President Trump is cutting refugee admissions to just 7,500 in 2026—the lowest level in modern history. This bold decision frees ordinary Americans from the crushing burden of endless cheap labor, sparks wage gains, and unclogs housing markets nationwide.
Progressive activists screamed betrayal. They cried that America’s “moral standing” somehow hinges on importing unskilled workers by the hundreds of thousands. Their real motive: protecting a broken system that exploits U.S. taxpayers while undercutting American workers.
No longer. Trump’s order zeroes out mass refugee inflows and reallocates slots to persecuted Afrikaners from South Africa—victims of state-sanctioned discrimination. Every applicant faces the strictest identity checks in history. No loopholes. No back doors.
Under Joe Biden, refugee admissions exploded to 125,000. His agencies morphed the program into a backdoor open-borders scheme, funneling migrants from South America with taxpayer-subsidized housing, welfare, and guaranteed rent payments. Cities buckled under soaring demands on schools, hospitals, and taxpayers.
A federal review confirms the ugly truth: Washington pockets the profits while state and local governments hemorrhage money. Ordinary Americans shoulder the fallout—diluted wages, jammed rental markets, overcrowded classrooms.
When the flood of cheap labor dries up, Americans win. In Nebraska, JBS meatpacking workers just ratified a landmark union contract with significant pay raises, paid sick leave, and pension benefits. Ten years on the job, these hard-working families finally secure a dignified retirement.
Meatpackers and factories can’t undercut American labor when refugees and illegal migrants vanish. Companies are racing to automate, investing millions in robotics and AI. That technology boost expands output, improves safety, and cements the future of U.S. manufacturing.
The economic victory ripples overseas. As America rebuilds its middle class, we’ll strike new trade deals that lift poor countries through commerce—not by draining them of their young workforce. Prosperity through exchange, not population exportation.
Lower refugee admissions also restore law and order. With fewer loopholes, federal agencies can focus resources on dismantling real criminal networks. The recent FBI raid on Kensington’s fentanyl kingpins in Philadelphia proves it: we can protect our citizens when we stop chasing phantoms.
President Trump’s refugee cap is not charity—it’s patriotism. It’s time to rebuild American strength, ensure fair wages, clear the housing logjam, and secure our borders. This decisive action cements our sovereignty and revives the American dream.
