What's Happening at the Center
The Center has just published a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter (and Center Fellow) Jerry Kammer. "Losing Control: How a Left-Right Coalition Blocked Immigration Reform and Provoked the Backlash That Elected Trump" ([link removed]) combines on-the-ground-reporting and historical narrative to shed light on the peculiar coalition that thwarted the promises of the immigration reform law enacted by Congress in 1986.
With vivid reporting from Mexico, Central America, Washington, D.C., and across the United States, Kammer shows how both Democrats and Republicans ensured that the 1986 law's ban on hiring illegal immigrants was not enforced, leading to mass illegal immigration and contributing to the anger that enabled Donald Trump to win the presidency. Kammer also explains what it will take to achieve the reforms that Washington has long promised but failed to deliver.
The paperback ([link removed]) is available for $14.99. The electronic version ([link removed]) of the book is set at an introductory price of $1.99, but will go up on July 13.
On Wednesday afternoon, Jerry will be discussing the book with The Atlantic's David Frum on a livestream at Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. See here for details ([link removed]) .

If Black Lives Really Matter, End H1-B Visa Giveaways ([link removed])
By Jessica Vaughan
Inside Sources, June 29, 2020
Excerpt: Rebuffing pleas and threats from tech CEOs and establishment graybeards from Silicon Valley to Cambridge, Massachusetts — as well as some of his swampier advisers — last week President Trump moved to suspend several temporary work visa programs. His goal is to give U.S. workers first crack at the hundreds of thousands of jobs normally taken by foreign workers. Taking place against the backdrop of an emotional national discussion on lingering racism in our society, this move will do more to boost the socio-economic prospects for Black and Latino Americans than all the statue-toppling and virtue-signaling coming from the left.

Refugee Placement and Medical Concerns Amid a Covid-19 Pandemic and an Economic Crisis ([link removed])
By Nayla Rush, July 1, 2020
Excerpt: In March 20, I wrote about the ongoing resettlement of refugees in the United States despite the Covid-19 outbreak. From January 29 — the day the president's Coronavirus Task Force was formed — through June 17, 3,329 refugees of numerous nationalities (including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burma, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Pakistan, Syria, and Iran) were resettled in California, Texas, New York, Michigan, and other states.
Even after U.S. refugee admissions were officially suspended on March 19 following UN agencies' announcement of the temporary suspension of the refugee resettlement program in view of the Covid-19 global health crisis, refugees were still being admitted into the United States, albeit in smaller numbers. On June 18, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the world body's refugee agency) announced "the resumption of resettlement departures for refugees."

Sticking to the Narrative on H-1B ([link removed])

In a previous post I noted how the news coverage of President Trump’s efforts to protect American workers have been predictably attacked in the conglomerate-controlled media. Hank Gilman writing for Newsweek noticed the same.
DHS and DOJ Move to Discard Irrelevant Regulations ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Two weeks ago, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (JNPR) to make various changes to the immigration regulations. It is a shame that the departments did not have time to do more trimming, but what they did do is a model for future deletions of irrelevant provisions.
USCIS Faces Very Serious Budget Crunch as Fee Income Falls ([link removed])
By David North
The time has come to rethink the wisdom of trying to run USCIS largely on application fees, a policy followed, I think, by no other immigration agency in the world.
