What's Happening at the Center
The Center just launched an immigration podcast. Parsing Immigration Policy ([link removed]) is a show hosted by Mark Krikorian that will delve into a range of topics that impact every American and immigrant.

In the inaugural episode, President Biden’s First 100 Days ([link removed]) , Krikorian and Robert Law, a former Chief of the Office of Policy and Strategy at USCIS, discuss the major immigration policy changes implemented by the Biden administration. Immigration was not a focal point of the 2020 presidential debate, so many voters are just now discovering what the new administration’s immigration policies entail.

The weekly show will feature researchers at the Center, as well as outside experts, who will explain how we got here and where the country may be headed. New episodes of Parsing Immigration Policy will be available every Thursday morning on Ricochet ([link removed]) , Apple ([link removed]) , Amazon ([link removed]) , Spotify ([link removed]) , Player.fm ([link removed]) , and on our website ([link removed]) .

President Biden’s First 100 Days: Swift Action to Change Immigration Policy ([link removed])
By Robert Law, April 27, 2021
Excerpt: Immigration was not central to the 2020 presidential campaign, so many voters likely did not focus on what Joe Biden would do regarding it as president. With the 100th day of his administration approaching on Friday, the Center for Immigration Studies has sought to fill that information gap by publishing a detailed review and analysis of immigration policy actions taken since January 20.

An open letter to Biden appointees at ICE: Don't be the fall guy ([link removed])
The anti-enforcement agenda you've been forced to carry out was developed by opponents of national borders ([link removed])
By Jon Feere
Washington Times, April 26, 2021
Excerpt: As an ICE official in the prior administration, I recognize that a change in management means a change in practices. But I am concerned you are being used by the Biden administration to advance policies that your leadership knows will endanger the lives of countless people. The sooner you demand a change of course, the better it will be for public safety and your own conscience.

Why Are Central American Migrants Entering Illegally? The ‘pull factors’ that are driving illegal immigration, and how they can be easily stopped ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Migrants enter illegally for many different reasons. Push factors (such as poverty, crime, and corruption) in their home countries definitely give them an impetus to leave. But U.S. laws and policies have created much stronger pull factors, which encourage those migrants to leave their homes and enter illegally.
