Brandon Gill Blasts Democrats for Using Illegal Immigration As ‘Path to Political Power’– townhall.com

EXCERPT:
It’s no secret that Democrats see illegal immigration as a way to fundamentally transform America. By importing people from cultures that are wholly incompatible with our own, they seek to destroy this country and subjugate its citizens to a Third-World quality of life. But Rep. Brandon Gill isn’t going to let this happen on his watch, and he’s calling out the Democrats who want to give benefits to every illegal alien, and are even suing to do so.

“It’s what you expect from the party that as a matter of policy brought millions of illegal aliens into our country. Who just last fall shut down our federal government in order to give healthcare benefits to those illegal aliens,” Gill said, “and who are right now suing the federal government, the Trump administration, to give more welfare to illegal aliens.”
“I mean what you see anytime there is law enforcement versus the illegal aliens, Democrats will impulsively side with illegal aliens, no matter what the facts are, whether they know the facts or not,” he continued.
Gill is referring to the anti-ICE protests in Austin following the non-fatal shooting of an illegal alien with a final order of deportation.
“It is a party that is fundamentally against law and order,” Gill added. “Fundamentally against America’s sovereignty, and against the American people.”
Gill also said Democrats see illegal immigration as a path to political power.
Democrats not only believe that they represent illegal aliens, they see mass illegal immigration as a path to political power.

Where Did 4.5 Million Illegal Aliens, Who Arrived Under Joe Biden, End Up Staying in the U.S.? – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Pew Research Center data, Border Patrol recorded about 7.7 million encounters at the U.S.–Mexico border between Fiscal Years 2021 and 2025. Those numbers include illegals who were captured more than once and people who were immediately expelled.
Estimates of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population, meaning the total number of illegal aliens who live in the country, grew by roughly five million people between 2019 and 2024 (reaching a peak population of 15.8 million in mid-2024). There were also an estimated 2 million “gotaways” who entered the country illegally between 2021 and 2024 and were never apprehended or detected.
Where did those five million people end up living?
“An analysis of federal records obtained by The Associated Press traces the self-reported destinations of 4.5 million migrants released into the United States after crossing the Mexican border between October 2018 and July 2025,” reports the Daily Wire. “The records show illegal immigrants from around the world dispersing far beyond communities along the southern border, reaching major cities, suburbs, and smaller communities with relatively low immigrant populations.”
None of those communities requested this massive influx. Most were ill-prepared for the sudden population increase. The strain on many communities’ services and infrastructure was severe; in many cases, they broke under the strain.
The illegals were from 150 countries, according to the AP report, and “Venezuelans and Cubans accounted for the largest numbers of migrants in the data, with roughly 773,000 and 539,000 arrivals, respectively.”
Other Latin American countries that sent us significant influxes of citizens included Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras.

La Prensa Honduras covered the vanguard invasion:
Lack of employment, insecurity, and the rising cost of living are some of the reasons that, according to the migrants themselves, led them to once again embark on the journey to the United States.
More than 400 Hondurans, including young people, mothers with their children, and people from different parts of the country, gathered at the Gran Central Metropolitana in San Pedro Sula to begin their journey north.
The travelers arrived from various municipalities hoping to find job opportunities and improve their living conditions. Some indicated that their income was insufficient to cover basic expenses, while others cited insecurity as one of the factors that motivated them to leave Honduras again.
Omar’s New Bill Would Redirect $140 Billion from DHS to Communities ‘Impacted’ by ‘Heinous’ ICE Raids– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) introduced the Make ICE Pay Act last week. This legislation would strip nearly $140 billion from ICE and CBP — funds allocated to DHS via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR-1) — and redirect it to communities “that have been impacted by [DHS’s] heinous operations.”
In a press release issued by her office, Omar declared:
For over a year, ICE has been tearing through our nation, leading racist terror campaigns that have caused devastating damage to our cities, to our businesses, and to the lives of our constituents.
In Minneapolis, Operation Metro Surge cost our community nearly $700 million. We have a moral responsibility to end this abuse of power. Our bill will force ICE to pay the price for the damage they’ve left in their wake and ensure that these devastating operations can never be repeated.
Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) echoed Omar’s sentiments, claiming that “the psychological and financial impacts of Operation Metro Surge will be generational.”
Craig said:
As Minnesotans begin the long process of healing from the wounds that President Trump’s ICE inflicted, it’s important that we commit to holding this lawless and misguided administration accountable. There is much more work to be done, but this bill is a critical step toward making our communities whole.

