Immigration policy continues to shape public debate across the United States. Enforcement of federal laws has been expanded in 2026, supported by new funding and broader collaboration with state and local agencies. Recent legal rulings also allow the government to end temporary protections from deportation for certain immigrant groups.

At the same time, studies continue to recognize the role of immigrants in America’s development. Immigrants expand the workforce, support consumer spending, create businesses, and contribute to innovation. More than 40% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children.
