Another wise move to end the connection between illegal immigration and Fraud!

 

Trump Admin Targets Big Immigration’s Legal Industrial Complex

By: Breccan F. Thies May 27, 2026 thefederalist.com

 ‘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 law.”

“For many years, millions of illegal aliens have committed fraud in our immigration system. No place is this more rampant than in immigration court,” DHS General Counsel James Percival said. “Protection claims like asylum are intended to cover unique and narrow circumstances, but 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 move is in line with other Trump administration attempts to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for certain groups, but will ostensibly make it more difficult for migrants to successfully gain entry into the United States using pro-immigration lawyers coaching them on how to make false claims. Under such guidance, aliens often assert that their lives are at risk in their home country, when they are nothing more than economic migrants looking to take American jobs and access welfare programs.

As The Federalist reported, 54 percent of all immigrant households are on at least one welfare program, and 59 percent of illegal immigrant households are on welfare. Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), explained that “because claims are so hard to prove, asylum will always be one of the most fraud-ridden parts of the immigration system. Limiting such fraud is especially important because asylum represents a surrender of a portion of our sovereignty, since foreigners can sneak into our country illegally and demand asylum, and if they qualify we are bound by international law to let them stay.”

It is not just that the asylum claimants gain access to the country, however. As America First Legal (AFL) stated, “the vast majority of aliens who apply for asylum, including those who entered the United States illegally, do so because it triggers access to work permits that effectively function as multi-year employment visas.” AFL recently submitted a public comment supporting DHS rulemaking that would stem the flood of migrants fraudulently claiming asylum to obtain work permits.

Immigration courts, and the lawyers who advocate for mass migration, are part of the behemoth apparatus of world migration from the Third World into Western civilizations, commonly known as “replacement migration.”

“The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations,” the U.S. State Department wrote on May 11. “Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration — not replacement migration.”

The Trump administration appears to have lost trust in the discretion of immigration courts, as Percival emphasized in his comments on Tuesday: “Historically, ICE has depended on the discipline of immigration judges and the enforcement of criminal fraud laws to deter this conduct, but ICE has its own tools.”

The Trump administration has also worked to revamp the legal infrastructure propping up the influx of migrants by surging hiring of immigration judges in order to be able to process proceedings more quickly. While it is likely to relieve the bottleneck of immigration cases, the surge will also allow the Trump administration to pick judges who are not going to bypass the law in order to maximize the number of immigrants entering the country.

According to CIS, Trump’s second term has already achieved a reduction in the backlog of cases for the first time in 17 years, but there are still millions to adjudicate.

The DHS effort to rein in immigration lawyers committing fraud comes after Trump issued a memorandum in March 2025 recognizing that “the immigration bar, and powerful Big Law pro bono practices, frequently coach clients to conceal their past or lie about their circumstances when asserting their asylum claims, all in an attempt to circumvent immigration policies enacted to protect our national security and deceive the immigration authorities and courts into granting them undeserved relief.”

 

This post describes an interesting analogy about young people and crime and efforts of law enforcement.

 

Violent crime and demography

When we look at the data and identify the most common perpetrators, what does that mean for us in the context of mass importations of angry young men from violent nations?

Bill Ponton | May 27, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

What drives violent crime in society at large? First, we must establish a measure of violent crime. One reliable measure of violent crime is the homicide rate, simply because a dead body is a great indicator. The next question to ask is who would be most inclined to commit violent crime and murder? The answer seems obvious. It is young men in the prime of their life, ages 15–30. In fact, there exists a strong correlation (R2 = 0.67) between the percentage of a population in the 15–30 age bracket and the homicide rate (see Figure 1).

Figure 1

The percentage of young men in a population seems to be the dominant driving factor, but it does not fully explain the violent crime trend. Another factor is violent crime enforcement. A good measure of that is the number of police per capita. However, I was only able to gather a measure of it back to 1992.  Starting in that year, one sees the number of sworn officers per 100,000 residents rise, level off in the ‘00s and then decline after 2010 only to rebound a bit after 2015 (see Figure 2).

Figure 2

The increase in policing was a result of public outrage to the prior period of violent crime from 1970 -90. It is difficult to determine if the additional policing or the decline in the percentage of the population between age 15–30 was responsible for the precipitous drop in violent crime in the ‘90s. More than likely, it was a combination of the two factors. Additionally noteworthy is the spike in the homicide rate in 2020 attributable to the “defund the police” craze in the wake of George Floyd’s drug overdose death while in police custody.

So, it is only natural to ask, “What happens when our country imports a large number of young men from distant cultures?” Apart from some charming customs that they may impart to our culture, if one accepts my earlier reasoning, they will also bring a spike in violent crime.

 

Judges and Lawyers 'decide' on most everything or they put it in the hands of someone else to make the decision.

 

Supreme Court backs Trump over speech limits on immigration judges

The justices did not rule on the merits of the case, but merely reversed the lower court decision and sent it back for additional proceedings.

By Ben Whedon justthenews.com 5-26-26

The Supreme Court on Tuesday handed the Trump administration a win by reversing a lower court ruling against a requirement that immigration judges seek official approval before giving speeches in their official capacities.

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals last year intervened in light of President Donald Trump's firing of several agency heads responsible for hearing complaints, Reuters reported. The policy stems from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees roughly 750 immigration judges.

The justices did not rule on the merits of the case, but merely reversed the lower court decision and sent it back for additional proceedings.

Nevertheless, the decision is a win for Trump, who has faced considerable judicial scrutiny over his immigration enforcement efforts and plans for mass deportations.

 

A very interesting post to set your mind on a different level of thinking.

 

IQ, Crime, Nobel Prizes, And Immigration: The Diversity That Is Destroying Western Civilization

 

Like water, culture — if it’s not protected — will flow to the lowest point until equilibrium sets in.

