By George Fishman, December 8, 2025

Vetting in All the Wrong Places
By Mark Krikorian, December 2, 2025
Excerpt: Prudence suggests that we just need to reduce immigration. If you’re looking for a needle in a haystack, the first step should be to get a smaller haystack. President Trump’s announcement that he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” is unlikely to be as sweeping as that suggests — will we stop admitting people from India and China and Mexico? Probably not. Instead, we need a more moderate level of immigration permanently and from all countries. That will enable us to do a better job at weeding out bad apples with the limited vetting tools at our disposal, and failures — which are inevitable — will be fewer in number.

They were not U.S. “allies,” nor were they “persecuted” individuals in need of refugee resettlement. This raises a fundamental question: Why did the prior administration choose to open the door (and keep it wide open) to hundreds of thousands of Afghans who were not at risk, despite the clear limitations of our vetting capacity of these individuals? And how many more Rahmanullah Lakanwals are there, time-bombs waiting to turn against the country that welcomed them?
Immigration Judges Issued Nearly 500K Removal Orders in FY 2025
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Why is ICE arresting so many alleged “non-criminal” aliens? Because the law now requires it to detain all aliens under final orders of removal — criminals and not — and immigration judges are issuing final orders of removal at a historical pace. Expect all of that to continue.
