Supreme Court Seems Open to Trump Request to Block Asylum Seekers at Border

A majority of Supreme Court justices seemed sympathetic on Tuesday to the idea that the Trump administration should be able to turn away asylum seekers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

If the court backs the administration, it will allow President Trump to revive a policy first used in 2016, in which the government stopped asylum seekers from setting foot on U.S. soil, where federal law would entitle them to try to claim asylum and receive protection from persecution.

Under federal law, any noncitizen who is “physically present in the United States” or “arrives in the United States” can apply for asylum. Migrants who announce their intention to do so are then referred for an interview to determine whether they have a credible fear of persecution.

Hispanic Mass Migration and Remigration (Part 1)

Mass immigration, driven by elites, has fractured national cohesion—only deliberate reversal, not drift, can restore sovereignty and social trust in the West.

At White Papers, our core premise is that Western nations deserve to protect their sovereignty, their political institutions, and their founding demography, and to build a future free from interference by alien cultures or hostile elites. The reality is that the nations of the West are at risk. The peoples native to Europe and those who founded Western nations like America are at risk of becoming minorities in their homelands after decades of unwanted mass immigration, facilitated by our own elite political class. In some cases, this was done for ideological reasons (globalism). In other cases, it was to drive down the cost of labor for short-term gains. The inevitable and necessary result of these anti-democratic immigration policies by the postwar liberal establishment is a growing political movement that has risen to reject the premise of continued mass immigration and, crucially, to reverse these trends.

‘Sympathy is always for the migrant – never for the people paying for them’

All across the West, immigration is consistently named as one of the most pressing concerns of our time. Mass migration has transformed societies. Illegal migration has made a mockery of national citizenship. A populist backlash is upending our politics. And yet, artists and intellectuals have shied away from an honest reckoning with this. Migration is only ever portrayed positively, and the growing public discontent against it is framed as a nativist, racist or even fascist peril. Lionel Shriver’s new novel, A Better Life, dares to ask the forbidden question: what happens when migration isn’t entirely positive for the people on the receiving end?

Our New Ungracious Immigrants

Silicon Valley was energized by legal immigrants from all over the world who founded eBay, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Stripe, Sun Microsystems, Tesla, Yahoo, and a host of others.

The Greek American Elia Kazan’s 1963 film America, America is a fictional account based on the Herculean struggle of the director’s uncle to immigrate to the United States from an impoverished and hostile Turkish Anatolia.

The film summed up Americans’ traditional view of immigrants: They had risked everything for the chance to reach America, and once there, became hyperpatriotic in their gratitude for the magnanimity of their new hosts.

Open Borders and the Modern State’s God Complex

It is impossible to understand our approach to matters of immigration and asylum except through the lens of political theology. We are in the grip of a politicised and secularised obsession with redemption. The asylum-seeker comes to our shores and, wherever he is from, whatever his background, and whatever he has done or might in future do, we stand ready to wash him clean and welcome him in as chosen of God. That the people who are most in thrall to this vision are almost invariably atheists is precisely the point: “All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularised theological concepts.” It is through the death of God, the killing indeed of God, that the state – and hence, man – is made the vehicle of redemption.

Two-Thirds of Immigrants Entering Germany Have No Documents

Two-thirds of asylum seekers who entered Germany last year had no proof of identity. Almost all refugees from African countries were unable to present any identifying documents, according to asylum figures released by the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Authorities registered 113,236 refugees over the age of 18 who applied for asylum for the first time last year. According to the Interior Ministry, 74,089 of them had no identity documents. That represents 65.4%, the highest percentage ever recorded.

Merkel Blasted for Calling on Migrants to Vote Against Populist AfD Party

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has drawn criticism for calling on migrants in Germany to vote against the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Merkel, who served as the architect of the European Migrant Crisis in 2015, when she unilaterally decided to open the EU’s borders to unprecedented waves of foreigners from the Middle East and Africa, resulting in dramatic demographic transformations in her country and across the continent, appears to have let the cat out of the bag as to her motivation for doing so.

More Mexicans were deported annually under Biden than by Trump

MEXICO CITY — The Trump administration has launched an unprecedented immigration enforcement operation across the U.S. to deport people there illegally, but data compiled by a Mexican investigative outlet show that deportations of Mexicans were lower last year than in each of the previous four years.

Under the Biden administration, deportations of Mexicans per year reached nearly 300,000. Since President Trump returned to the White House last January, the U.S. has deported a little over 144,000 Mexicans to their homeland by the end of 2025, according to Mexican government data.

It’s Not Racist to be a “Culturist”

In Fact, it is Racist Not to Be

We are living in a time of all-out cultural war.

But you are not supposed to mention that or to talk about it, because you will at once be labelled “racist.”

I will argue, though, that this is a dangerous rhetorical tactic to accept.

I will note that it is racist, in fact, not to face the fact that we are in a battle of cultures.

Pope Leo, Lampedusa, and The Camp of the Saints

On his native country’s 250th anniversary, Pope Leo XIV will visit Lampedusa, an Italian sovereign territory off the North African coast that has long been a destination for migrants seeking to enter Europe. In 2013, Pope Francis made it his first papal destination outside Rome. Publication of Pope Leo’s official calendar recalled Vice President JD Vance’s personal invitation to the United States for the anniversary festivities, an invitation the pope seems to have declined. Adding fuel to the fire, unconfirmed Spanish media reports soon thereafter claimed that Pope Leo “warned the [Spanish] bishops that his greatest concern in Spain is the far right that is trying to ‘instrumentalize the Church.’”

40% of New UK Homes Could House Migrants by 2030

New analysis from the Conservative Party warns that nearly four in ten newly built homes in the UK by 2030 may be required to accommodate incoming migrants. Drawing on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the report estimates that net migration between 2026 and 2030 will reach almost 1.2 million people, creating demand for roughly 500,000 additional homes.

The OBR projects that around 1.34 million new homes will be delivered over the same period, meaning that 37.1% of all housing could be allocated to new arrivals, with the proportion rising to nearly 40% by 2030.

How Federal Law Enforcement Rescued Memphis From Third-World Murder Stats

A few days ago, I was driving through downtown Memphis to go to dinner with my wife when we passed a group of National Guard soldiers out on patrol. This has become an altogether frequent and welcome sight here in Bluff City, and the Guard’s positive effect has been widely felt.

There’s been a lot of national discussion and commentary about the presence of soldiers in our city, but the truth is clear for those here on the ground. Walk around Memphis today and the community feels transformed.

Ireland’s demographic experiment is reaching crisis point

Ireland has grown more diverse in recent years, and so has the country’s variety of recorded crimes. In 2022, two gay men were murdered in Sligo by the son of Iraqi-Kurdish refugees. In 2023, three children were stabbed at random in Dublin; the attacker only spoke Arabic to his translator in the following trial. In October 2025, a Kuwaiti national pleaded guilty to the murder of his eight-year-old daughter in Wexford the previous year. A more modest addition to this catalogue of horrors happened last November in Cork, when a man walked past a woman and elbowed her in the face, knocking her unconscious. She sustained a broken eye socket, while her attacker remains at large.
