The Employment Situation of Immigrants and Natives in July 2020: Employment and labor force participation improved more for immigrants
By Steven A. Camarota, Jason Richwine, and Karen Zeigler
CIS Report, August 19, 2020
Summary: An analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of recently released data for July 2020 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the share of immigrants (legal and illegal) unemployed improved more than the share for the native-born, though the unemployment rate remains very high for both groups. In terms of labor force participation rate (share working or looking for work), the percentage of working-age (16-64) natives in the labor force showed no improvement between June and July, while among immigrants it improved somewhat. While workers of every education level have experienced significant job losses since the Covid-19 epidemic began, the situation for workers without a college education is especially bad. It remains extremely difficult to justify the continued entry of new immigrants on the grounds of any "labor shortage".

By David North
Marianas Variety, August 17, 2020
The difficulty with the form shown above is that it caused perhaps thousands of CNMI’s alien workers, those in the CW-1 class, to file for these benefits when they are not eligible for them, and reading between the lines, to apparently cause illegal payments made to many of them.

'Aliens Drop AK-47 Magazines, 740 Rounds of Ammunition at the Border: Not all illegal migrants are just 'looking for a better life'
By Andrew R. Arthur
I am never one to assign base motives to others, but the combination of magazines for powerful firearms and a huge amount of deadly ammunition in the possession of illegal entrants near the border suggests to me that the three individuals were smugglers — likely drug smugglers, but possibly illegal weapon smugglers, instead or as well.
