The Trump administration is boasting about its anti-immigrant tactics and policies aimed at reversing the demographic reality of an emerging non-White majority. The White House, cheering the Supreme Court’s decision allowing revocation of TPS protections, listed 60 anti-immigrant/non-citizen actions it has taken.

The anti-immigrant policies have been extended from going after “the worst of the worst” criminals here illegally, to rounding up any person of color, interfering with their compliance for legal status, deporting them without judicial review or locking them up in detention centers without access to help (to force them to voluntarily self-deport), separating and incarcerating children; then going after migrants here legally under Temporary Protected Status, trying to remove green-card holders, denying visas to international students, moving to de-naturalize those who have gone through the arduous citizenship process, throwing out refugees who have been vetted, including the Afghans who worked with US soldiers, obstructing now canceling altogether the asylum process (mandated by US and international law).

All of this instead of creating Comprehensive Immigration Reform that would either deport the unworthy or provide legal status to the migrants who from its founding have built this nation.

These anti-immigrant actions – reminiscent of the 1920s – are on top of Trump going after Diversity, Equity, Inclusion programs – actually making them illegal; efforts to rewrite history and force changes at museums and educational institutions (“Slavery was good!” “There was no genocide of indigenous people.” “America is always virtuous and right!”)

Before we provide the White House’s run-down of the 60 different actions Trump is so proud of to keep America White Christian and Nationalist, here are some facts (assembled with help of A.I.) about the importance of immigrants and immigration to American society and the economy, correcting the falsehoods perpetrated by Trump, which apparently the White Christo Fascist Imperial Supremes do not recognize as blatantly racist and unconstitutional (“they’re eating your dogs”, “shit-hole countries”) and branding migrants as terrorists, criminals, rapists, gangmembers – Karen Rubin, editor@news-photos-features.com

Immigrants Enrich the USA

Immigrants substantially bolster the U.S. economy, contributing an estimated $1.7 trillion in consumer spending power and consistently driving labor force growth. They generate a massive net fiscal surplus, represent a major driving force in business innovation, and help stabilize the country’s tax revenues. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Labor & Fiscal Impact

• Tax Contributions: Immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive in public benefits, contributing over $1.3 trillion in taxes annually. Even undocumented workers pay an estimated $96.7 billion in local, state, and federal taxes, largely without receiving government benefits. [1, 2]
• Labor Force Growth: Over 95% of cumulative growth in the prime-age U.S. labor force since the mid-1990s comes from immigration, preventing stagnation in key industries like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. [1, 2]
• Consumer Power: First-generation immigrants and their children make up nearly 20% of the disposable income and purchasing power in the U.S.. [1]

Innovation & Entrepreneurship

• Business Creation: Immigrants are more likely to start businesses, with over 55% of billion-dollar “unicorn” startups having at least one immigrant founder. [1]
• STEM & Patents: Immigrants make up roughly 23% of the U.S. STEM workforce and are twice as likely as native-born workers to patent and commercialize their innovations. [1]

Social & Demographic Stabilization

• Age Distribution: Immigrants typically arrive as young adults of working age, helping to expand the tax base and sustain social safety nets like Social Security as the native-born population ages. [1]
• Long-Term Growth: Studies show that employment-based immigrants and refugees, over a 20- to 30-year span, contribute more in federal, state, and local taxes than they utilize in public services or settlement support. [1, 2]

This is from the White House:

The Supreme Court has delivered a major victory for American sovereignty, ruling that the Trump Administration has full authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants. The Biden Administration weaponized TPS as a backdoor amnesty to flood the country with millions of unvetted migrants — and that loophole is finally closed.
