On October 20, the White House published its immigration accomplishments. Among them: migration from majority-Muslim countries down 96%, visa issuance for Africa down 89%, and for the Middle East down 81%.
Those are the White House’s own claims, and its chosen measures of success.
Look at what those categories measure: where people come from and the predominant religion of their countries. They do not measure whether those individuals committed crimes.
The administration is selling Americans a story about protection from dangerous people while celebrating sweeping reductions in who gets to come here.
Fewer people from Muslim-majority countries. Fewer visas for Africa and the Middle East. The White House put those outcomes on its scoreboard.
