Illegal Immigrant Crossings Fall 78% and Once Overcrowded Cells are Empty

“There are a lot of statistics Mark A. Morgan, acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner, uses to show how Trump policies have helped to cut illegal immigration into the United States”—but there are two that he thinks really make that accomplishment clear, Paul Bedard reports for the Washington Examiner.

"First is daily apprehensions, a number that hit 4,600 at the height of the latest crisis in May. That has now dropped to 1,300. What’s more, he said, the 21-daily average is below 1,000, a 78% cut."

Second, detention facilities that once had five times more illegal immigrants in custody than beds available are now well below capacity. That’s good news for American citizens, legal immigrants, victims of human smuggling, and our law enforcement officers.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s delay in transmitting articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate was never going to result in what anti-Trump activists demanded. But it further eroded the credibility of the impeachment process by reinforcing the perception that it is nothing but partisan political theater,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) writes for Fox News.

The U.S. economy is the best it’s been in 50 years. But critics of the President have to find something to complain about, and their latest target is trade. Here’s the problem: As President Trump holds our trade partners accountable, “the economy remains robust, wages continue to rise, and inflation stays muted,” White House Director for Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro writes in The Wall Street Journal.

“Ivanka Trump says the White House is committed to ending human trafficking, which she called ‘modern day slavery.’ President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser made the comments during a trip to Atlanta on Tuesday. She visited nonprofit groups that help victims of human trafficking,” The Associated Press reports.

“Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser fully supported President Trump’s decision to kill top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani . . . ‘What the administration did in the Soleimani case is absolutely correct,’” Gen. James Jones said. Gen. Jones called it a “powerful step,” Caitlin Yilek reports in the Washington Examiner.

New York Times admits President Trump’s maximum pressure on Iran is working

The world’s worst terrorist, Qasem Soleimani, met his end on January 3. On President Donald J. Trump’s order, the U.S. military executed a flawless strike on Soleimani to keep Americans safe from this mass murderer—who had plans to kill again.

As President Trump promised, the maximum pressure campaign on Iran is now increasing. New sanctions announced last week are targeting the regime’s last remaining sources of export revenue, which Iran’s leaders used to fund terrorism around the world.

President Trump: It’s a disgrace that anyone defends Soleimani

“Today, I am holding the Iranian regime responsible for attacks against United States personnel and interests by denying it substantial revenue that may be used to fund and support its nuclear program, missile development, terrorism and terrorist proxy networks, and malign regional influence,” the President said.

These measures will specifically target pivotal industries such as construction, manufacturing, and mining. Any person who puts profits over peace by doing business with these prohibited sectors in Iran will be hit with powerful secondary sanctions.

“These punishing economic sanctions will remain until the Iranian regime changes its behavior,” the President added.

Peace through strength—the bedrock of President Trump’s foreign policy—rejects appeasement and seeks creative diplomacy backed by a strong negotiating position. Giving a violent regime money and ignoring its bad behavior, as the failed Iran nuclear deal did, never works. Iran’s leaders must know that terrorism is totally off the table.

The good news is that under President Trump, America is negotiating from a position of strength. Our economy is booming, with the unemployment rate at a 50-year low and our energy sector leading the world in oil and natural gas production. Iran, buckling under the weight of American-led sanctions, is headed in the opposite direction.

The New York Times confirmed those basic facts just yesterday. “Iran’s Grim Economy Limits Its Willingness to Confront the U.S.,” its headline read. “Fearful of public anger over a plunging economy, Iran’s leaders appear to be turning inward, pulling back from escalation.”

President Trump is standing with the Iranian people in that fight. Over the weekend, the President delivered a public call of support for protesters in Iran. The message, written in both English and Farsi, became “the most liked Persian tweet” ever.

“To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I've stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage.”

“The elite narrative on Iran brushes aside the fury of the Iranian people.”

President Trump heads to the “Badger State”

The President is in Wisconsin tonight, a state where workers and families have felt the lasting effects of America’s working-class boom:

Since the 2016 election, Wisconsin’s unemployment rate has fallen to 3.3 percent as of November—below even the decades-best U.S. average of 3.5 percent.

Monthly claims for unemployment insurance in the state have fallen by 18.8 percent since the election, as well.

Nominal average hourly earnings for all private employees in Wisconsin have grown 3.5 percent year-over-year, as of November.

Blue-collar workers have experienced big wage gains: The goods-producing and manufacturing industries have seen increases of 4.6 and 4 percent, respectively.

13 Years and 16,000 Pages—It’s Time to Fix It

It took about 5 years from the start of construction to build the Hoover Dam, one of the modern world’s engineering marvels. Today, however, “even modest public works, including roads, bridges and airport runways, can spend years in limbo,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.

A big culprit: “The National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA. That 1970 law requires an environmental study of any major project that involves federal funding or permitting. NEPA hasn’t been overhauled in 40 years.” One 12-mile interstate expansion in Denver took 13 years, with a final report running 8,951 pages—plus 7,307 more in appendix.

President Trump recently proposed a new rule to fix that. “Characterizing the Democratic response as ‘knee jerk’ would be an insult to knees, or jerks, or both,” the editors write.

