâmerely for the right to file a petition requesting an Hâ1B foreign worker. The Hâ1B visa program is the most common way for employers to hire or retain high-skilled foreign workers in the United States because the green card caps are so low and the wait times are so prohibitively long.

Commentary: Can Presidents Exempt People From US Law? - News India Times (opens the original)

Former Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino conjectured that it’s 100 million. The Migration Policy Institute released its latest estimate of the illegal immigrant population recently, based on Census Bureau data, finding that it grew to 15.8 million in 2024. Why did Vance, Trump, French and Bovino feel the
Analysis: Trumpâs New Anti-Legal Immigration Rules Target Students, Spouses of US Citizens - News India Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
July 17, 2026: Today, the Trump administration made public two new rules limiting legal immigration: one, a massive overhaul of the international student visa system; the other, a rewrite of the public charge ground of inadmissibility that will primarily hit relatives of US citizensâoverwhelmingly their spouses and minor children. As I have detailed, Trump had already cut legal immigration far more than illegal immigrationâ2.5 times as much. These two rules will exacerbate that trend.
