Video: U.S. Enabling Mass Asylum and Humanitarian Permit Fraud at the Southern Border

A new Center for Immigration Studies video report filmed in Mexico highlights the migrant numbers, nationalities, and reasons for crossing the southern border.

The Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023

On Wednesday the House Judiciary Committee is set to “mark up” (debate, consider amendments to and most likely pass) H.R. 2640, the “Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023”. U.S. Rep.

Biden’s Border Fiasco Costing Local Taxpayers Billions

That’s why big-city mayors are whining
