政治右翼势力对白宫相关账号发布的图表感到欢欣鼓舞。该图表显示,来自穆斯林人口占多数的国家的合法移民数量几乎已经完全停止。
The political right celebrated after a White House X account posted a graph showing that legal immigration to the U.S. from nations with Muslim majority populations has all but halted.
该账号指出,自2024年以来,来自这些国家的合法移民数量减少了96%,并附上了卡托研究所(Cato Institute)提供的图表。卡托研究所是一家以支持移民政策而闻名的智库。
The account highlighted a 96 percent cut in legal immigration from majority-Muslim countries since 2024 and attached a graph from the Cato Institute, a notoriously pro-immigration think tank.
图表显示,从2025年1月唐纳德·特朗普正式上任起,来自这些国家的移民人数每季度都在急剧下降;在乔·拜登执政的最后一年(2024年底),移民人数也出现了类似的趋势。
The graph showed a drastic decline in quarterly admissions of immigrants from those countries beginning in January 2025, when President Donald Trump officially took office.
美国确实需要劳动力,但特朗普的政策严重削减了合法移民的数量。根据图表数据,2024年7月至10月期间,来自穆斯林人口占多数国家的移民人数每月超过2.2万人;而到了今年1月初,这一数字已降至接近零。在网上,政治右翼势力对这一显著变化表示热烈欢迎:“这绝对是美国人民的巨大胜利,多亏了特朗普总统!”德克萨斯州共和党众议员布兰登·吉尔(Brandon Gill)说。
It also declined in late 2024, the last year of former President Joe Biden's tenure in office. AMERICA NEEDS WORKERS, BUT TRUMP'S POLICIES ARE SHARPLY CUTTING LEGAL IMMIGRATION At its peak, immigration from Muslim-majority nations was over 22,000 people per month between July and October of 2024, according to the graph. But by the beginning of January of this year, that number had dropped to almost zero. Online, the political right cheered the drastic shift.
“这些就是我们需要持续取得的成果,”德克萨斯州第23选区的共和党国会候选人布兰登·埃雷拉(Brandon Herrera)表示。
“还差4%就达到了目标!感谢特朗普总统!”佛罗里达州共和党众议员兰迪·芬(Randy Fine)说。
"Absolutely incredible victory for the American people, thanks to POTUS," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, said "These are the wins we need to continue to deliver on," Brandon Herrera, the GOP nominee for Congress in Texas' 23rd District.
“让我们为所有类型的移民鼓劲加油!”专栏作家库尔特·施利希特(Kurt Schlichter)写道。
"4 percent to go! Thank you, President Trump," said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla.
随着共和党和民主党在全国范围内为控制政权而展开激烈竞争,2026年中期选举的准备工作已经全面展开。一些人将这张图表视为对共和党领导层表现的一次“全民公投”,并敦促保守派选民在选举中投票——尽管他们仍对生活成本、伊朗战争以及其他问题感到担忧(这些问题曾导致特朗普受到党内成员的批评)。
"Let’s pump up those rookie numbers for every category of immigrant," columnist Kurt Schlichter 100 DAY SPRINT TO THE MIDTERMS KICKS OFF AS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CLASH FOR CONTROL ACROSS THE COUNTRY Some turned the graph into a referendum on the results of Republican leadership, and urged conservatives to vote during the 2026 midterm elections despite concerns about cost-of-living, the Iran war, and other issues for which Trump has been knocked by members of his own party.
“我当初投票支持特朗普,现在也会再次投票支持他,”用户大卫·哈里森(David Harrison)写道。
"I voted for this—and will again," user David Harrison.
“下次当你想要‘惩罚共和党’时,请记住:民主党人随时可能在一夜之间改变这一切,”Turning Point Action组织的本·拉拉比(Ben Larrabee)说道。
"The next time you get the urge to 'punish the GOP.' Remember that Democrats will reverse this overnight," Turning Point Action's Ben Larrabee.
“那些指责特朗普和共和党对这个问题毫无作为的人,其实才是受影响最严重的人——他们简直就是这些政策的直接受害者,”网络红人詹姆斯·林赛(James Lindsay)评论道。
"People screaming that Trump and the GOP aren't doing anything about this problem [are] hardest hit, like squarely between the eyes," online personality James Lindsay of the graph.
乔纳森·特利(Jonathan Turley)表示:“最高法院为特朗普赢得了一个在边境政策上的胜利;自由派人士对此无话可说。‘请像认为整个西方文明都取决于这次选举一样去投票吧,因为事实确实如此,’”Turning Point USA组织的发言人安德鲁·科尔维特(Andrew Kolvet)说。
JONATHAN TURLEY: SUPREME COURT HANDS TRUMP A BORDER VICTORY LIBERALS CAN'T SPIN "Vote like Western Civilization depends on it, because it does," Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet.
不过,并不是所有人都对这一群体合法移民数量的下降感到高兴。卡托研究所(Cato Institute)的移民研究主任大卫·J·比尔(David J. Bier)就是其中之一;他正是这项研究的主要负责人。他在回复中表示:“感谢你引用我的研究成果,但你的行为违反了法律,正在伤害美国人,同时让这个国家变得不安全、不自由、也不繁荣。”
Not everyone was thrilled with the decline in legal immigration from this demographic, though, including David J. Bier, who is the director of immigration studies at Cato and who took credit for the research behind the graph. "Thanks for citing my work. You are violating the law and harming Americans while making the country less safe, less free, and less prosperous," he in reply.
尽管比尔如此声称,但目前还没有任何法院裁定特朗普减少合法移民数量的举措是“非法的”——不过确实有一些相关诉讼在地方法院提起。
Despite Bier's claim, no court has decided that Trump's move to reduce is "illegal," though there have been challenges in district courts.
在特朗普执政的第一个任期内,他提出的针对穆斯林多数国家的旅行限制政策曾受到挑战:该政策最初被夏威夷联邦地方法院裁定为非法,随后又被两个联邦上诉法院维持原判。不过,最终最高法院在“夏威夷诉特朗普案”(Hawaii v. Trump)中裁定特朗普的政策是合法的。
During his first term in office, Trump faced a challenge to his proposed travel restrictions from Muslim-majority countries. The policy was enjoined by the federal district court for the District of Hawaii, and upheld by two federal appellate courts However, the Supreme Court ultimately decided in Hawaii vs. Trump that Trump's policy was legal.
