What's Happening at the Center
In a recent column ([link removed]) , Mark Krikorian explains that Mexico has been pretty aggressive in stopping third-country nationals from traversing its territory on their way north to make bogus asylum claims so they can be released into the United States because the current flow of illegals is mainly made up of foreigners, not Mexicans. A majority of the flow is from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador (the “northern triangle” countries of Central America), but with growing numbers from Haiti, Cuba, various African countries, and even the Middle East.

When the first caravan to catch the world’s attention passed through Mexican towns on its way north in spring 2018, it was often welcomed with mariachi bands, offers of food and water, and even medical checkups. But as more caravans arrived, plus many migrants in smaller groups, all drawn by loopholes in American law that facilitated their release into the United States, the welcome started to wear out. Exhaustion has turned to resentment.

The United States and Mexico have a confluence of interests in stopping the flow of third-country “asylum-seekers” heading for the American border. Mexicans love their country, as they should, and they’re tired of foreigners using it as a doormat.

Latest Census Bureau Surveys Do Not Agree on Size and Growth of Immigrant Population
By Steven A. Camarota
CIS Report, October 16, 2019

Excerpt: A recent news story in the New York Times announced that growth in the immigrant population "Slows to a Trickle". An op-ed in the Times a few weeks later went even further, mistakenly interpreting the earlier report as meaning that "immigration fell 70%" in the last year. The writers interpret this as the result of President Trump's immigration policy changes.

But it's not clear that any slowdown in immigration has actually taken place.

Facts About How a Deportable Criminal Alien Was Left Free to Kill Are Excluded from Murder Trial ([link removed])
By Todd Bensman
It was good that an elected state judge in San Antonio last week sentenced an illegally present Mexican national to life in a Texas prison after conviction at trial for murdering San Antonio college student Jared Vargas. But justice and broader public safety were not thoroughly served here, and the victim's family was left wanting.

California Hobbles Itself - and the Federal Government - in Preventing Use of Private Detention Facilities ([link removed])
By Dan Cadman
California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed into law, after passage through the legislature, a ban on private prisons, including private immigration detention facilities. Many progressives have hailed passage of the law, ostensibly because it represents a step toward "criminal justice reform" by "taking the profit motive" from incarceration. The more you limit where individuals, citizen or alien, may be detained, the more likely it is that they will be placed in the remaining few facilities in remote locations — most likely far from friends, family, or even their legal counsel.

H-1B Denials Rate Quadruples, but the Number of Approvals Keeps Rising ([link removed])
By David North
We keep hearing, from the industry and from the Indian press, that denial rates in the H-1B program are rising sharply, that more and more of the dreaded questions about applications (the Request for Evidence (RFE) process) are being asked by DHS staff, and that the post-RFE approval rate in the H-1B program is falling. The reality is that some of the most marginal applications are now being rejected by DHS staff, and that the quality and the legitimacy of the jobs in the program have advanced a small amount.
