Immigration from Muslim-majority countries down 96%

Donald Trump Used a Pro-Immigration Think Tank’s Own Graph to Show One Shocking Fact About Immigration From Muslim Countries

The Cato Institute spent years pushing for more immigration. Donald Trump just used their own research to prove he shut it down.

And Donald Trump used a pro-immigration think tank’s own graph to show one shocking fact about immigration from Muslim countries. From 22,000 a Month to Nearly Zero.

The White House's official X account dropped a Cato Institute graph showing legal immigration from Muslim-majority countries has fallen 96 percent since Trump took office in January 2025.

At its peak – conveniently timed between July and October 2024, during Biden's final months – immigration from those nations topped 22,000 people per month. By January 2025, it was almost zero. The Left is going to scream "Muslim ban" – they always do.

But here's what actually happened: in June 2018, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Trump v. Hawaii that Trump's travel restrictions from Muslim-majority countries were entirely legal. Chief Justice John Roberts concluded the government had provided sufficient national security justification and that the policy passed constitutional scrutiny.

No court has ruled Trump's current immigration restrictions illegal – there have been district court challenges, but the Supreme Court has already told the country how this argument ends.
