What's Happening at the Center
In her latest report, Dr. Nayla Rush explains that state and local governments have no real say over where refugees are placed. Instead, the decision is made almost entirely by nine contractors that are compensated by the State Department to run the program. The flow of federal dollars to these contractors highlights how refugee resettlement has become big business, mostly funded by taxpayers. Provisions in the 1980 Refugee Act that mandated consultations with the states have long been neglected by Washington. President Trump tried to reestablish state authority over resettlement with an executive order, which has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge. The case is one of several lawsuits attempting to give communities a say again in the resettlement process. Dr. Rush's entire report, which includes a list of the nine contractors, is available here.

Members of Congress Ask DHS about Covid Patients from Mexico
By Todd Bensman
National old-media outlets had reported that large influxes of severely ill patients who caught Covid-19 in Mexico were clogging California and Arizona hospitals. But as Covid cases have spiked in those states, and in Texas, and the blame was placed on opening bars and lifting limits on Memorial Day gatherings, those media outlets never again referred to their own earlier reporting about the border influx.

H-1B Developments: One Firm Pays for Anti-White Hiring Practices, Another Sued for Anti-Untouchable Discrimination
By David North
The H-1B program is full of many different kinds of discrimination; it not only excludes U.S. citizens and green card holders from jobs, the hiring is heavily tilted to one nation, India; to the southern (and largely Hindu) part of the nation; to the young; and to males. With the hiring being done largely by Indians, is it any surprise that Indian prejudices along caste lines might play a part as well?


CIS Team Provides Rationale for Border Crossing Differences
By David North 
Although pretty much the same American rules apply to the land border crossings on our north and on our south, the virus-caused restrictions on such traffic seem to be much more effective on the northern border than on the southern one, as we reported earlier.

Good News for Foreign Students: Potential rule impacts only a small share of F-1 visa holders
By Marguerite Telford
If foreign students are working exclusively online, their presence and location will be unknown. This lack of knowledge also increases the potential for foreign students to overstay their visas and become part of the illegal alien population – foreign students already have one of the highest overstay rates of any population. Even greater than the potential for terrorism is the high level of fraud within this visa category. We must have oversight and tracking of this large population.