Newsom says legislation could land state in legal trouble
Campus jobs will remain closed to illegal immigrant students in California after Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill Sunday that would have reversed the situation.
In his veto message, the Democrat governor expressed concerns that the legislation would violate federal law and land the state in trouble with the Trump administration, the Daily Bruin, UCLA’s student newspaper, reports.
“California remains committed to economic opportunity and tuition affordability for all students, including leading efforts to support undocumented students,” Newsom stated.
“But given the gravity of this bill’s consequences – including potential criminal and civil liability for state employees – the federal courts must resolve the legality of the novel legal theory behind this legislation before we proceed,” he stated.
The legislation prohibits public colleges and universities in California from “disqualifying a student from being hired for an employment position due to the student’s failure to provide proof of federal work authorization,” according to the bill summary.
Additionally, it would require institutions to “treat a specified prohibition in federal law on hiring undocumented noncitizens as inapplicable because that provision does not apply to any branch of state government.”
This language is based on a legal theory by scholars at the UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy. Hiroshi Motomura and Ahilan Arulanantham argue the 1986 federal law does not specifically designate government entities as “employers,” The College Fix previously reported.

EXCERPT:
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has joined a lawsuit seeking to stop the DOT from accessing commercial driver’s license (CDL) records from the CDLIS database operated by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, which contains information about 17 million people.
A U.S. District Court in California has since issued an injunction against the DOT while the lawsuit advances through the court system. The DOT is expected to appeal.
The legal fight is over ongoing actions being taken by the Trump administration to get illegal immigrants and unqualified drivers off the road following numerous deadly crashes caused by truckers who never should have been on the road. At least 30 Americans were killed in crashes caused by illegal truck drivers in 2025, including a high school basketball coach and his wife, and numerous others have been killed and maimed in 2026.
The DOT, along with other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), have been working to shut down “sham schools” that don’t provide proper or complete training to its students and who give CDLs to illegal immigrants who can’t speak or read English or identify road signs. On September 8, DHS officials launched a new tipline so everyday Americans can report CDL fraud.
“Too many American lives have been lost or permanently changed because illegal aliens who have no business being on our roads have been granted CDLs,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
The agencies have also engaged in law enforcement stings to take illegal drivers off the road and implement policies to strengthen English language requirements.

A federal immigration agent shot and wounded a man on Sunday in Austin, Texas, authorities said.
The shooting occurred shortly before 1 p.m. local time on the city’s north side. Chief of Austin-Travis County EMS Robert Luckritz said at a Sunday news conference he believes the man was shot once in the torso and that he was in serious condition.
Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said that, while the man’s condition was serious, he was stable.
A lawyer for the man who was shot identified him as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national. Attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch told CBS News that Garces Perez was working for DoorDash at the time of the shooting, and said he called his wife from his car while “yelling in pain.” DoorDash confirmed he was in the process of a delivery when the shooting happened and said it was investigating.
Lincoln-Goldfinch said Sunday night that Garces Perez had been released from Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas “into what we believe is ICE custody.” She said Garces Perez had been initially held for approximately six hours, during which time officers declined to provide his wife with meaningful information about his status or circumstances.
“We are deeply concerned that his wife and family have not been permitted to see him and have not received a meaningful update regarding his current condition or whereabouts,” she said.
She told CBS News that when they rushed to the hospital, law enforcement “ran us off the property and told us we can’t even stand on the driveway.”

Trump admin failed to back decision with data, judge ruled
A federal judge ruled Monday to block a new U.S. Department of Homeland Security rule that would have capped international student visas at four years. The rule was set to take effect the following day.
“The government’s contention that the rule is necessary to safeguard national security borders on the absurd,” U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor wrote.
“It is based almost entirely on a small handful of anecdotes, each of which involved incidents that the new rule would do nothing to prevent or even mitigate,” he wrote.
DHS forged ahead with the rule despite receiving roughly 22,000 public comments pointing out flaws and offering alternative paths.
The judge ruled that in doing so, the department violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires government agencies to act reasonably, respond to public comments logically, and back their decisions with actual data.
The administration argued the rule was vital for national security and fraud prevention, but the court ruled that these rationales failed to withstand meaningful review.

