Legal Immigration from Majority-Muslim Nations Cut 96% Since 2024
Original: Legal Immigration from Majority-Muslim Nations Was Cut 96% Since 2024
The Cato Institute reports that legal immigration from majority-Muslim countries has fallen 96% since 2024, a steep drop attributed to policy changes under the current US administration, including travel restrictions and sharply reduced visa issuance. Immigration advocates and researchers are citing the figure as evidence of a sweeping contraction in lawful pathways, while supporters of the restrictions argue the measures fulfill campaign commitments on national security.
Why now: The dramatic 96% reduction statistic quantifies the real-world impact of recent immigration policy changes, sparking debate over fairness, security and the scale of the shift.
