The U.S. Border Patrol released a grand total of zero illegal migrants into the country during the month of May, demonstrating the rapid decline in illegal migration since President Donald Trump returned to office.

In what the administration is describing as the “fastest improvement in American border security of all time,” not a single illegal migrant was released into the U.S. in May, according to newly-released data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson is sounding the alarm about the deficit impact of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” raising the prospect that he will ultimately vote against the president’s landmark bill.

Johnson released a long-hyped report on the fiscal impact of President Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill Wednesday morning, arguing the legislation would add to the national debt even in high economic growth scenarios and fail to put the country on a path toward shrinking budget deficits. The fiscal hawk and known critic of Washington’s alleged failure to rein in government spending told reporters Tuesday that he’s informed leadership he will vote against the budget package as currently drafted and urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to not put the bill on the floor before his self-imposed deadline of July 4.

Americans have strongly voiced their desire for tougher illegal-immigration enforcement policies, most notably at election booths and in polls, but recent federal deportation raids appear to have also resulted in the unintended consequence of increasing truancy rates in U.S. schools.  

A recent study by Stanford University Professor Thomas S. Dee shows a 22% increase in truancy in the first two months of this year in the Central Valley region of California – where parents living in the U.S. illegally fear they will be detained, resulting in their child or children returning from school to an empty house.
