Andrew R. Arthur explains to the NY Post that nearly one million illegal immigrants have "self-deported" under Trump, which has led to higher wages for those in the U.S. labor force.

A Compendium of Recent Academic Work Showing Negative Impacts of Immigration ([link removed])
By Jason Richwine, June 23, 2025
Summary: Have scholars reached a consensus that immigration has no downsides for the United States? Listening to advocates and their allied media, one might assume so. The purpose of this compendium is to dispel such self-serving myths. The truth is that the costs and benefits of immigration are routinely measured, weighed, and debated in academic journals. No fair reading of the literature could conclude that immigration is an unambiguous good. What follows are my own summaries of 72 recent academic works showing negative impacts of immigration in areas ranging from labor markets to health. Each summary focuses on the immigration aspects of the work, draws out policy implications, and links to related CIS research whenever helpful.

Published in the Spectator:
How’s Trump Doing on Immigration? Great! (Mostly) ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian, June 23, 2025
Excerpt: New York Mayor Ed Koch used to ask almost everyone he met, “How’m I doing?” Trump hasn’t asked me “How’m I doing?” on immigration, but if he did, I’d answer, “Outstanding, Mr. President, but with one hiccup and much left to do.”

This Isn’t the Way to Get Illegal Immigrants to Self-Deport ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian, June 20, 2025
Excerpt: The Trump administration almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last week on immigration. Just as self-deportation is gaining steam, the White House briefly gave in to corporate pressure and announced that whole sections of the economy would be exempt from immigration enforcement.

Published in National Review:
That Was Fast ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian, June 17, 2025
Excerpt: Last week the president, intensely lobbied by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, announced that whole sectors of the economy would be off-limits to ICE enforcement, including farming, meatpacking, hotels, and restaurants. And it wasn’t just idle musing by the president; a senior ICE official sent a directive out to all regional managers Thursday, prohibiting even collateral arrests of non-violent illegals in those industries during any operations focused on trafficking and the like.

‘Administrative Amnesty’ Could Exempt Two Million Illegal Immigrants from Deportation ([link removed])
By Jason Richwine
Excerpt: How large would this amnesty be? Having recently written a report on the illegal immigrant presence in each Census-identified occupation, I re-ran the numbers based on the industries that Trump selected for protection. The results show that about 12.5 percent of illegal immigrants are covered. Since the Center has estimated that there were 15.8 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. in January – see the figure below – that implies two million amnesty recipients. The total would increase to the 2.5 to 3.0 million range if we count the dependents of these immigrants who also do not have legal status.
Border Secure, Wages Up ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The Biden administration ushered in millions of largely unskilled migrants, cheered on by many who received the benefits of cheap labor and bore few of the costs. With the border now secure, and the migrant inflow reversed, the economics of illegal migration are apparent for those who care to see.

Deploying the Alien Enemies Act Against Iran ([link removed])
By George Fishman
Excerpt: Does President Trump need to wait until after an Iranian terrorist attack or thwarted attack before he can trigger the AEA? Last May, I asked whether Iran-led assassinations, or attempted assassinations, on U.S. soil could trigger the AEA, concluding that “a strong argument can be made that such acts would”. As President Trump well knows, attempted assassinations have already occurred. The AEA’s time may well be now.
