More surprising progress. New York City may be waking from its long migrant-fueld nightmare. Yesterday, the UK Daily Mail ran a story headlined, “NYC to stop giving migrants FREE pre-paid cards worth $18,500 a year.” It seems so simple: Cut off the magnets, and the migrants will be pulled elsewhere.




The Daily Mail did not connect this dot, but I wonder how much New York’s newfound budgetary wisdom has to do with its rational expectation the Trump Administration will soon cut off the federal money spigot.

Plus, Mayor Adams has at times shown sparks of resistance to the Biden migrant scheme, and is under DOJ investigation. Maybe Mayor Adams’s legal problems may soon get some much-needed clarity.

In another exciting development, yesterday the Daily Mail ran another terrific immigration story headlined, “Judge slashes Biden administration policy for undocumented immigrants.”

Yesterday, a U.S. District Court in Texas struck down one of Biden’s most liberal immigration schemes. The so-called 'Keeping Families Together' program allowed illegal spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to apply for a green card without first having to leave the country, creating a greased naturalization skid.

But federal judge Campbell Barker, a Trump appointee, ruled yesterday that the Biden Administration overstepped its authority and stretched the legal interpretation of relevant immigration law “past its breaking point.” No dice.

Progress.
