Former President Donald Trump has vowed to take extreme actions to secure the U.S.-Mexico border if he wins November’s presidential election. And that promise is supported by a key voting bloc — Latinos. The most recent Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll shows that the percentage of Latinos who support erecting a border wall and deporting all undocumented immigrants has increased by at least 10 points since 2021. According to the research, even among those who might have connections to immigration, Trump’s calls for increased border security and possibly his anti-immigrant rhetoric are having an impact. The results also illuminate Republicans’ recent gains...

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that his government's plan to deport illegal immigrants from the UK to Rwanda will begin in 10-12 weeks. The plan sparked a lively debate in the UK, which reminded many of the Israeli plan to deport immigrants, until Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 2018 decision to suspend the plan before it even began. At a press conference held by Sunak, he was asked how many would be deported during the summer, but refused to give a number, saying that "there will be many flights throughout the summer."According to the plan, Sunak said that 2,200...

In an interview with WISN 1130 radio host Dan O’Donnell earlier today, former President Donald Trump said “we have no choice” when asked about the possibility of mass deportations if he is reelected. During a potential second Trump administration, deportations would start with criminals. Trump stated: “We are going to start with the bad ones, and the local police will know the bad ones, they’ll know their name, and their middle name, and their numbers, and they’ll know everything, and we’ll be able to work with the local police, but we’ll have no choice.” Trump continued, stating that Joe Biden...

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning. Host Margaret Brennen had asked Secretary Mayorkas if the illegal alien who killed Laken Riley should have been deported. He never answered, but instead deflected the question. Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, was brutally murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens. Biden won’t say Laken Riley’s name either. “Should this man have been deported?” Brennen asked Mayorkas. “One individual is responsible for the murder, and that is the murderer,” Mayorkas responded. “Are you saying there that the Federal Government had been informed about this...

A plan by President Joe Biden, called an “extortion attempt,” would shield more criminal illegal aliens from deportation as data shows his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has drastically cut interior immigration enforcement.

Maybe Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is playing 5D chess and everyone else is simply picking their noses. And maybe picking Oklahoma Senator James Lankford to negotiate on behalf of Republicans was a stroke of genius – he was just reelected in 2022, so any anger he inspires will likely dissipate before he faces voters again. And just maybe McConnell knew that any deal would be unacceptable to Republicans because Democrats want open borders, so he set up this scenario so he could claim to have tried, then will separate out the foreign aid part, which is all he really...
