Host: Mark Krikorian Guest: Jason Richwine Parsing Immigration Policy, Episode 63 Commentary The real employment crisis in Texas By Steven Camarota Dallas Morning News, July 25, 2022 Excerpt: The real crisis in the U.S. labor market is not, as we keep hearing, that there are not enough people who can work. The real crisis is all of the working-age people on the sidelines, not even looking for a job. Yes, the unemployment rate is low, but that statistic covers only people who have looked for a job in the last four weeks. The labor-force participation rate, which measures the share of working-age people working or at least looking for work, shows a long-term decline, especially for men without a college degree. This is especially true in states like Texas. When able-bodied men are not even looking for work, a host of social problems ensue — from crime, to drug addiction, to family breakdown.

An Academic Sheen on Immigration Advocacy By Jason Richwine Real Clear Books, July 19, 2022 Excerpt: Over the last decade, economists Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan have conducted innovative research into the history of immigration to the United States. How disappointing then that their new book, "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success," is less an explication of that research than it is an advocacy brief, rife with enthusiastic rhetoric and simplistic arguments for expanding immigration. Featured Blog Posts The Unpopular Shift in Democrats’ Immigration Policies By Andrew R. Arthur Simply put, Joe Biden circa 2007 would have been one of the harshest critics of President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, but would be far from the only one, as polling on the president’s immigration performance reveals. Supreme Court Refuses to Block Order Vacating Mayorkas’ Non-Enforcement Memo By Andrew R.

DeSantis Uses Grand Jury to Tackle Illegal Immigration in Florida By Andrew R.
