Welfare Use by Immigrants and the U.S.-Born Comparing program use by foreign- and U.S.-born-headed households ([link removed])
By Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, December 19, 2023
Excerpt: Analysis of this data shows both immigrants and the U.S.-born make extensive use of means-tested anti-poverty programs, with immigrant households significantly more likely to receive benefits. This is primarily because the American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants.

Commentary
Mexico’s president rolls Biden, gives US worse than nothing on border ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
New York Post, December 29, 2023
Excerpt: The president’s only hope was for AMLO to bail out his failing policies by agreeing to control the flow of migrants passing through Mexico to the United States. His Mexican counterpart — a “fiery populist” — refused. That’s why the readout from that meeting is heavy on platitudes but unbearably light on substance.

Biden is breaking the border on purpose — he wants mass amnesty ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
New York Post, December 19, 2023
Excerpt: The backlog of pending cases in the nation’s immigration courts has hit 3 million, as millions of border migrants have been released into the United States to seek asylum in the past three years. It’s a shocking figure, but just the latest example of President Biden’s efforts to break the immigration enforcement system, likely to force a massive amnesty he has long sought.

The Slapdash, Court-Ordered 1982 Regulation that Drives Biden’s Parole Policies ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The administration’s abuse of parole is facilitated by a 1982 district court order in a case dealing with a past migrant surge — this one of Haitians arriving by boat. The resulting regulation was promulgated in a slapdash manner, and that it is no longer valid given amendments to the parole statute in 1996.

Texas Governor Signs Bill Making Illegal Entry a State Crime ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) held a press conference this week at the Southwest border in the state’s Rio Grande Valley to sign Senate Bill (SB) 4 into law. Among other things, SB 4 makes it a state crime for an alien to enter Texas “directly from a foreign nation” without seeking admission at a port of entry.

What Did DHS Do with the 169 Border Aliens on Terror Watchlist Nabbed in FY 2023? ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Given the surge in migrants entering the United States illegally on the terrorist watchlist, and warnings by the FBI director that recent Hamas attacks in Israel could inspire terrorist actors in the United States, it’s incumbent on Congress to get to the bottom of what’s happening—and to assess whether the 2004 Ridge Memo guidelines are impeding national security.

Fifth Circuit Blocks Admin from Cutting Texas Border Fence ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Why is the Biden administration wasting limited resources fighting to remove one of the few impediments keeping aliens from entering illegally? It’s a valid question, because thus far it’s losing this fight, both in the federal courts and in the court of public opinion.
