What's Happening at the Center
In the midst of this unprecedented shutdown of American life, the Center remains as active as ever, producing incisive analysis on all the latest immigration developments related to the Wuhan coronavirus. Mark Krikorian explains ([link removed]) that, unbelievably, industries are using this crisis to request more foreign worker visas, citing school closures that are preventing employees from going to work. There was also a push to slip a big increase of EB-5 visas, which go overwhelmingly to wealthy Chinese investors, into the emergency stimulus bill. Jessica Vaughan explains ([link removed]) that, just as the State Department has suspended visas for many exchange programs, the admission of all temporary workers should be suspended. Dr. Nayla Rush reveals ([link removed]) that refugees were still being resettled
during the outbreak. And Andrew Arthur, along with our other writers, continues ([link removed]) to cover the decisions that are being made. Stay with the Center for all the latest.

Refugees Are Being Resttled Despite the Coronavirus Outbreak ([link removed])
By Nayla Rush
Following the alarming spread of the Coronavirus or COVID-19 that appeared in China in December 2019, the world is taking extreme measures to try and contain this contagious virus that is mainly transmitted from person to person. Necessary steps undertaken by many countries, including the United States, entail travel restrictions, quarantines, closing of borders, etc.

The Wuhan Wakeup on Immigration and Border Security A movie I have seen before ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
All of a sudden, the world changes. Vague and undefined "existential threats" — be they climate change, quid-pro-quos, or just the president himself — get replaced by more imminent threats. That has been true in immigration in the past — and it is again.
. . .
The president's actions in response to this threat by restricting travel to the United States are consistent with his other efforts to control immigration (especially and in particular unscreened illegal immigration) to the United States to protect the homeland. Now, as before September 11, it is not only good, but responsible, to remember why the immigration laws exist to begin with. Otherwise, we will be sitting through a movie that I have already seen, one that doesn't end well.
Dr. Fauci: Trump China Restrictions Slowed Spread of the Wuhan Flu The known unknowns, and the constant known known ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
On ABC News "This Week" on Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health, indicated that the Trump administration's early decision to ban most travel from China slowed the spread of the Wuhan flu in the United States. Of course, the president was criticized six weeks ago when he made that decision, but that is all too unfortunately to be expected when it comes to Donald Trump and immigration.

WaPo Misses Key Points on Wuhan Flu To flatten the curve, don't clear the detention centers and don't close the courts ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Reducing the number of migrants who enter illegally puts CBP in a better position to medically screen those it apprehends, and can send migrants who need to be quarantined to NCEZID border "Q stations". To reduce the number of migrants, DHS needs to detain aliens who have entered illegally, and the immigration courts need to adjudicate their cases as quickly as possible. For that reason, the government should reject calls to limit detention or close non-detained immigration courts.