Vince Coyner | May 27, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Sometimes data or information that seems completely disconnected can tell a story when taken together.  I experienced that recently.  Over the course of a few days I saw a number of posts on X that caught my attention.  First was a post stating that “Whites make up only 8% of the world’s population… so in fact, we are the minority.”  That 8% is down from a peak of approximately 25% in the 19th century.

Next I saw a post that featured a map of the world and showed the average IQ of the citizens. Hong Kong had the highest, with 107.7 while Somalia had the lowest 83.8. Both nations are largely homogeneous while the very diverse United States comes in at 101.  Generally sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest scores while eastern Asia has the highest.

Then I saw a post about Denmark and who commits crimes based on their nation of origin.  The data wasn’t pretty.  In every category from rape to attempted murder and everything in between, foreigners were far more likely to be the perpetrators than Danes.  Rape gives you an idea of exactly how the data played out:  Somalis were 20x more likely to commit rapes than Danes.  Syrians, 16x, Palestinians, 12x, Afghans, 11x, and Iraqis, 9x.  Somalis were 27x more likely to attempt to commit murder as well.

Then finally I saw a post that listed Nobel Prize winners by nationality.  The United States had by far the most, with 425, followed in second place by the U.K. with 114.  Of the 15 nations with the highest number of prizes, only one, Japan at #7 with 33, is the only one not from a largely white western nation. Of the one thousand or so prizes awarded since 1901, approximately 85% went to white males, 10% to women, 5% went to Asians, 2% to Latin Americans, and 1% to blacks. 

At this point I’ve got these disparate bits of information in my head, but nothing is quite clicking, but I’m certain there is something to be discerned. Then I realize I’m reading all of this on the backdrop of Europe and the rest of the West being invaded by people coming from the very nations that are on the bottom of those IQ score charts.  I say invaded, but in reality it’s more like the doors are being flung open by the globalist elites in Brussels and Washington.

Now of course, it has to be said that IQ scores are but one measure of a person.  Indeed, having a high IQ score doesn’t guarantee that someone is going to be a good or successful person. Both Ted Bundy and Ted Kaczynski were said to have IQs of approximately 136 while Mohammed Ali, known for his dazzling verbal agility, scored a 78.

Nonetheless, on a national scale there is a rather strong correlation between IQ and the wealth of a nation.  Which makes one question why the leaders of Western nations have been so adamant, for so long, that they must allow unfettered immigration from so many low IQ nations where the populations do not share the most fundamental of Western values?

The folly of such policies is legion.  Across Europe we read almost daily about women and children being raped by “migrants,” not to mention churches burning and no-go zones where police fear to enter.  Across the United States, in addition to blatant fraud, a majority of immigrants are recipients of government largesse and basic services like schools and hospitals are overwhelmed.

The reality is, “diversity” for diversity’s sake is never, ever, a positive for Western civilization.

Now, of course the left will cry that not everyone from Somalia or Afghanistan or Nicaragua has an IQ in the eighties, and even if they did, they deserve an opportunity to better their lives.  Both statements may be true individually, but neither suggests why the West should open its doors to them in aggregate. The reality is, there are members of any group who perform — or in this case score on an IQ test — better than the majority of citizens of their countries.  And while it might be nice to identify and offer such people entry, that’s not how it works.  In both Europe and the United States, for far too long the borders have simply been erased and tens of millions of third world “refugees” have entered, bringing with them the very third-world values that kept their nations from succeeding in the first place.

The reality is, over the last 500 years, almost all of the advances that have come about that have improved the lives of mankind have come from white males living in Western civilizations. This is particularly true since the founding of the United States.  That doesn’t mean that others haven’t contributed or that the white males got or get everything right, because they most certainly didn’t.  But it does make one wonder why the leaders of the civilizations built by that group are so determined to destroy everything that they built in the name of diversity.

If the goal were to improve the lives of the less fortunate around the world, Western leaders would be exporting the things that made the West successful in the first place… Law and order, education, capitalism, the scientific method, limited government, individual freedom, Christianity, and equality under the law.  In general, these are the foundational elements that created prosperity and built Western civilization, and the third world immigrants who are streaming into the West share almost none of them, and few assimilate to them once they arrive.

That dichotomy is a grenade waiting to explode.  The crime chart from the formerly safe Denmark makes that perfectly clear, as does the use of welfare programs by immigrants in the United States.

But of course, it’s not just IQ. Indeed, in the United States we have a program whose applicants dovetail with high-IQ programs — H-1B — but that program is terribly problematic as it sacrifices American workers so that big businesses can import Indians and pay them less for the same work.  At the same time, east Asian nations, with the highest IQ scores in the world, are sorely lacking in the kinds of advances reflected in Nobel prizes, which in turn drive advances and prosperity.

The reality is, Western civilization, for all of its many, many faults, has given mankind most of the things that drive the world today: Automobiles, telephones, airplanes, MRI machines, computers, and much more.  And the world envies it.  How can you tell?  Because millions of people from around the world invade the United States, France, the U.K., Italy, Sweden, and more every year. But how many people do you see paying coyotes thousands of dollars to sneak them into Mexico or Cuba or Somalia or India or Lebanon?  Not many.

As the influence of these third world “migrants” grows, particularly Muslims, the West will find its unprecedented standard of living continue to decline.  High-trust societies cannot import those who have no regard for the cultures of their hosts. Like water, culture — if it’s not protected — will flow to the lowest point until equilibrium sets in.  With whites at 8% of the world’s population and the foundational values that built Western civilization under attack from within and without, that equilibrium is going to look far more like Beirut or Mogadishu or Caracas than it will London or New York or Paris at their peaks.  No, thank you….
