What's Happening at the Center
In a recent piece ([link removed]) , Director of Research Steven Camarota dispels the media narrative that DACA workers are vital to the fight against the Wuhan coronavirus. The open-borders Center for American Progress (CAP) claims that 29,000 health care workers are DACA recipients. That number seems high based on a previous analysis ([link removed]) by the Center, but even accepting it means that DACA recipients comprise only 0.2 percent of the nation's 14.8 million health-care workers. And the data shows an additional 352,000 unemployed health-care workers could replace them. In addition, many of the health-care occupations held by DACA workers do not require high levels of training and education. Nearly one-third of the DACA health-care workers identified by CAP are home health and personal care aides. Another seven percent identify as dental assistants. Other
occupations that CAP included in its analysis are animal caretakers, massage therapists, optometrists, and veterinarians. The idea that these workers are all on the "frontlines of the coronavirus response" is ridiculous.

What Can Be Done on Immigration Now ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
This is an unusual time in U.S. immigration history. All non-essential immigration Mexico, Canada, China, and Europe is on hold. The number of migrants apprehended entering illegally is almost historically low, and those being detained are quickly processed and returned. Most non-detained immigration courts are closed. This means that there is much that immigration agencies and their employees can do to prepare for the future.

The Fungible Nature of Federal Relief Funds May Put Money in the Pockets of Illegal Aliens ([link removed])
By Dan Cadman
California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is reportedly considering providing coronavirus relief aid to illegal aliens out of the state coffers. This is something that's also been suggested by House Democrats at the federal level, but appears to be gaining no traction, I'm happy to report. It's a particularly bizarre move when the Los Angeles Times is reporting that the economic damage caused by the virus may completely deplete the state's cash reserves.

Trump Waves in Seasonal Foreign Workers as Pandemic Peaks ([link removed])
By Jessica M. Vaughan
The State Department will not be interviewing most applicants for seasonal guestworker visas under a new policy announced in late March. Aside from the absurdity of bringing in any foreign guestworkers at all at the height of a global pandemic that just threw millions of Americans out of work, this move has re-opened a security and fraud vulnerability in the temporary worker visa program that career homeland security officials have fought for years to close.

Federal Agencies on H-2B: DHS Hits a Home Run, GAO an On Goal ([link removed])
By David North
If this were a report on the nation's vanishing sports pages, the headlines would be that the Department of Homeland Security hit a grand slam homer with its actions on the H-2B foreign worker program (for unskilled, non-ag workers) on April 2, while on the day before the Government Accountability Office scored an own goal.
