Share Tweet Share Commentary Biden’s unserious border ‘solution’ — mass amnesty for all illegal immigrants By Mark Krikorian New York Post, December 27, 2022 Excerpt: The White House complained Monday about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s latest busload of migrants dropped off at the vice president’s doorstep on Christmas Eve. But the administration’s response was to use the 100 or so illegal immigrants as an argument for its mass-amnesty legislation, a bill so radical even Speaker Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t bring it up for a vote. Biden's Border Crisis Is Fueling Growing Cartel Armies By Todd Bensman Daily Mail, December 27, 2022 Excerpt: President Joe Biden's election and America's subsequent mass migration crisis has bestowed such fabulous riches upon these criminal organizations that traditional drug trafficking is no longer the only prize worth dying for.

Vaughan Parsing Immigration Policy, Episode 85 Hispanics’ Voting Preferences on Immigration Host: Mark Krikorian Guest: Jim Robb Parsing Immigration Policy, Episode 84 Featured Posts  Biden Administration Opposes Continuing Title 42 By Andrew R. Arthur Excerpt: Biden knew that would result in disaster, promising a month before he took office that, while he would reverse those Trump policies that he would only do so “at a slower pace than he initially promised, to avoid winding up with '2 million people on our border”, and only after “’setting up the guardrails” to find a solution to the immigration issue”. Federal Judge Stays DHS’s Latest Termination of ‘Remain in Mexico’ By Andrew R. Arthur Excerpt: Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order last week in Texas v. Biden, staying two memoranda terminating the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), better known as “Remain in Mexico”. While MPP may, facially, be the subject of the suit brought by the plaintiff states in that case, it’s really about the Biden administration’s refusal to comply with congressional detention mandates and restrictions on parole, as the court’s order shows. Biden Administration: Title 42 Termination “Will Likely Lead to ... a Temporary Increase in Unlawful Border Crossings” By George Fishman Excerpt: Prelogar, no surprise, argues that the Supreme Court should lift Roberts’ stay (after a few days) and allow our southwest border to descend into a level of chaos bordering on Apocalypse Now. She at least admits that DHS’s mission is to “secure the Nation’s borders”, but that is a mere formality, since to the Biden administration the borders are already secure, thank you. Biden’s New Public Charge Regulation Goes into Effect By Elizabeth Jacobs Excerpt: The rule is a brazen attempt to ignore congressional mandates and maximize welfare use among noncitizens in the United States. This despite the fact that fostering immigrant self-sufficiency within the United States — not welfare use — is the public charge statute’s ultimate goal.    More Blog Posts  Visa Roundup: News About R-1s, an E-2, and Some EB-5s Border County Declares a State of Emergency In Fraud Case, DHS Admits It OK’d 90% of a Set of Fee Waivers How Individuals Can Help the Migration Picture by Going into Court: A Non-Lawyer’s Point of View Holiday News Dump Tries to Hide Massive Surge in Border Migration Biden Doesn’t Have a Border Plan, Likely for Good Reason If You Like Title 42, You’ll Love Section 212(f) EB-5 Visa Issuances Drop with the End of FY 2022 U.S. Employers Wanting Foreign Workers Have Oodles of Options CBP, Texas, and El Paso Brace for the End of Title 42 The States Want to Stage an Intervention for Biden’s Troubled Borders, and the Supreme Court Seems Eager to Oblige 2022: ‘The Year of Doing Nothing’ in Immigration DHS and DOJ Delay Implementing Trump-Era Asylum Security Regulation (Again) Title 42 Expulsions Dropped, ‘Humanitarian Releases’ Surged, at SW Border in November Massive Spending Bill Includes $785 Million to Feed, House, and Transport Migrants Donate Copyright © 2023 Center for Immigration Studies, All rights reserved.  Want to change how you receive these emails?
