In his latest commentary, in the international affairs journal The National Interest ([link removed]) , Mark Krikorian explains that the Biden administration's legislative proposal to legalize virtually all illegal aliens and enact a variety of measures to weaken immigration enforcement and increase legal immigration beyond the current level of about one million a year may never be introduced in Congress and has no chance of passage. Targeted legislative measures are more likely if they include meaningful reform, such as the mandatory use of E-Verify and a prohibition on state and local sanctuary policies. In the absence of these tradeoffs, expect more executive actions to increase admissions and weaken enforcement.

Federal Judge Blocks Biden's 100-Day 'Pause' on Removals: When 'shall' means 'shall'; individual positions on nationwide injunctive relief will likely switch ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Judge Drew B. Tipton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued a temporary restraining order yesterday blocking implementation of a 100-day "pause" on the removal of most aliens subject to final orders of removal, announced by DHS on January 20. Those who were or, conversely were not, fans of injunctive relief in the last administration will likely find their opinions have changed.
