Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says the flood of illegal immigrants arriving in the United States on a daily basis is “undercutting” President Trump’s “Hire American” economy by threatening to choke recent wage hikes for America’s blue collar and working class. Trump’s populist-nationalist agenda of increasing immigration enforcement throughout the interior of the U.S. ... - H-1B Fraud and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act

Donald Trump ran on the promise that he would secure our southern border when he ran in 2016. He ran on other things, too — trade, ObamaCare and ending the Iran deal.

Several key Republicans have declared their opposition to President Donald Trump’s order to freeze direct aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, including the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Relations Committee, Rep.

Raising and sustaining higher wages for American workers is impossible as long as the labor pool keeps expanding.

The situation at our southern border has gone from a crisis to near system-wide meltdown. As the president has declared – this is a national emergency.

And ... - Migrants, Democrats Are Shutting Down the Border
Central American migrants are shutting down the U.S.-Mexico border because border officers are forced to process the migrants instead of transport trucks, White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told ABC news on Sunday.
