Share Tweet Share Podcast Evidence That Immigrants Reduce Wages and Job Opportunities for Low-Skill Americans Guest: Jason Richwine Moderator: Mark Krikorian Episode 12 of Parsing Immigration Policy Commentary Wet-Foot/Dry-Foot Is Back — Sort Of By Mark Krikorian National Review, July 14, 2021 This announced policy of turning back illegal aliens apprehended by the Coast Guard, but admitting those who turn themselves in to the Border Patrol, represents a revival of sorts of Clinton’s Wet-Foot/Dry-Foot policy, wherein Cubans caught at sea were sent back, but those who reached the beach in Florida got to stay.

Neither of those scenarios is good for public safety or the body politic. An Immigration Case for Intervention in Haiti By David North The U.S. has been asked by at least one of Haiti’s prime ministers to send troops to that battered country.
