  • Texas Offers Land for Use for Trump Deportations

    Trump has said he plans to declare a national emergency on his first day in office, citing the border crisis. In an effort to aid the administration, Texas offered state property in Starr County, where more than 1,400 acres could be used to construct deportation facilities and staging areas.

  • Does Immigration Really Drive Up Crime? Not According to the Evidence

    The belief that immigration drives up crime is one of the oldest – and strongest – convictions held by the public, spanning over a century in the US and elsewhere. But what does the evidence really show? Our analysis reveals that studies consistently find no causal link between immigration and increased crime across a variety of countries.

  • Trump’s Immigration Policies Made America Less Safe. Here’s the Data.

    New data reveal that Trump was the one whose immigration policies damaged the country’s security. In fact, he released more convicted criminals into the United States than his successor. This is not to lend credence to Trump’s efforts to demonize immigrants as dangerous or violent. Data shows that immigrants — both legal and illegal — are at least half as likely as citizens to be incarcerated for crimes committed in the United States.

  • The Best Political Argument for More Immigration Restrictions Just Failed

    Many Republican politicians and their supporters are worried about immigrants and their descendants being permanent Democratic voters. This week’s election returns are dramatic evidence that immigrants and their children are assimilating to American political norms, that they are voting Republican in huge numbers, and that Donald Trump defeated the best politically self-interested argument for Republicans to oppose increased legal immigration.

  • What a Trump Presidency Means for Millions of Migrants and Their Families in the U.S.

    In the US election, a tough-on-immigration stance from president-elect Donald Trump, including promises of mass deportations, appears to have resonated with voters. History shows that these policies may have initial public support, but raise other issues when executed.

  • Beefing Up Border Patrol Is a Bipartisan Goal, but the Agency Has a Troubled History of Violence and Impunity

    On border policy, Trump and Harris have remarkably similar positions: They want to send more money, Border Patrol agents and technology to the U.S.-Mexico border. Yet, as my research on the history of border enforcement reveals, flooding the zone with funding, law enforcement and technology will not necessarily make the border safer.

  • U.S. Border Surveillance Towers Have Always Been Broken

    A new bombshell scoop from NBC News revealed an internal U.S. Border Patrol memo claiming that 30 percent of camera towers that compose the agency’s “Remote Video Surveillance System” (RVSS) program are broken. Except, this isn’t a bombshell.

  • The U.S. Business Community Used to Be a Force for Immigration Reform. What Happened?

    For decades, the business lobby helped shape immigration legislation and moderated the immigration debate, working alongside advocates for immigrants. In the Trump era, businesses now see more risk than reward in immigration politics. Many have prioritized what’s still doable: tax cuts and deregulation.

  • Proof That Immigrants Fuel the U.S. Economy Is Found in the Billions They Send Back Home

    Studies indicate that remittances — or money immigrants send back home — constitute 17.5% of immigrants’ income. Given that, we estimate that the immigrants who remitted in 2022 had take-home wages of over $466 billion. Assuming their take-home wages are around 21% of the economic value of what they produce for the businesses they work for – like workers in similar entry-level jobs in restaurants and construction – then immigrants added a total of $2.2 trillion to the U.S. economy yearly. That is about 8% of the U.S. GDP.

  • Immigrant Population Is Still One Million Below the Pre-Trump Trend

    The share of the US population who are immigrants—legal and illegal—rose just 0.4 percentage points, from 13.9 percent to 14.3 percent from July 2022 to July 2023. Over the last decade, the U.S. has seen the slowest growth in the immigrant share of the population since the 1960s. The immigrant share is growing slowly and is still below its record high in 1890, even though the U.S. is currently experiencing the slowest total population growth in its history.
