Biden's Second 100 Days: A look at continuing immigration policy changes ([link removed])
By Robert Law,
CIS Report, August 2021
Excerpt: With August 7 having marked President Biden’s 200th day in office, the Center takes a renewed look at what has transpired since April 29 (Biden’s 100th day). Consistent with the Center’s 100-day report, this report does not grade or score the Biden administration’s performance. Instead, it analyzes the impact of policy changes in the following areas: border security, interior enforcement, and immigration benefits.

Biden’s Open Borders Drain American Resources: And deny citizens their rightful political role regarding immigration ([link removed])
By Jason Richwine
The American Spectator, August 10, 2021
Excerpt: The border crisis has immediate legal and humanitarian consequences, but what can we expect the downstream effects on our economy to be? How will American workers and taxpayers ultimately fare? While advocates insist that the economic effects of immigration are virtually all positive, a fair assessment of the literature cannot support such a rosy outlook. In reality, the economic impact of immigration is mixed. It offers some benefits for Americans but also some costs, and weighing those competing impacts is a matter for the political process. Uncontrolled immigration denies Americans the right to that process.

How Much Worse Can It Get? ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian
National Review, August 13, 2021
Excerpt: While I still think the August arrest numbers might dip, there is no way to restore order to the border without a 180-degree shift in Biden administration policy. And since that’s not going to happen without impeaching the president, The border crisis is here to stay, as Andy McCarthy wrote, at least until January 20, 2025. God help us all.

Incredibly, Biden’s Border Disaster Got Even Worse in July ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Every indicator in CBP’s July numbers is bad for the president and his policies. Apprehension records dating back more than two decades are being shattered while the one successful border policy Biden held over from the Trump administration — Title 42 — is in decline. Apprehensions have exceeded 100,000 and increased every month for the past five. That includes since May, after which they have traditionally declined. There is no “seasonal bump” this year, a fact the president has had plenty of time to realize. He hasn’t, which means that his policies won’t be changing anytime soon, either.

Is DHS Pursuing a DACA Regulation in Violation of Judge Hanen’s Ruling? ([link removed])
By Robert Law
Excerpt: By finding that DACA violates substantive immigration law, Judge Hanen’s ruling curtails the Biden administration’s ability to re-institute the amnesty-lite program through rulemaking. Prior to Judge Hanen’s ruling, the Biden administration published the Spring 2021 Unified Agenda, a database that informs the public of the regulatory actions the Executive Branch is actively pursuing. The DHS list included an entry for a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled, "Preserving and Fortifying Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals".

Little Evidence of a Border in South-Central Texas ([link removed] situation in the Del Rio Sector is bad and getting worse. Four years ago, there was illegal migration there, but Border Patrol was more than up to the effort. Now, state and local cops are providing what enforcement there is, as Border Patrol agents are processing aliens and releasing them into the United States. There may be a border on the map, but there’s little evidence of one in reality.)

California Wildfire Shows that Alternatives to TPS Exist: Biden administration often opts for amnesty-lite overly narrowly tailored accommodations ([link removed])
By Robert Law
Excerpt: The existence of narrow “special situations” accommodations shows that a TPS designation is unnecessary if an administration’s goal really is to prevent lawfully present aliens from falling out of status through no fault of their own. The reality is that TPS is primarily used to reward *illegal* aliens with work permits.