New York City’s socialist-in-chief, Zohran Mamdani, announced Monday that the Big Apple will lead a new lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging a rule that would expand the list of public benefits under which immigration officials can deny green cards to immigrants who are “likely at any time to become a public charge,” that is, to take advantage of welfare benefits. The programs that would be included in the new rule include SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children).
During his speech announcing the lawsuit, Mamdani employed the left’s usual scare tactics in an attempt to guilt the administration into doing what he wants. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “People could die” if the government doesn’t give out these handouts.
“The federal government finalized a set of drastic and unlawful changes to our country’s public charge rule, a rule that makes it possible for someone to be denied immigration status based on the likelihood of their need for public benefits,” he said. “It is intentionally vague as a means of creating uncertainty and fear, to isolate immigrant New Yorkers.”
“This is an undisguised effort to strip New Yorkers of the services they rely on, the public benefits they are entitled to,” he continued. “Up to 4 million people from across the country could unenroll from their health care alone. … None of this is abstract. People could die. … Immigrants are New Yorkers.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is cracking down on immigration attorneys who file what the agency calls “meritless” and fraudulent asylum claims, according to a letter obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.
A letter from DHS General Counsel James Percival to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) argues that the immigration court system is facing a massive backlog, with nearly 3.5 million cases and 2.3 million asylum claims pending as of July 2026.
DHS attributes much of the backlog to what it calls “meritless asylum claims,” arguing that such claims can delay deportation and allow migrants to remain in the U.S. while their cases are pending.
The letter says claims involving generalized gang violence, domestic violence, economic hardship, and other country conditions often fail to meet the legal standard for asylum.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Attorney General Letitia James are suing President Donald Trump’s administration over its effort to expand federal authority to deny visas and green cards to immigrants who are likely to rely on taxpayer-funded public benefits.
The lawsuit targets the Trump administration’s expansion of the “public charge” rule, which allows immigration officials to consider whether an applicant is likely to depend on government assistance when deciding whether to approve a visa or permanent residency application.
The administration is seeking to broaden the benefits considered under the rule, with the changes scheduled to take effect September 18.
Mamdani argued Monday that the policy would intimidate immigrants into abandoning government benefits.
“If you are a citizen, or an individual seeking humanitarian relief like asylum, these changes will not affect you,” Mamdani said during a press conference.
“The new public charge rule not only sweeps aside more than a century of established law, it is intentionally vague as a means of creating uncertainty and fear to isolate immigrant New Yorkers.

“This downturn reflects the convergence of several headwinds: declining application volumes, persistent visa appointment bottlenecks, and newly restrictive immigration policy changes,” the NAFSA report states.
NAFSA is a lobbying group for international education and university exchange programs. The group’s projections might miss crucial context, some say.