“President Donald Trump was welcomed with overwhelming enthusiasm in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Monday night before the college football national title game . . . Trump was shown on the dome's two big boards as he and his wife and first lady, Melania Trump, entered,” Andre Toran and Paul Myerberg report for USA Today.

Deregulation has been an unsung success story of the Trump Administration. This week, “the Labor Department adds its ‘joint employer’ rule to the long list of deregulatory wins . . . The new rule we’re introducing updates one from 1958, which said joint employment exists when two employers are ‘not completely disassociated’ from each other. Little explanation was given for that legal test, leading to uncertainty, unnecessary litigation and divergent standards in different federal courts,” White House Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia write in The Wall Street Journal.

Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner visits Milwaukee today to discuss skills training for former inmates. “Kushner's visit follows the first anniversary of the First Step Act, legislation aimed at overhauling the criminal justice system in an effort to reduce the number of people in the nation’s prisons and help former inmates rejoin society,” Mary Spicuzza reports for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump travels to Georgia today “to highlight and advance the administration’s work against human trafficking. She intends to tour two facilities on Tuesday that help survivors in downtown Atlanta.” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and other Administration officials will join her, Joshua Sharpe reports in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The wall is going up, and illegal immigration is going down

The wall is going up, and illegal immigration is down!

Americans spent years telling Washington to fix our country’s broken immigration system. But career politicians ignored the will of voters and pushed “solutions” that left special interests happy and most citizens frustrated.

Donald J. Trump won the Presidency promising to end that stalemate. Now, despite shocking levels of resistance from Democrats in Congress, the rule of law is being restored at our nation’s doorstep. Mile by mile, President Trump is keeping his promise.

Watch: Out with the old, in with the new wall!

The 100th mile of border wall construction was announced on Friday—a “milestone achievement,” Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said.

“New wall has been constructed in every border state from California to Texas. This is a milestone for our entire country, and this would not have been possible without the President’s steadfast determination and leadership,” Wolf said.

“Walls work,” he added. They’re “an undeniable impediment to human smugglers, drug traffickers, and other criminals who have exploited our lack of effective border infrastructure.” The wall comes as part of a much larger strategy by President Trump to curb illegal immigration, including new deals with countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, to protect our asylum system for those who need it most.

The progress in the past year alone has been staggering. Last May, monthly border apprehensions skyrocketed to more than 144,000 in the midst of our National Emergency, leaving resources for our law enforcement officers stretched to their limits. Now, illegal immigration is down for the seventh straight month.

“The President listened to his operators on the front lines,” Wolf said. As a result, not only was border wall funding secured, but the President made sure our officers have the tools they need to get the problem under control. That means all-weather roads, lighting, enforcement cameras, and other enforcement technology.

The result? Since border wall construction began in Tucson, Arizona, illegal crossings are down 24 percent. In San Diego, California, they’re down 27 percent. And in Yuma, Arizona, they are down over 78 percent.

“Trump touts court ruling allowing military funds for border wall construction.”

🎬 Watch: 100 miles of border wall—and counting

Video of the day: America is WORKING!

Friday’s jobs report builds on what is perhaps the biggest storyline of the Trump Presidency: the blue-collar, working-class economic boom that began 3 years ago.

The headline numbers, such as the unemployment rate remaining at a 50-year low of 3.5 percent, show how the U.S. economy is firing on all cylinders. The most powerful takeaway, though, is what the Trump Economy is doing for historically disadvantaged communities:

Wage growth for workers now outpaces growth for managers.

Wage growth for those without a bachelor’s degree now outpaces growth for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Wage growth for the lowest earners now outpaces growth for the highest earners.

The only ones shaking their heads today are the “experts” who told us that President Trump’s economy would be a mess. For everyone else, it’s a great time to be on the job.

Trump's Average Unemployment Rate is the Lowest in Recorded History

Trump's Average Unemployment Rate is the Lowest in Recorded History

“President Trump starts off 2020 having presided over a lower average unemployment rate than any president at a comparable point in office in recorded history,” Philip Klein reports in the Washington Examiner.

“Since February 2017, Trump's first full month in office, the monthly unemployment rate has averaged 3.9%. No prior president has averaged less than 4% over the first 35 months of his presidency. The closest was Dwight Eisenhower.” The unemployment rate for December held steady at a historically low 3.5%, according to Friday’s jobs report.

“The Trump administration on Friday marked the 100th mile of wall construction along the southern border”—the first part of many more miles to come, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf says. “Officials have said that there is no comparison between the old Vietnam-era landing mats and the new 30-foot structures—complete with cameras, access roads, lights and other tech,” Adam Shaw reports for Fox News.

“Naturally, the Obama alums were in perfect sync with the dominant media narrative in the four days between the Soleimani strike and Iran’s feeble retaliation. They helped feed the breathless headlines and feverish speculation that the coming conflagration would rattle the world . . . Instead, they all had egg on their faces for getting the big story wrong. Again,” Michael Goodwin writes in the New York Post.

President Trump's tweet in Farsi supporting Iranians who are protesting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has earned more than 350,000 likes, making it the “most liked Persian tweet” ever, Carlin Becker reports for the Washington Examiner.
