Does it sound familiar? Trump’s action are an amazing coincidence given he knew nothing about Project 2025.
1. Enforcement & Deportations
- It calls for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, including nationwide raids to remove people living in the U.S. without legal status, with fewer procedural protections.
- The plan would allow immigration enforcement (such as ICE) to arrest, detain, and remove immigration violators anywhere in the U.S., potentially without a warrant in many cases — a significant departure from current Fourth Amendment-related practices.
- It also supports expanding detention of immigrants, including in temporary facilities and potentially large detention sites.
🛑 2. Tightening Legal Immigration
- Visa restrictions: The proposal would reduce or eliminate many key visa categories:
- Cuts to family-based immigration (making it harder for relatives to sponsor each other).
- Reduction or phase-out of H-1B skilled visas and H-2 temporary worker visas over time.
- Elimination or severe limitation on humanitarian visas like T visas (for trafficking survivors) and U visas (for crime victims).
- Caps or pauses on various immigration application types if backlogs occur.
📉 3. Asylum, Refugees & Protection
- The plan calls for dismantling or drastically limiting the asylum system, making it much harder for people fleeing persecution to get protection in the U.S.
- It would dramatically cut refugee admissions.
- It also suggests letting immigration enforcement conduct operations in “sensitive” places such as schools, hospitals, and religious institutions, which are currently off-limits in most cases.
🎓 4. Ending Birthright Citizenship (Proposed)
- Some versions of the proposal recommend ending birthright citizenship (the constitutional right that makes almost everyone born in the U.S. a citizen). Note: ending this would require a constitutional amendment — something the plan advocates but is a separate process.
💼 5. Other Major Impacts
- The proposals would increase fees for immigration applications and create “premium processing” for those who can pay more.
- It would shift priorities toward wealthier or high-paying immigrants, while reducing opportunities for others.
- The overhaul includes merging or abolishing existing immigration agencies (like DHS and USCIS) into a new immigration enforcement structure.

exactly! When Biden crapped all over federal law. When they lied and asserted that the border was not open. When they directly and indirectly encouraged people to pay cayotes to bring them to the border and taught them how to claim asylum. THEY OPENED THE DOOR to the idiot ass Trump. The pendulum swung even farther to the left before it swung back to the right. Compare Obama and Trump 1 and Biden versus Trump 2.

Is any of this correct?
President Joe Biden’s approach to illegal immigration (often referred to as irregular or unauthorized migration, particularly at the U.S.-Mexico border) involved a mix of early reversals of Trump-era restrictions, efforts to create lawful pathways, changes to enforcement priorities, and later restrictions in response to high border encounters. The administration faced record-high migrant encounters early in the term but implemented measures that significantly reduced them by 2024-2025.
Key Actions and Policies
• Early Reversals of Trump Policies (2021): On his first day in office (January 20, 2021), Biden halted construction of the border wall, ended the national emergency declaration used to fund it, revoked the “Muslim travel ban,” reaffirmed protections for DACA recipients, and paused most deportations for 100 days (later blocked in court). The administration narrowed interior enforcement priorities to focus on national security threats, public safety risks, and recent border crossers rather than broad removals for minor offenses.
• Border Management and Asylum Changes: The administration initially sought to end Trump-era policies like the Migrant Protection Protocols (“Remain in Mexico”) and Title 42 (pandemic-era expulsions), though Title 42 remained in place until May 2023 due to legal challenges and was used extensively under Biden (over 2.5 million expulsions). They expanded humanitarian pathways, including parole programs for nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (nearly 530,000 used by mid-2024), and the CBP One app for scheduling asylum appointments (over 800,000 used by mid-2024).
• Enforcement and Expulsions: Despite perceptions of lax enforcement, the administration expelled or removed millions under Title 8 and Title 42 authorities—estimates suggest around 3.3 million border crossers removed or expelled, more than under Trump’s full term in some analyses.
• Later Restrictions (2023-2024): In response to surges, the administration issued the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule (May 2023) to presume asylum ineligibility for those not using lawful processes. On June 4, 2024, Biden issued a presidential proclamation and joint DHS-DOJ rule to suspend entry and restrict asylum when daily encounters averaged 2,500 or more over a week (with exceptions for unaccompanied children, etc.). This led to sharp declines in crossings.
• Other Efforts: The administration addressed root causes through diplomacy in Central America and Mexico (which increased enforcement), expanded refugee processing, and extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for certain groups.

Yes, most of it is cortect.

The administration faced record-high migrant encounters early in the term but implemented measures that significantly reduced them by 2024-2025. He only changed direction once he decided to run for re-election and it became clear that he would lose reelection because of the stupidity involved in of his immigration policies.
Other Efforts: The administration addressed root causes through diplomacy in Central America and Mexico (which increased enforcement), expanded refugee processing, and extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for certain groups. What action did they take that discouraged illegal immigration? What actions did any of the Central American countries take to deter illegal immigration into America? All of the above made it easier to fraudently claim asylum. All of the above made billions in revenue for the coyotes. It took Trump 2 just a month or two to all but stop 100% of the illegal immigration.

Agree. As a citizen, how many laws can YOU break without worrying about legal action? Remember, most illegal immigrants have to also lie about their status to gain employment. So that is 2 violations. Failing to properly pay taxes makes 3 violations. In most states, you can’t get a valid drivers license, that would be another violation, let alone driving without insurance.

Apparently you forget that at one point, they were scheduling asylum hearings as late as 2035 for those who crossed the border during the Biden Administration.

Agree. But even more were admitted. Simply, you see a glass as one third full, I see it as two thirds empty.

This led to sharp declines in crossings. Day late, ten dollars short. We will be trying to correct the mistakes of the Biden administration long after both you and I are dead and gone.
The Democrats can win on immigration only if they focus on the one offs, the mistakes ICE and the idiot ass Trump make. Otherwise, once those mistakes are corrected, they will again be killed at the polls to the extent there are single issue voters who prioritize immigration.
