Immigration Isn't an Uncontrollable Force of Nature After All New pre-COVID data shows policy choices caused immigration numbers to drop even as the economy sped up ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian
American Greatness, October 27, 2020
Excerpt: New data from the Census Bureau shows that during the first two years of President Trump's administration, a time of rapid job growth and historically low unemployment, immigration went down. How is that possible? As the quote above suggests, we've been told for years, both by Democrats and Republicans, that immigration is an unstoppable natural force, like the tides or continental drift.

There Really Has Been a ‘Trump Effect’ on Immigration: ([link removed]) And some American workers seem to have benefited ([link removed])
By Dr. Steven Camarota
National Review, October 28, 2020
Excerpt: Recently released Census Bureau data from the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) show that in the first two years of the Trump administration, growth in the immigrant population (legal and illegal) averaged only about 200,000 a year, which stands in stark contrast with the roughly 650,000 a year from 2010 to 2017.

Recent Immigration Slowdown May Have Helped Reverse Decades-Long Decline in Labor-Force Participation ([link removed])
By Dr. Steven Camarota
National Review, October 30, 2020
Excerpt: There is no question that the number of new arrivals fell and growth slowed in the immigrant population after 2016. This falloff has been accompanied by a significant improvement in labor-force participation among native-born Americans — particularly among the less-educated.

Why Aren't Refugees Being Tested for Covid-19?: President Trump has the authority to add it to the list of 'quarantinable diseases' to mandate testing prior to resettlement ([link removed])
By Dr. Nayla Rush, October 29,. 2020
Summary: By law, people moving to the United States are required to be tested for "quarantinable communicable diseases" prior to their arrival. The CDC has labeled Covid-19 as a "quarantinable communicable disease" requiring a suspension of entry into the U.S of people from certain countries. Despite this, refugees are not required to be tested for Covid-19 before being brought here for resettlement. President Trump can remedy this by issuing an executive order specifically adding Covid-19 to the list of "quarantinable communicable diseases" last updated by President Obama in 2014.

How Immigration Worsens Poverty-Related Problems in Minnesota: Immigrant households account for 35 percent of child poverty in the state ([link removed])
By Jason Richwine
Minnesota is not a high-immigration state relative to the U.S. as a whole, but the socioeconomic divide found there between immigrants and natives is so large that immigration's contribution to the state's poverty-related problems is especially notable.

The Recurring Coronavirus Coincidence: As Mexican Hospitals Collapse, American Border Ones Fill ([link removed])
By Todd Bensman
In El Paso County across from Juarez, Mexico, hospitals once again are buckling under the weight of a new Covid-19 case influx of 300 percent in just the past three weeks, drawing intense media coverage in recent days. Hospitals in California's border-hugging Imperial Valley are jammed with patients, too, transporting "hundreds" of them to interior hospitals to keep their beds clear for more. And in the Arizona-Mexico border counties of Yuma and Santa Cruz, hospitals also are suffering Covid-19 case surges.
Astounding Asylum Numbers in DOS Refugee Report for FY 2021: Almost 1.15 million aliens in the United States are seeking asylum — enough to make them the 43rd largest state ([link removed])
By Andrew Arthur
The numbers don't lie — America, synonymous in many minds with asylum, has an asylum problem. Most Americans, however, likely have no idea how large that problem is. And no one has a permanent plan to address it.

Why 'Low-immigration, Pro-immigrant' is more than a slogan — it's a credo ([link removed])
By Andrew Arthur, October 28, 2020
I believe in immigration, as do all of my colleagues at the Center. It enriches our society, strengthens our institutions, and makes us a more vibrant nation. The place of immigration in the pantheon of our civic values must be cherished and respected. But that will only happen if it serves the interests — economic and humanitarian — of the American people, as Jordan underscored, which in turn will only happen if it is controlled.
