Who Is Hurt when Colleges Cater to Illegal Alien Students? Not the Elite
By David North
Who is hurt when America’s colleges and universities not only admit illegal aliens as students, but give them special benefits like tuition at in-state rates? It is not the elite. It is not those whose parents are paying full tuition, or those who have no trouble being admitted. Unfortunately, most media coverage of these matters is centered on heroes and heroines, students who have overcome their illegal status to be accepted on campus, rather than dealing with the subject from an objective view. In most of this coverage the whole concept that benefits provided to one group means a lack of benefits for another is rarely mentioned.
Another Local Officer Under the Gun for Cooperating with ICE
By Dan Cadman
This is the third occasion in a relatively short period of time in which I've raised the issue of sanctuary jurisdictions going after their own police officers for working with — or even, in one instance responding to a 911 call from — Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The most recent instance came to light in Boston during the latter part of October. Sanctuary jurisdictions claim that this barring of cooperation or any kind of contact between police and ICE is for the good of the "immigrant community" because it instills the trust needed for police to be effective at their work.

Wanted: More Child Predators in Buncombe County, N.C.?
By Andrew R. Arthur
I've learned two things in 27 years of work in immigration: (1) Some ideas are so dumb only smart people can think them up; and (2) A lot of things may sound righteous in the abstract, but can lead to tragic consequences in the concrete. Buncombe County, N.C., reinforced both of these ideas when on October 29, 2019, it released a criminal alien child sex offender instead of handing him over to ICE. The criminal alien in question is Marvin Ramirez Torres, a Salvadoran national who is illegally present in the United States. On that basis alone, he is subject to removal.
On Prop 187's Anniversary: A Sarcastic Tribute in the LA Times
By Jerry Kammer
In 1994, Proposition 187 roiled the state of California, aiming to stop illegal immigration by denying education and other social services to illegal immigrants. Then as now, the fiscal and social consequences of illegal immigration head the list of those problems. It was the failure of federal enforcement of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 that allowed the mass illegal immigration that prompted Proposition 187. Now no proposal for "comprehensive immigration reform" can succeed without a commitment to enforce the limits included in those proposals.
