Below is an excerpt from a report by the Center's Todd Bensman in the New York Post about the impact of the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies on indigenous communities in the Darien Gap, as described by the tribal leaders themselves. The Darien is a roadless jungle on the Panama-Colombia border that huge numbers of illegal immigrants have […]
Amajor New York newspaper published an article over the weekend headlined “How a Migrant Accused of Rape Was Freed and Charged With Rape Again”. But it wasn’t the populist New York Post reporting on how migrant crime fueled by feckless sanctuary policies was creating victims in Gotham – it was the New York Times, the […]
Vice President Kamala Harris has rightly been tagged as both a phony and a flip-flopper. Her latest on immigration combines these two — a phony flip-flop. The Beltway is all atwitter with news that “Harris flip-flops on building the border wall.” You see, she said in her convention speech that she’d sign the failed Senate […]
Akey promise of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is that, as president, she’ll “secure our border”. The only reason for such a vow is that the border is not secure presently, and hasn’t been for the past three-plus years, which raises the question: Whose immigration policy have we been living under since January 2021, and how can […]
Former president Donald Trump wrote in an August 20 post on Truth Social that “most new jobs under Biden went to illegal immigrants.” Predictably, “fact checkers” attacked his assertion. It is the case that a significant share of job growth went to the native-born in 2021 as the economy recovered from Covid. But Trump is […]
PANAMA CITY, Panama — In April 2022, the American public finally heard the sound of national security alarms about the U.S. southern border, when U.S. Customs and Border Protection began publishing, on a monthly basis, the numbers of FBI watch-listed terrorists caught illegally crossing (a record-breaking 378 from FY2021 through July 2024). But what most Americans do […]
Federal Judge J. Campbell Barker of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order this week in Texas v. USDHS, staying the Biden-Harris administration’s “Parole in Place” (PIP) amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens (in so-called “mixed-status families”) and their alien children for at least […]
On August 28, the Fox affiliate in San Diego reported that there had been two incidents in preceding days in which migrants attempted to board Jamul-Dulzura Union School District buses near the border in California. Given the free ride migrants have been given under the current administration, the offenders in question were likely just confused, and probably thought that […]
The Biden-Harris DHS earlier this month paused its “parole” program for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua amidst findings of fraud. The Washington Times now reports that the administration is restarting “CHNV Parole”, and in an interesting twist, the department is soliciting volunteers to “confirm” (read: “process”) those applications — volunteers who don’t need any prior experience. What’s […]
