Commentary
Published in the New York Post:
False refugee study used by Dems to justify open borders — and massive spending ([link removed])
By Don Barnett, December 30, 2025
Excerpt: Even as massive fraud schemes are uncovered in Minnesota, orchestrated primarily by Somali refugees, Democrats are claiming that refugees and asylum seekers provide a substantial net benefit to the United States, based on a methodologically unsound report from 2017.

Published in the New York Post:
It’s undeniable US allowed child trafficking during Afghan withdrawal — now’s the time to make it right ([link removed])
By Phillip Linderman, December 23, 2025
Excerpt: It is an uncomfortable but undeniable fact that the U.S. government was complicit in child trafficking during Operation Allies Refuge, the evacuation mission that began in July of 2021 when the United States withdrew from Afghanistan. What is most distressing, aside from the heinous nature of the crimes committed, is that the government quickly swept claims of forced marriage and sexual assaults under the rug.

Proof the Border Is Historically Secure Can Be Found in CBP’s Monthly Stats ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Lost in the din of a violent week is CBP’s release of its statistics for agency “encounters” for the month of November. They reveal that not only is the border secure, but historically secure and becoming more so. Illegal migrant “travel season” starts in February, however, and we’ll soon see how long it lasts, but for now the greatest border accomplishment of Trump II can be measured in the record low number of alien children who are attempting to cross illegally – news you likely won’t hear about anywhere else.

By George Fishman
Excerpt: President Trump has indeed supersized the entry ban, which should result in fewer visa overstayers in the future, a smaller illegal alien population, and a more secure nation.
DHS: 600,000+ Deportations Since Inauguration Day ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: DHS recently issued a press release headlined: “Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, More than 2.5 Million Illegal Aliens Left the U.S.” Well, thanks to Trump, Noem, “Border Czar” Tom Homan, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, and (most importantly) thousands of ICE officers and countless other agents and officials.

By Elizabeth Jacobs
Excerpt: CIS submitted a public comment supporting DHS’s proposal to repeal the overly restrictive regulations that prohibited immigration officers from considering all relevant information when making a public charge determination, but also recommended changes to the proposed regulation.
