About 8 in 10 Americans, 79 percent, say immigration is “a good thing” for the country today, an increase from 64 percent a year ago and a high point in the nearly 25-year trend. Only about 2 in 10 US adults say immigration is a bad thing right now,

The Trump administration on Thursday issued sweeping new rules barring illegal immigrants from a host of federal welfare benefits, including food stamps, Title X family planning funds, homelessness assistance,

Here’s where things stand with the Trump administration and immigration: According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in the first 100 days of the administration there were a “record-breaking” number of migrants arrested, at more than 66,000, and nearly the same number removed from the country.
