The number of migrants approved for citizenship dropped by roughly 50 percent amid the pro-America review process set by Donald Trump’s agents at the Department of Homeland Security.

The reduced inflow of migrants will pressure companies to raise wages and increase investment in productivity-boosting workplace technology. The decline will also cut housing costs, helping Americans to get married and raise kids.

With the courts that will never be easy or numerous enough.

When did we morph into "We are only going to deport violent criminals." I know Trump tried to calm some with the violent out first stuff, but illegal is illegal.

It's a long game. And conservatives have to go with it.

This is unfortunately the problem. Because of all the shite that has to be undone, it can only be a long game.

And they only have to wait him out. Unless more Rs continue the America First attitude and hold off the vipers.

Good. This is part of the reason the court system is so backed up.

Personally, I'm all for stopping ALL immigration for a short reset period. And a part of that is the lefts reaction to the administration trying to fulfill its biggest campaign promise.

It’s definitely both. There are so many people here “legally” for bullshite reasons.

We need to take care of our own.

I just got off a plane earlier and the analogy fits: We need to put our own mask on before we put the mask on other countries.

Get our house in order and then we can talk about taking other people in (legally and SELECTIVELY)

They should really work to increase legal immigration and offer fastrack incentives to legal immigrants who assist in rounding up illegals for deportation.

Why does it matter? Illegals are still getting benefits and voting. Who gives a frick about their technical status?

How? If you raise wages, and don't use illegals, paying them under the table, just how will housing cost less?

I know an active duty soldier who’s mother and cousin were arrested in NYC for being undocumented.

Meanwhile he has to continue to soldier and serve his country, while that same country has his family in a pen somewhere he doesn’t even know. His mother doesn’t speak good English.

You must hate that the president and VP have minorities as wives.
