The sensational media dispute over Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and the nitpicking over individual anecdotes from that town is obscuring a far more important reality. Whatever else we know, it is a documented fact that the Biden-Harris Administration is complicit in a multinational effort, aided by major NGOs and U.N. organizations in collusion with […]
Most professional analyses of the September 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump indicate that Harris “won” the debate. But does that mean that Harris “won over” enough voters to secure victory in November? Good question, because CNN held a snap poll following the debate, and the takeaways are surprising, to say the […]
Acontroversial foreign-labor program developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and managed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is creating an incentive for employers to hire foreign students rather than U.S. citizens or permanent residents while potentially costing the Social Security and Medicare programs over $4 billion in lost revenue every year. The […]
Numerous press outlets have taken great pains to counter claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is or ever has been the “border czar”, contending instead that her migration portfolio simply involved the “root causes” of illegal migration from the three “Northern Triangle” countries of Central America: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Those same outlets have been circumspect […]
The Census Bureau today released the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS), which shows a total foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) of 47.83 million in July 2023 — an increase of 1.65 million compared to the 2022 ACS. The size of the foreign-born population and the year-over-year increase are the largest the survey has […]
When the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) released its latest study of tax payments made by illegal immigrants, some advocates were notably excited, including a labor union and a former Labor Department secretary: https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1821640802067464526&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcis.org%2FRichwine%2FTax-Payments-Illegal-Immigrants&sessionId=5adb9311e34390749f9476e006b11151742cf680&siteScreenName=CIS_org&siteUserId=95480831&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=550px https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1820599419848311191&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcis.org%2FRichwine%2FTax-Payments-Illegal-Immigrants&sessionId=5adb9311e34390749f9476e006b11151742cf680&siteScreenName=CIS_org&siteUserId=95480831&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&width=550px Even leaving aside the labor movement’s self-defeating embrace of mass immigration, the enthusiasm for this study is difficult to understand.

Progressive Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday and called for “comprehensive immigration reform” — including a “pathway to citizenship”, i.e., amnesty, for 11 million illegal immigrants. She then said the quiet part out loud, admitting that a President Kamala Harris “will work with Congress to get that done.” This Democratic […]
In my last post, I offered a timeline of Vice President Kamala Harris’s activities as the administration’s “Root Causes of Migration Czar”. Included was a lengthy excerpt from a January 2022 White House “readout” of a meeting Harris had with the then-newly elected president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, during the last trip Harris took abroad in the […]
This past June, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published its new “Securing the Border” interim final rule (IFR). One statistic the agency cited that stood out to me was USCIS’s backlog of affirmative asylum cases. Affirmative asylum applications are those that are filed directly with USCIS, rather than as a defense to removal. Often, these […]
Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee in the 2024 presidential race, the role she’s played in the ongoing border crisis is in the spotlight. The Biden/Harris administration has reeled from one crisis to another at the Southwest border, creating an electoral vulnerability for the soon-to-be crowned candidate. Harris-friendly “fact checkers”, however, are now scrambling to distance […]
In a new report, “Effects of the Immigration Surge on the Federal Budget and the Economy”, the CBO concludes that the huge rise in inadmissible migrants during the Biden administration will reduce the federal deficit by an average of $90 billion per year over the next ten years. Although I understand Congress’s desire for hard […]
As part of its promotion of Kamala Harris’s candidacy, the legacy media is working overtime to deny that President Biden named his vice president as “border czar.” As NR’s Matthew Wilson noted, Axios has hilariously been trying to do cleanup on its repeated labeling of Harris as “border czar.” (The BBC described her that way as well.) Joining Axios in retailing the Harris-for-president […]
