TRUMP SLASHES LEGAL MIGRATION, ILLEGAL CROSSINGS COLLAPSE | CHARLIE KIRK SHOW | OCTOBER 15, 2026
New Cato Institute data through February 2026 shows the Trump administration cut monthly legal entries by roughly 145,000—2.7 times more than the drop in illegal entries (~53,000). About 73% of the overall reduction came from legal pathways, not border crossings.
Hosts Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff break down the data and what it means for America First priorities.
Audience question: Do the steeper cuts to legal immigration strengthen the country by prioritizing citizens and legal residents, or risk economic and family costs? Drop your take in the comments.
