President Trump’s bold immigration crackdown delivers justice for American victims of crime, rejecting leftist myths that downplay dangers from unchecked borders.
Story Highlights
- Trump’s administration deported record numbers of illegal alien criminals, including over 100,000 arrests and 2,700 Tren de Aragua gang members.
- Historic legislation like the Laken Riley Act honors victims and terminates benefits for 1.4 million illegal immigrants gaming the system.
- Self-deportation push and over 600 terrorists removed protect U.S. citizens from border-related threats.
- Executive orders close the border, ending taxpayer subsidization of open borders and saving billions for Americans.
Record Deportations Target Criminal Illegal Aliens
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested over 100,000 illegal alien criminals under President Trump’s direction. This includes more than 2,700 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang. The administration broke records for deportation flights in June, with over 600 known and suspected terrorists removed from the United States. These actions prioritize American safety after years of Biden-era policies that allowed dangerous individuals to flood communities. Trump’s self-deportation initiative has proven massively successful, restoring order at the border.
Landmark Legislation Honors Victims and Cuts Benefits
Congress passed the Laken Riley Act, named after a young American murdered by an illegal immigrant, as part of President Trump’s legislative victories. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivered the largest tax cut in history, boosting Americans’ take-home pay by up to $13,300. It terminated benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants exploiting the system. Additional laws like the Halt Fentanyl Act combat deadly drugs pouring across open borders. These measures affirm conservative values of law, order, and protecting citizens first.
Executive Actions Secure Borders and Save Taxpayer Dollars
President Trump signed over 170 executive orders fulfilling campaign promises, including closing the border and ending federal subsidization of open borders. An February executive order protected over $40 billion in U.S. benefit programs from illegal aliens. The administration rescinded $9 billion in wasteful foreign aid, redirecting funds from leftist scams. These steps counter past overspending and globalism, ensuring resources serve hardworking Americans rather than rewarding lawbreakers. Military equipment to Ukraine now falls on NATO, easing U.S. burdens.
Trump designated eight Latin American cartels, including MS-13 and Sinaloa, as terrorist groups to dismantle networks fueling crime and fentanyl deaths. This crackdown addresses root causes of violence linked to illegal immigration, which studies ignore when claiming lower immigrant crime rates. In reality, criminal aliens commit disproportionate murders and assaults, as deportation data reveals. Protecting families from such threats upholds constitutional principles of secure sovereignty and individual liberty.
Economic Wins Reinforce America-First Policies
Trump’s immigration enforcement coincides with booming blue-collar wage growth, the largest in nearly 60 years. Companies pledged $7.6 trillion in U.S. investments, creating jobs for citizens. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, building on first-term successes like 7 million new jobs and middle-class income gains of nearly $6,000. Rejecting cheap foreign labor preserved American employment, as seen in pressuring the TVA to halt outsourcing. These policies combat inflation from fiscal mismanagement under prior regimes.
