Increased Immigration is Not A Simple Solution for US Population Woes
By Steven Camarota
RealClearPolicy, June 8, 2021

Excerpt: Conventional wisdom has developed that the United States desperately needs more immigration to address the supposed twin evils of population aging and slowing population growth. The 2020 Census showing the U.S. grew by "only" 22.7 million over the last decade has prompted a new round of calls to expand immigration. In fact, immigration does not make the population substantially younger unless the level is truly enormous and ever-increasing. Moreover, there is no body of research showing that higher rates of population growth necessarily make a country richer on a per-person basis. Advocates of mass immigration also ignore the downsides of larger populations, as well as the more effective and less extreme alternatives that exist for dealing with an aging society.

So why is the Southwest border seemingly open to unscreened aliens entering illegally, and why so many other foreign nationals with visas are free to come here via other ports of entry.

Biden Administration Accidentally Does Something Useful in the Migration Business
By David North
The Department of Education has taken a step to put out of business a controversial accreditation agency long known for having low standards when judging colleges, including those known for giving visas and work permits to all aliens who apply, but giving the "students" very little education.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do: Guatemala Edition
By Mark Krikorian
In Guatemala yesterday, Vice President Harris begged the people of Central America to stop causing her administration such political problems at the border. She managed to get through her speech without breaking out into one of her cringe-inducing laughs, but I don’t expect Guatemalans were likewise able to keep straight faces.

‘Undocumented’ with Documents: Immigration newspeak causes linguistic embarrassment
By Robert Law
Much to my amusement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) somehow slipped through the cracks and for months into the Biden administration continued using proper terminology instead of immigration newspeak. Eventually the word police caught up to CBP and they were ordered to adopt the language preferences used by the sister agencies.
