The Welcome Corps: A ‘Private’ Sponsorship Program for Refugees ([link removed])
By Nayla Rush, March 16, 2023
Summary: The Welcome Corps initiative, billed as a private sponsorship program for refugees, hands over the control of most of the resettlement process to refugee advocates in the United States and allows them to select their own refugees, who are future American citizens. Far from being purely privately funded, U.S. taxpayer funds will be used to resettle refugees through this program.

Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats Facilitated ‘Explosion’ in Illegal Alien Child Labor ([link removed])
By Jon Feere, March 14, 2023
Excerpt: Porous borders and lax enforcement of immigration laws in the U.S. interior have led to an explosion in child labor at worksites across the nation.

What Are The Odds? How The Differences Between Trump and Biden’s Border Rhetoric Took Immigration From Calm to Crisis ([link removed])
By Todd Bensman
The Federalist, March 13, 2023
Excerpt: My analysis of monthly and annual U.S. Border Patrol apprehension data and interviews with the migrants planning border jumps corresponds tightly with what American leaders say out loud, and then only if they follow through. Telegraphed intentions and political communication followed by concrete action launch the thousand ships or return them to port.

Biden Administration Deals with Its Immigration Disaster by Ignoring the Law ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Immigration enforcement under the INA can be a difficult task, but it’s one that gets a lot easier when the president couldn’t care less what Congress says.

USCIS’s Fee Rule Inappropriately Transfers the Cost of the Broken Asylum System to U.S. Employers ([link removed])
By Elizabeth Jacobs
Excerpt: In our comment, CIS opposed DHS’s plan to transfer the cost of the border crisis to U.S. businesses that petition for foreign workers. CIS also encouraged USCIS to incorporate the beneficiary-pays principle, which asks beneficiaries to pay for the costs of the services they are provided, when determining how much applicants and petitioners should be paying for immigration benefit services administered by the agency.
February Border Numbers Give Away Administration’s Game ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: CBP’s contentions notwithstanding, historic numbers of migrants continue entering illegally. That agency’s disclosures reveal the administration is hiding its border crisis by funneling greater numbers of would-be migrants through U.S. ports of entry, including interior airports. Likely worse, they suggest Biden’s DHS either misrepresented its reasons for ending Remain in Mexico or doesn’t really care that much about migrants’ safety.

Biden’s DHS: Deception Without a Hint of Shame ([link removed])
By George Fishman
Excerpt: To make a new regulation resistant to legal challenge, it must consider alternatives and explain why they were not chosen. The Biden administration's "Circumvention of Legal Pathways" (CLAP) rule regarding asylum eligibility for those transiting third countries does this in a way that is so dishonest that it is deserving of ridicule.
