Two news items from last week point to where US immigration enforcement is headed: 1) the number of foreign-born people in the country fell by 1.5 million in the first six months of 2025, and 2) ICE is on track to deport just 400,000 illegal immigrants for the whole year. NY Post associated editorial page editor Seth Barron shares this story.
The obvious conclusion: A lot more illegal migrants are self-deporting than being expelled — which is surely how most Americans want things to proceed, and a lot more practical than any kind of mass round-ups.
