Will energy disruptions in Ukraine this winter cause a new wave of migration?

Will the disruptions in food and fertilizer exports caused by the Ukraine war lead to famine in Africa, further increasing migration flows to Europe and the U.S.?

These and other issues will be addressed in a panel discussion, sponsored jointly by the Center for Immigration Studies and the Hungarian Migration Research Institute, on Thursday, October 13 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Experts from the United States and Europe will examine the refugee and internally displaced people (IDPs) challenges produced by the war and faced by Ukraine, Europe, Africa, and the United States.

The Center for Immigration Studies hosted a panel discussion on Thursday, October 6, at 9:30 a.m., entitled, "The Cultural Impact of Immigration" at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C. The conversation began with a discussion of NYU Professor Lawrence Mead's book, "Burdens of Freedom: Cultural Difference and American Power." He will be joined on the panel by Ramesh Ponnuru, editor of National Review, and Peter Skerry, a professor of political science at Boston College.

A new analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of data collected by the U.S. government in the first half of 2022 shows that not only is immigration up from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, but immigration from the rest of the world has declined. As a result, 2022 is the first time since 2006 that the government’s Current Population Survey (CPS) shows more than half of new legal and illegal immigrants came from this part of the world.

This analysis measures the socio-economic status (SES) of U.S.-born adult (ages 25 to 29) children of immigrants (second-generation Americans). We focus on this age group because by this age individuals have traditionally become independent of their parents, but are still young enough that their immigrant parents are relatively recent arrivals.

Judge Trevor McFadden of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled that the lawsuit, Massachusetts Coalition for Immigration Reform (MCIR) v. Department of Homeland Security, can proceed against the Biden Administration for failing to conduct environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
