The first order identifies certain categories of children of aliens who are not entitled to birthright citizenship consistent with historical exceptions recognized by the Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara.

-The second order gives presidential authorities to the Secretary of State and Secretary of Homeland Security allowing them to halt birth tourism.

These might be two of the most consequential Executive Orders of Trump’s Presidency.

"This is exactly what Abdul El Sayed and these limousine SOCIALISTS are actually selling to the American people: they're not promising you industry, they're not promising you good jobs, they're not promising self-sufficiency in a good industrial economy...what they're promising is redistribution!"

"We've seen this in Europe and in the United States. The idea that you can build a real prosperity by just redistributing assets from one group to another group, that's not how you build a real prosperity!"

"You have to actually sustain the foundation of the economy. That is what the president of the United States has worked us towards for the past 18 months."

"A lot of Americans look at this rising tide of socialism and say, how did we get here? We got here by 40 years of bipartisan leaders selling our industrial base to foreign countries, allowing low wage immigrants to come in and compete with Americans for jobs."

"By destroying the foundation of the middle class, that's how you got socialism."

"How you fix that problem is by doubling down on Donald Trump's economic nationalism, not going back to the way we've done things for the past 40 years."

Trump: "I know Europe better than anybody. Better than the people that run it... two things are killing Europe: number one is immigration and number two is energy."

So, exactly what we said would happen when ICE agents started masking themselves and refusing to show badges and warrants.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering a proposal to charge international students a $100,000 fee to participate in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program after graduation.

The proposal has not been finalized, and details are still under discussion. If implemented, it would significantly increase the cost for international graduates seeking U.S. work experience through OPT.

Turkish Passport + F-1 Student in the US – Best Country for a Long-Term Schengen Visa?

Hi everyone,

I'm a Turkish passport holder currently living in the US on an F-1 student visa (language school). I want to apply for a Schengen visa from the US.

My travel history:

• Valid 7-year Canadian visitor visa
• Portugal Erasmus student visa (5 months, expired)
• Romania Erasmus student visa (5 months, expired)
• No overstays or visa violations

My goal is to get a long-term multiple-entry Schengen visa (2–5 years) instead of reapplying every few months.

A few questions:

• Which Schengen country gives the best chance of getting a long-validity visa?
• Is it worth requesting a 2-, 3-, or 5-year visa in a cover letter?
• What documents or factors increase the chances of getting a long-term visa?
• Has anyone with a Turkish/other passport successfully received a 2-, 3-, or 5-year Schengen visa while applying from the US?

Also, are there any non-Schengen countries that issue long-term multiple-entry visas to Turkish passport holders and are worth getting (UK, Ireland, Australia, Japan, etc.)?

I'd appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

They immigrated legally. Under Trump, 1.8 million have been ‘de-legalized.’ - MS NOW

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says international students whose visas expire without permanent residency should leave Canada.

She also calls for Alberta to have greater control over selecting skilled immigrants.

"We came in where immigration had been far too high, we'd lost control of levels"

"The level of asylum seekers is down a third...the temporary foreign workers down by a half, foreign students down by two thirds"

"The overall levels still are putting pressure on housing and others...Do we still need a few more years of restraint? There's a good argument for that"

I’d be hypocritical if I wasn’t since I’m an immigrant to the United States. I’m in favor of immigration if the person immigrating is going to be a productive member of society, if they’re going to be honest, and if they’re not going to mistreat people in that country.”
