Report
Less-Educated U.S.-Born Workers Do Better When Immigration Is Lower ([link removed])
Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler, May 9, 2023
Excerpt: This analysis shows that real (inflation-adjusted) median weekly earnings for U.S.-born workers without a bachelor’s degree increased more quickly during the period of lower legal and illegal immigration from 2016 to 2019 than in the earlier and later periods, which experienced higher immigration.
Commentary
What happened to Kamala’s push to fix ‘root causes’ of border crisis? ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian
New York Post, May 5, 2023
Excerpt: It should be clear by now that the focus on root causes was just a PR stunt, to make it appear as though the administration were responding constructively to the border crisis without actually, you know, enforcing the law.

Immigration Depresses Wages? That’s Not Happening ... and It’s Good That It Is ([link removed])
By Jason Richwine
National Review, May 4, 2023
Excerpt: I’m reminded of what Rod Dreher and others have observed: the Law of Salutary Contradiction. In response to concerns about some perceived event or trend, the defensive side first insists, “That’s not happening.” Then, a short time later, the same side says, “It’s good that it’s happening.”

I Met Venezuelans Who Are Scamming the Asylum System en Masse to Get Into the U.S ([link removed])
By Todd Bensman
New York Post, May 4, 2023
Excerpt: Venezuelans have been or will be let into America based on the notion that they are directly fleeing Venezuelan government persecution or face some other imminent danger back home. But that widespread narrative is largely a fable.

Mayorkas tells migrants: Don’t break the law! That’s my job! ([link removed])
By George Fishman
New York Post, April 28, 2023
Excerpt: Gallup estimates that more than 750 million adults worldwide would emigrate to another country if they had the opportunity — including 27% of Latin Americans and an eye-popping 63% of Haitians, 52% of Salvadorans, and 47% of Hondurans. President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas seem hell-bent on letting them all in. The law be damned.

Biden to Send More Troops to Southwest Border ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Nothing should disabuse those who believe that Joe Biden has some unseen master plan for securing the border more than the fact that, after 13 months of what DHS Secretary Mayorkas has called “a deliberate and methodical approach to readiness”, the president is calling in the Marines nine days before Title 42 ends.

How Individual Judges Can Help or Hinder Immigration Law Enforcement ([link removed])
By David North
Excerpt: Judges make two kinds of decisions in the immigration field: sweeping ones that rule if an agency action is constitutional or if an agency is misinterpreting the law, and narrower ones about the appropriate penalties in specific cases for breaking the law. We hear more about the broader type of decision than the narrower one, yet both are important.
No Migrant Left Behind: DHS’s Plan to Empty Latin America ([link removed])
By George Fishman
Excerpt: DHS’s “sweeping new actions” in anticipation of the lifting of Title 42 are a blueprint for failure – if their goal is to actually secure the border. However, they are a blueprint for success if their goal is to empty Latin America of its peoples and bring them here.

Biden’s Border Fiasco Costing Local Taxpayers Billions ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: All these tens of billions of dollars in municipal costs to house and care for newly arrived migrants are due to the president and his feckless border policies. Joe Biden could spare local taxpayers even more billions of dollars in additional expenditures tomorrow if he wanted to. He doesn’t.
