Immigration is the most critical issue facing America. In recent weeks, ICE has been busy. There have been lots of raids and approximately 800 daily arrests of illegal immigrants nationwide. The administration wants one million deportations this year. In Los Angeles, this crackdown triggered protests that turned violent. President Trump has now sent National Guard troops and even a small number of Marines to enforce the law. Leftwing agitators in other cities seem to be gearing up for more protests.

Imagine if almost a billion pounds in Universal Credit was being claimed each month by households containing foreign nationals. What if more than three-quarters of a million foreign-born tenants were occupying social housing in this country, with almost half of London’s social housing taken up by this group?

Britain First

1 week ago | douglascarswell.substack.com | Douglas Carswell

Britain’s welfare system is a vital safety net designed to support UK citizens facing financial hardship. Programmes such as Universal Credit, Child Benefit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Housing Benefit, alongside social housing, aim to assist the vulnerable. These programmes were not intended to provide permanent support for non-citizens living at public expense. Increasingly, however, significant numbers of non-UK nationals access these resources, straining public finances.

Britain has become the world's welfare state

Office for Budget Responsibility data suggests that low-skilled immigrants cost the UK nearly £465,000 each by the age of 81, drawing more in benefits than they pay in taxes. Migration Watch UK has argued that immigration imposes a significant net financial burden on the UK, estimating costs ranging from £4 billion to £17 billion annually, with specific figures of £13 billion in 2014/15 and £4.3 billion in 2016/17 based on government data.

2 weeks ago | mspolicy.org | Douglas Carswell

By Douglas CarswellJune 9, 2025Mississippi seems to be doing rather well. Our economy is growing, and according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Mississippi was one of the fastest growing states in the last quarter of 2024. Personal incomes are rising faster than inflation. Our state is heading in the right direction because we’ve got some key policies right. Taxes, notably the state income tax, have been lowered, with eventual income tax elimination in sight.
Mississippi’s new budget is conservative

3 weeks ago | americanthinker.com | Douglas Carswell

At the end of May, Mississippi lawmakers returned for a Special Session to finalize the state’s budget after failing to reach an agreement during the regular session. The result? A more conservative budget. For years, Mississippi’s budgets were decided behind closed doors over a single weekend during the session. Speaker Jason White and the House changed that by demanding an open, public process. Speaker White’s commitment to transparency paid off.
Does America have a Muslim problem?

3 weeks ago | douglascarswell.substack.com | Douglas Carswell

About three and a half million Muslims live in the United States, making up slightly more than 1% of the population. Most are peaceful, law-abiding citizens. Many first-generation Muslim immigrants embody the American Dream, with 46% of those over 25 holding college degrees (compared to 38% of the general population) and 8% owning businesses. At first glance, American Muslims seem to be assimilating well. Successive waves of immigrants to America have been integrated over the years.
