Report
(Chief Justice) Roberts’ Rules of Reliance
By George Fishman, August 28, 2023
Summary: A new report illustrates the pitfalls an administration faces in terminating a prior administration’s programs, even unlawful ones, as a consequence of the Supreme Court’s 2020 decision in DHS v. Regents of the University of California. But the report shows that administrations that learn the lessons of Regents can successfully terminate ill-advised and/or unlawful programs.

Biden’s big lie about the border exposed
By Mark Krikorian
New York Post, September 1, 2023
Excerpt: The Biden administration has its own Baghdad Bob — White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Some of her pronouncements are just silly, like her claim that the decrepit President Biden has so much energy “I can’t even keep up with him.” But this week’s howler was a much more consequential lie.
Ukrainian Refugees Are Not Like the Others
An overwhelmingly female flow presents unique challenges for integration
By Nayla Rush
National Interest, September 3, 2023
Excerpt: Ukrainian refugee women who fled without their husbands are faced with new responsibilities. They have to manage alone and find employment while taking care of dependent family members who traveled with them (mainly children and elderly people and, in some cases, people with special needs), while also supporting family members who stayed behind. These challenges can become overwhelming; some end up choosing to return, trading safety in a foreign land for the familiarity of home. Ten percent of all Ukrainian refugees who left following the February 2022 Russian attack have returned home from abroad, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Why Is Washington Targeting Hungary’s Legal Travelers?
By Viktor Marsai
National Interest, August 28, 2023
Excerpt: The Biden administration introduced a new regulation during the summer of 2023: since it could not cope with the illegal immigration crisis on the southwest border of the United States, Washington is aiming to cut back legal arrivals from one of its NATO allies: Hungary.
America Overrun, America Transformed
By Phillip Linderman
American Conservative, August 30, 2023
Excerpt: Overrun is a fire-bell ringing in the night. A White House that erases national borders, ignores federal laws, and refuses to expel illegal arrivals is on a mission to fundamentally change the country. While the country’s situation is dire, even desperate, Overrun also offers crucial policy fixes, most notably the need to “tear down and rebuild the American asylum system.”

Biden Has a Major Problem with Migrant Kids
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The president has any number of problems at the Southwest border, but the biggest one involves “unaccompanied alien children” (UACs), that is, migrant kids entering illegally alone, without adult supervision.
Biden’s CHNV Parole Program — Ripe for Human Exploitation
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Since taking office, President Biden has ignored congressional mandates that require DHS to detain illegal border migrants and instead has released — at least — 2.2 million of them into the United States. Biden is now completely ignoring Congress’ annual immigration limits by bringing in up to 360,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan nationals per year who are nowhere near the border under his “CHNV” parole program.

It’s No Secret — Biden’s Hiding Bad Border Numbers
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Court-ordered disclosures in Texas and Border Patrol’s statistics reveal that 2,289,990 illegal migrants encountered by CBP at the Southwest border have been released into the United States, nearly all in violation of law. Add in the inadmissible aliens encountered by OFO at the Southwest border ports since July 2022 who were issued NTAs, and that number exceeds 2.6 million, not counting ICE releases, which could push the total above 2.7 million.
Follow-On Points About Those Missing Border Uzbeks
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Disrupting terrorist activities starts at the border as the later (and more competent) 9/11 Commission found. But despite the administration’s protestations to the contrary, the Southwest border is open, and our enemies know it. If you don’t believe the border’s open, ask the missing Uzbek migrants — assuming our government ever finds them.
