Last month, we reported on the tragic case of an immigrant truck driver in Florida who killed three people after making an illegal U-turn across a highway. In the aftermath of that crash, federal officials revealed the driver could not pass even basic English language or road sign tests, yet somehow, he had been granted […]

Texans know firsthand that border security cannot be left to Washington alone. For years, state and local law enforcement officers have shouldered the burden of an unsecured border, often without the resources or backing they need. That is now beginning to change. Thanks to President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill provisions, Immigration and Customs Enforcement […]
While most of the public debate around foreign labor has focused on the H-1B visa program, there’s another little-known pipeline quietly reshaping America’s workforce: Optional Practical Training (OPT). Under OPT, foreign nationals studying in the U.S. on F-1 student visas can remain and work for U.S. companies during their studies or even after graduation. In […]
President Trump recently suggested the U.S. could admit up to 600,000 Chinese students to study at American universities. The White House later clarified that there were no plans to expand F-1 visa issuance and that these numbers were cumulative over two years. Still, the proposal has sparked debate over whether this move strengthens or undermines […]
Last week, Strong Borders President Chris Russo touched on the organization that has thrown a wrench in the displacement of American workers at our largest companies.

Left-wing media has created a narrative that sick American children were deported to Honduras. Secretary of State Marco Rubio debunked this false narrative. The mainstream media painted a picture of a frightened mother who was unable to make necessary medical arrangements for her American-born son suffering from cancer before they were deported back to Honduras.

Mass migration, legal and illegal, has fundamentally transformed the texture of life in our state. For an example, look no further than this video recently taken at a Costco in Frisco, Texas: There is a phenomenon taking place all over the world that everywhere could justifiably be mistaken for anywhere. When I visited Istanbul in […]
There is a growing screwworm outbreak in Central America that is endangering livestock and wildlife. This outbreak underscores the need to increase border security to keep it away from Texas. Should the outbreak make it to Texas ranches, it would be detrimental to the Texas economy, costing billions of dollars in losses. State Representative Ryan […]
In 1990, Congress passed legislation allowing employers to hire aliens and pay them significantly lower wages than qualified American workers. The bill’s designers used carefully crafted words to make it sound like it offers protection for American jobs and wages, but actually masks the truth and allows employers to bring in foreign workers and pay […]
