An Appeal To Pragmatism There are areas the administration needs to do much better
Four months in: Trump has achieved the safest recorded border with the lowest invasion rate in at least 60 years. There have been predictable foreign policy hiccups with the way Israel, Russia, Ukraine, China and others behave, but the Administration has successfully put America first, projected real nationalistic sense, and defended actual White interests.

Most importantly, immigration is being tackled. ICE has hit record-high arrests, higher than any previous admin; New York Times reports over 200,000 aliens have been removed; WSJ says 770,000 immigrants in general are gone, 1 million have left the U.S. market. H1Bs down over a quarter, overstays on notice, entry vetting getting tighter.

This is not perfect. The U.S. still admits far too many foreigners and hasn't formally ended birthight citizenship yet. The Big Beautiful Bill introduces a ton of removal and prevention support, which is a positive step forward. Trump's administration overall is a big win, but has many holes to fill and heads to roll.
