Did the DACA Ruling Bury Constitutionalism? ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian
National Review, August 10, 2020

Excerpt: When the Supreme Court proclaimed that this illegal program had to continue because the administration hadn’t jumped through the right hoops — hoops the prior administration ignored entirely in concocting it in the first place — something broke on the Right. Many in the administration, in Congress, and among the citizenry simply concluded that this is now the only way it’s possible to govern, and that fastidious avoidance of pen-and-phone governance by Republicans would represent unilateral disarmament.

Going after the Employers of Illegal Aliens ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian
National Review, August 10, 2020

Excerpt: Simply arresting a bunch of illegals, and leaving it at that, is both unjust and ineffective.

Stopping the Practice of Citizenship for Sale: Birth tourism in the United States and Canada ([link removed])
By Kevin Berghuis, August 10, 2020

Excerpt: Birth tourism undermines the value of American citizenship; the government can enact several concrete measures to mitigate this abusive practice.

With Choice of Kamala Harris, Biden's Immigration Plans Become Clearer: Expect parole in place before an amnesty — including for criminal aliens ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Joe Biden's choice of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate has made his path to implement a massive amnesty for millions of aliens living in the United States much clearer. Expect a massive "parole in place" (PIP) before an equally massive legalization storm — including for criminal aliens.

The 2020 USCIS Ombudsman Report: A Book Review ([link removed])
By David North
The office, an unusual one in the federal government, is designed as an appellate system for individuals unhappy with USCIS decisions on certain benefit applications. It also makes recommendations (usually gentle, sensible ones) on how USCIS processes could be improved, which occupies most of the text of its most recent report.
