Did the DACA Ruling Bury Constitutionalism?
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.

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.

The 2020 USCIS Ombudsman Report: A Book Review
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.