States’ laws ‘constitute blatant unequal treatment favoring illegal aliens over U.S. citizens,’ lawsuits claim
The Department of Justice recently filed lawsuits against New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington for their laws requiring in-state tuition prices be granted to illegal immigrants attending state universities.
These four new complaints—filed Aug. 27—mark the 18th through 21st cases of this kind since the Justice Department’s first lawsuit against Texas in June 2025. Most of the cases are on-going.
Christopher Hajec, deputy general council at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told The College Fix that he believes these lawsuits will continue to be filed, although he is not sure what state will be next.
Some states have attempted to skirt around the federal law by “not bas[ing] instate tuition for illegal aliens on residence, but on some proxy for residence, such as graduation from a high school in the state,” he said in a recent interview.
Every one of the 21 complaints filed over the last 15 months—from Texas up through Washington—cite a federal law that states that illegal immigrants cannot be eligible “on the basis of residence … for any postsecondary education benefit” unless that same benefit is available to U.S. citizens regardless of their residence.
President Trump’s New Order on H-1B Visas Sends Shockwaves Through Immigrant Communities – RedState– redstate.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
The Trump administration is widening its crackdown on the H-1B system, targeting two major benefits tied to the program: work permits for certain visa holders’ spouses and the grace period that allows laid-off foreign workers to remain in the country while seeking another job.
The Department of Homeland Security has revived a plan to eliminate employment authorization for certain spouses of H-1B workers who are in the United States on H-4 dependent visas.
At the same time, a separate DHS proposal to eliminate the current 60-day grace period for H-1B workers after they lose their jobs has cleared review at the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, putting that rule on track for public release.
Together with the administration’s newly proposed $103,265 fee for cap-subject H-1B petitions, the moves represent a broader effort to reshape a visa program that critics have long accused corporations of using to import cheaper labor while American workers compete for the same jobs.
Under a rule adopted during the Obama administration in 2015, certain spouses of H-1B workers became eligible to apply for employment authorization while their families waited through the employment-based green card process.
Not every H-4 spouse qualifies. The benefit generally applies when the H-1B worker is the beneficiary of an approved Form I-140 immigrant petition or has received certain extensions beyond the ordinary six-year H-1B limit.
For those who do qualify, however, the Employment Authorization Document allows the spouse to work independently in the United States. Trump’s DHS is now considering taking that authorization away.
The proposal appears on the department’s regulatory agenda under the title, “Removing H-4 Dependent Spouses From the Classes of Noncitizens Eligible for Employment Authorization.”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Monday, August 31, that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is removing 110 commercial driver’s license training schools from the federal Training Provider Registry and issuing notices of proposed removal to more than 160 additional schools, a combined total of about 270 locations. The removals come as the Trump Administration continues to crack down on illegal aliens operating commercial vehicles on American roads.
The 110 schools must immediately stop administering curricula, using training facilities, and conducting behind-the-wheel instruction. Officials said those providers were linked to more than 5,000 drivers later cited for failing English-language proficiency checks during roadside inspections.
Each of the 110 schools had passed at least 10 such drivers, according to a press release from the Justice Department.
Duffy described the first group as the largest sources of those violations. “Today, what we are announcing is an emergency executive shutdown of 110 driving schools,” he said. “These are driving schools that account for 5,000 of the violations for English proficiency.”
The secretary went on to stress the administration’s emphasis on English proficiency tests that have often been ignored by many of the affected locations. “You have to speak English to operate a commercial motor vehicle. I didn’t create that rule. President Trump didn’t create that rule. That rule has been in place for decades,” he noted.
For the additional 160 locations that were given notices of proposed removal, Duffy cited inadequate space for required maneuvers, unlicensed instructors, missing documentation, and classrooms that did not meet federal standards.

Democrats Admit They Don’t See Illegal Immigration As A Problem– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., thinks the problem Democrats had with immigration was not that they allowed millions of illegals to invade the country, but rather that Democrats’ simply failed to explain to Americans that they should be grateful for living with illegal aliens who apparently make communities safer.
During an interview with the CT Mirror, Murphy claimed that President Donald Trump was trying to solve a “fake problem” of mass migration being a threat to the American people.
“The problem, according to the Trump administration, is a country that has been invaded, a country that is at risk physically because of the presence of people from other countries,” Murphy said. “That is a fake problem. That is not a real problem.”
Murphy then cited unnamed sources purportedly showing illegal aliens — who by definition have committed a crime by being here illegally — are actually less likely to be criminals than Americans.
“Nobody likes to hear this, but immigrants, first generation immigrants and undocumented immigrants both commit crimes at rates lower than natural-born Americans, than people that are born here in this country,” Murphy said. “So if you want to live in a safe community, you are actually better off living in a community with people that just got to the United States of America. And so we’re not seeking to solve ‘a problem’ of migrant crime.”
This answer makes a lot of sense if you understand that Democrats have learned absolutely nothing after the 2024 presidential election.
For four years the Biden administration facilitated a mass illegal alien invasion. Democrat cities and states became filled with Third World foreigners. Hotels were turned into migrant shelters, American students were sent home for remote learning so that illegal aliens could sleep in public schools, and taxpayers were forced to feed, clothe, shelter, and protect millions of illegal aliens who had no right to be here.

The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourist visas of as many as 200,000 foreigners who entered the United States as temporary visitors and later sought asylum, escalating its campaign to restore control over an immigration system systematically abused for years.
If carried out at the projected scale, the action would amount to the largest mass visa revocation in American history.
State Department documents cited by the Associated Press show the measure would apply to B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026. Officials expect the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to carry out the revocations jointly and on a rolling basis.
“We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said. He declined to give a final number because the review is still underway.
B1 visas are intended for temporary business travel, while B2 visas cover tourism, family visits and medical treatment. Applicants are expected to prove they plan to leave the United States rather than use temporary admission as an entry point for permanent settlement.
