The reckoning on immigration is here - by Alex Berenson

Tens of millions of people live illegally on American soil. ICE’s escalating deportations - and the escalating protest response - mean America can no longer dodge a choice about how to treat them. - Alex Berenson
The easy part is over.
Americans wanted the borders closed....
  • President Trump broke with the elite consensus from the first day of his 2016 presidential campaign, when he announced “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border.” 
No issue proved more politically potent for him.
In his second term, Trump has kept his promise...
Customs and Border Patrol reports monthly “encounters” with illegal migrants on the southern border have fallen about 95 percent from the Biden Administration average, and 97 percent from their 2023 peak.
  • But closing the border to new arrivals does not undo the fact that tens of millions of people are living in the United States illegally, or with quasi-legal “asylum” or “temporary protected” status the Trump Administration is now seeking to revoke.
  • Just how many people are inside the United States illegally? 
  • We do not really know...
