Congressional Testimony
Dream Deferred: The Urgent Need to Protect Immigrant Youth ([link removed])
Statement of Jessica M. Vaughan before the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, May 8, 2024

Summary: It would be a grave mistake for Congress to give consideration to an amnesty, either for DACA recipients or any other group of illegal aliens, at this time - when the government does not have operational control of the border and is catching and releasing illegal migrants on a mass scale.

Report
Iran and the Alien Enemies Act ([link removed])
By George Fishman, May 7, 2024
Excerpt: The president could utilize the Alien Enemy Act’s detention and removal powers against Iranian nationals (or a subset thereof) as necessary should the United States enter into a declared war with Iran, or should Iran perpetrate or attempt a terrorist attack (or likely even an assassination or assassination attempt) on American soil.

Excerpt: But in the end, Gazans must be regarded as too great a national security threat for a US humanitarian gambit. By all means, do facilitate their exits to friendlier and safer neighborhoods in the region. Provide humanitarian aid. Arrange for medical treatment elsewhere. Send doctors on the US Navy’s Mercy hospital ship. But importing them into the United States as refugees? These are not the people, and this is definitely not the time.

By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The national media is full of pictures of a country pulling itself apart: campus protestors clashing with police; the addicted camped on street corners; and of course, migrants pouring over an insecure border. It’s little wonder Americans see a future full of dread and despair.

By George Fishman
