Some great news on the immigration front.

My favorite comment on this one:

🤣🤣🤣

There will be enough to go around, don't you worry!

Turns out when you actually enforce the laws, stop handing out free hotel rooms and airline tickets, and make it clear that showing up illegally doesn't come with a golden ticket to the American dream and all the benefits one could ask for, a whole bunch of people decide the adventure isn't worth it and they leave.

From the article:

From January to March, American immigration judges processed 80,000 voluntary departure orders, per a report from the Vera Institute for Justice. As the Trump administration has embarked on plans to deport illegal immigrant criminals, they have also encouraged those who are in the US illegally to leave of their own accord. Seventy percent of those were in immigration detention when they came up with the idea to leave on their own rather than wait for their court date.

That Vera Institute for Justice isn't exactly a right-wing think tank either, so don't go thinking this is some propaganda. This is 80,000 illegals leaving our country in just the first quarter of 2026. Do some math there on your own, please, because it's hypothetical when you apply it to years and decades and I do not have time for that.

Don't forget this important bit of information, libs: These people are more than welcome to come back to America.

They'll just have to do it the right way and migrate legally.
