A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies reveals that the hyperviolent MS-13 transnational criminal gang has spread to 22 U.S. states. The gang accounted for 207 murders, mostly in California, Maryland, New York, and Virginia since 2012. The rapid growth of the gang is attributed in the report to the influx of Unaccompanied Alien Children from Central American countries like El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala.

Immigration officials released more than 100,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) apprehended at the border into the U.S. interior since Fiscal Year 2016.

For decades, researchers and immigration experts alike have warned lawmakers and administrations of the negative impact immigration, both legal and illegal, has on the African-American community.

The United States’ current “chain migration” process, where newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. with them, is likely to add a potential 8 million new foreign-born voters to the country’s electorate over

At least nearly one in seven illegal aliens shielded from deportation by former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program would end up on Medicaid if they were given amnesty, a government report states.

The final version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed Wednesday by the House and headed to President Donald Trump’s desk, will still allow illegal aliens to claim a lucrative child tax credit.

Border Patrol agents in the Texas Rio Grande Valley are saying that processing centers for illegal immigrants are frequently hitting full capacity. The reports from Border Patrol agents coincide with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports about largely increasing numbers of apprehensions illegal immigrants in South Texas.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) says Democrats who support open borders and illegal immigration “have now deified criminal illegal aliens” following the shock verdict in the murder trial of Kate Steinle.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) says he will do his part in honoring 32-year-old Kate Steinle — whose illegal alien killer was acquitted of her murder — by blocking “every form” of amnesty that the GOP-led Congress attempts to push.

Pro-American immigration reformers say “it’s likely” that the five-times deported and seven-time felon illegal alien who allegedly caused the death of 32-year-old Kate Steinle in sanctuary city San Francisco, California, will “come back” illegally to the United States even after being deported.

Border Patrol agents arrested a Mexican national previously deported for a rape conviction in a California county with sanctuary policies.

Border Patrol agents say they are being forced into a catch-and-release situation again because immigration officials do not have room to house the increasing numbers of illegal aliens. The crossing figures have risen each of the past several months.

More than one in five foreign nationals entering the United States by family-sponsored chain migration is 50-years-old or older, imposing massive costs for elderly care on innocent working Americans.

There is now a record level of immigrants living in the United States – standing at roughly 44 million people nationwide – who entered the U.S. both illegally and legally from a foreign country.

The Diversity Visa Lottery program which randomly gives out 50,000 United States visas to foreign nationals across the world is “ideally suited for terrorists,” according to an immigration expert.

As Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) announces that he will not seek re-election to the United States Senate, the open borders lobby is shedding tears as it loses one of its biggest pro-immigration allies in the Washington, D.C. establishment.

President Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) not only previously worked alongside national security establishment figures who aligned themselves with the failed “Never Trump” movement, – she has also been endorsed by members of the defunct group.

President Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, was at the center of a plan that allowed thousands of illegal aliens to come to the U.S. to take coveted American blue-collar jobs from citizens who had lost their livelihood in the historic natural disaster.

A pro-American immigration reform group is coming down hard on President Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Roughly 40 percent of illegal aliens shielded from deportation by an Obama-era temporary amnesty program have no education beyond high school–leaving them vastly more likely to compete with working-class Americans more than any other economic cohort, a study argues.

Center for Immigration Studies Director Mark Krikorian says President Donald Trump’s list of pro-American immigration priorities “make it less likely” that the White House will sign off on any deal that simply gives outright amnesty to illegal aliens.

The vast majority of illegal aliens shielded from deportation through the Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are living in low-income households.

An amnesty for nearly 800,000 illegal aliens shielded from deportation by an Obama-created temporary amnesty program may trigger a never-ending flood of chain migration starting with at least 1.4 million foreign nationals coming to the United States.

Immigration patriots say a White House official’s statements that insinuated that President Trump’s administration favors amnesty for nearly 800,000 illegal aliens in exchange for tax cuts were “outrageous.”

A report from an immigration think tank reveals that “fourth-rate purveyors of higher education” are using immigration law to make millions of dollars while tens of thousands of aliens get student visas and work permits from “visa mills.”

Immigration hawks say illegal alien recipients of an Obama-created amnesty program obtaining Green Cards and even U.S. citizenship was “bound to happen.” They want to see illegal and legal immigration reduced to relieve Americans of the burden.

The Trump Administration is cracking down on foreign countries refusing to take back their citizens when they are deported.

“There must always” be a flow low-skilled immigration to the United States, no matter its impact on American workers, according to Republican establishment figure Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ).

A controversial visa program that ultimately allows wealthy foreign nationals to promise investments in the United States in exchange for U.S. citizenship would end if Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) and Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) legal immigration overhaul is enacted.

Less than one percent of Guatemalan nationals come to the United States to escape gang violence in their native country, a new report claims.

An immigration think tank released a report that concludes it is more cost-effective to deport illegal aliens than to keep them in the U.S. The price for American taxpayers is $10,854 per illegal alien removed, compared to their average lifetime net fiscal drain of $65,292.

There may be potentially 4 million foreign nationals who are already “half-amnestied” through a federal work permit program, an immigration expert argues.
