Why the Decline in the Foreign-Born in the Monthly Household Survey in 2025 Is Very Likely Real
By Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler, October 8, 2025

And it gives IJs the one thing every judge wants: the right to render independent judgments.
The Economist (UK) Gives Vinegar-Laced Kudos to President’s Border Successes
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The last line in an article that gives Donald Trump credit for border security through gritted teeth is dispositively true: Policies implemented by the last administration threw the border open, and policies implemented by the current one have shut them.
