NBC News· 2026-02-09 22:18
Congress is facing a major time crunch before funding lapses for the entire Department of Homeland Security at the end of this week. And there are no signs that Republicans and Democrats are anywhere close to a deal. Senate Democrats did release a draft legislation over the weekend that includes their wish list of immigration reforms to ICE and Border Patrol in exchange for funding DHS.And party leadership is not budging from those demands. They include targeted operations, no masks for agents, an end to ra ...

RT Project for Immigration Reform (@PFIRorg)Most illegal aliens who come here seeking work end up using Social Security numbers stolen from U.S. citizens. By contrast, F-1 student visa holders from India who violate the terms of their visas by working off-campus do so entirely off the books, paid in cash to avoid leaving a paper trail that could later jeopardize their immigration status. Owners of Indian restaurants and stores favor these arrangements because they can pay below-market wages to workers with ...

RT Project for Immigration Reform (@PFIRorg)Believe it or not, this is how immigration actually functioned before the 1990 Act. U.S. consulates used to reject nearly 80% of visa applicants by assuming they had no intention of leaving once they arrived. So unless you were admitted to a top-tier university or had an American sponsor willing to go through the process and plead your case to the State Department, your chances of getting a visa were slim. Now, visas are handed out like candy. ...
