    Legal Immigration from Majority-Muslim Nations Was Cut 96% Since 2024 - News India Times (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    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 H‑1B Visas - News India Times (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a new proposed regulation today, requiring employers to pay a $103,265 fee—or more accurately, tax—merely for the right to file a petition requesting an H‑1B foreign worker. The H‑1B 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. It is not a fee because it is not a charge for a

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

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    After the Supreme Court struck down his first order restricting birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara, President Trump signed a new order on August 6. At first blush, the new order seems like only a blatant attempt to ignore the Supreme Court. That might be true, but there’s an alternative reading that is more bizarre and potentially frightening: The president might believe he can unilaterally decide whether US law applies to any particular person or groups of people. The entire order rests

    Trump Says There Are 25 Million Illegal Immigrants. That Makes Mass Deportation an Even Worse Idea - News India Times (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    A much more sensible approach is to fix the legal immigration system. President Donald Trump claims it’s over 25 million. Texas Railroad Commission candidate Bo French put it at 50 million. 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: Trump’s New Anti-Legal Immigration Rules Target Students, Spouses of US Citizens - News India Times (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    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 citizens—overwhelmingly their spouses and minor children. As I have detailed, Trump had already cut legal immigration far more than illegal immigration—2.5 times as much. These two rules will exacerbate that trend.
