Kabuki Vetting of Afghans
By Mark Krikorian
National Review, August 30, 2021
Excerpt: There is no connection between the vetting of Afghans and their admission to the U.S. The moment the doors of a C-17 closed on the tarmac in Kabul, every Afghan on board, regardless of background or possible security threat, became a de facto permanent resident of the U.S. Anyone telling you otherwise is misinformed or mendacious.

Welfare Use for Immigrants and Native-Born Households
By Steven A. Camarota
Excerpt: Analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of the latest data (2018) from the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) shows that welfare use by households headed by immigrants remains high relative to the native-born.
