NO CLASS: AG Pam Bondi vowed the Donald J. Trump administration wouldn't allow any state to "treat Americans like second-class citizens." The lawsuit — which names Tim Walz as a defendant — comes just weeks after the DOJ won a similar case against Texas.

This week, the Supreme Court allowed President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship to move forward, partially and tentatively. The Trump Administration announced the expiration of "Temporary Protected Status" for half a million illegal aliens. The anti-enforcement democratic socialist candidate won the Democratic primary in the NYC mayoral race, while the governing Democratic Socialist Party in Denmark called on Europe to restrict immigration. Texas voted to support immigration enforcement; the House Appropriations Committee voted to handcuff it.

All this and more, but first....

We can keep our border secure, if we secure the funding

Customs and Border Protection offered more evidence this week that border security is back: Gotaways are down 98% from their peak in 2023.

If you want to keep it that way for the next few years, tell Congress to pass the immigration enforcement funding in the budget Reconciliation bill (H.R. 1).
Reconciliation is coming

The Senate Parliamentarian ruledthat several provisions in the budget megabill could not be passed through the Reconciliation process, including immigration provisions that would reimburse states for enforcement and restrict benefits for non-citizens. Even if those provisions are ultimately struck, the bill's roughly $150 BILLION for immigration enforcement remains intact. Senate leadership is working toward a vote as early as this weekend.

Should the budget Reconciliation bill get through the upper chamber, the "One Big Beautiful Bill" will return to the House, where we must prevail one more time before sending the legislation (and the funds) to the White House by July 4th.

Nothing is guaranteed in the House, which passed H.R. 1 last month by a single vote, particularly since earlier this week...

House Appropriations Committee voted against enforcement

The House Appropriations Committee marked up the FY 2026 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations bill, including multiple amendments aimed at restricting immigration enforcement. Committee members passed the anti-enforcement provisions by voice vote, so there are no roll calls. They did so at a time when we are beginning to see real progress toward reversing the 2021-2025 border crisis. Preliminary estimates indicate that the number of people remaining in the U.S. illegally has declined by up to one million. The committee's work this week would slow that progress, if not bring it to a halt.

The committee members agreed to amendments that would:
  • Restrict enforcement against any illegal alien who hasn't been convicted of a violent crime;
  • Prevent immigration enforcement at courthouses (where criminal aliens are often located);
  • Discourage immigration enforcement at "sensitive areas," including public demonstrations (such as a march or a rally);
  • Direct DHS to restart President Biden's unlawful categorical parole program for Ukraine;
  • Direct DHS to consider restarting the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for illegal aliens from Venezuela; and
  • Expand blue-collar H-2B and H-2A visa programs to add hundreds of thousands of additional temporary workers.
House Leadership, who are furiously working to secure the immigration funding in the larger Reconciliation bill to HELPimmigration enforcement, will now have to decide whether to advance the amended Homeland Security Appropriations bill to the floor with provisions that HURTenforcement.

Why All These Unnecessary Foreign Worker Programs?

The number of prime-working-age American men who aren't working remains at or near record highs. Nearly 30 percent of non-college workers do not have jobs. Young graduates are facing an employment crisis. High-school graduates ages 18 to 19 with no college averaged an unemployment rate of 14.5% over the past 12 months. Tech layoffs are surging, but H-1B requests are still chugging along.

Lowering immigration need not be partisan

Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary this week to become the front runner in the race for mayor of New York City. The democratic socialist Mamdani wants to cut off all city resources for immigration enforcement; the governing Democratic Socialist Party in Denmark, meanwhile, is calling on all of Europe to further restrict immigration.

"We need new solutions to reduce the influx to Europe and to effectively send back those who don't have the right to stay in our countries," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said this week.

Frederiksen is the leader of the Social Democratic Party in Denmark that has been winning elections for a decade by embracing immigration restrictions to help the working poor and middle class. Keir Starmer's Labour government in the United Kingdom has also vowed to lower immigration.

"Immigration control should not be a partisan issue," my colleague Phil Cafaro writes:
"Citizens on the left of the political spectrum have good reasons to support immigration limits, just like citizens in the center and on the right....
"...Immigration in moderation is a good thing. But excessive immigration, like the levels seen recently in the UK and the US, is not -- particularly if you are concerned about the wellbeing of poorer citizens."

Supreme Court rules on Birthright Citizenship (sort of)

The highest court in the land ruledtoday that the Trump Administration can proceed with Trump's executive order on Birthright Citizenship in a limited fashion, although it left opponents of the policy multiple avenues to continue to block it. The opponents moved swiftly to file class action lawsuits this afternoon.

NBC News reports: "The decision does not address the legal merits of the plan, but only whether judges had the authority to put it on hold across the entire country."

This ruling, while a promising step, does not resolve the problem of granting automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens or tourists. Should President Trump ultimately prevail in implementing his executive order, his policy is not guaranteed to last beyond the next election. For lasting change, Congress must act.

Immigration Crackdown Part II

These fees include a minimum $100 fee for anyone seeking asylum, a minimum $550 so-called “employment authorization application fee,” a $500 fee for anyone filing for Temporary Protected Status, and a $1,000 fee for anyone paroled into the U.S., except in limited situations like medical emergencies or funerals.
