The Welcome Corps

A ‘Private’ Sponsorship Program for Refugees

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

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. This troubling development is the result of policy choices made by the Biden administration and Congress. This report details controversial and dangerous policies that must be addressed by the new Congress.

Hiring Illegals Is a Crime

In 1986, the IRCA made it unlawful for employers to knowingly hire and employ illegal aliens. While different administrations have devoted various degrees of effort to enforcing employer sanctions and levying civil fines, employers have generally adapted to these fines, and it is often difficult to prove that employers knowingly hired illegal aliens. George Fishman, the Center's senior legal fellow, provides recommendations to Congress to turn off the jobs magnet for illegal immigration. 

Walls on Another Border

Chuck Holton has spent two decades reporting on wars and disasters in more than 100 countries. He has 10 books in print and lives in Panama.

A spike in the number of Haitian migrants has been seen as hundreds are arriving in the Florida Keys each week, making the perilous, 600-mile crossing on insanely overcrowded boats and further straining the ability of the U.S. Coast Guard to do its real job — interdicting drug traffickers in the Caribbean.

Canadian Health Care System Staggering Under Trudeau Mass Immigration Plan

A harbinger of U.S. impacts from Biden border crisis on America’s financially collapsing health care system

The Canadian and American health care systems are very different, but both countries have in common the fact that millions of entering foreign nationals are suddenly piling up at hospitals, emergency rooms, doctor’s offices, and clinics who can’t be turned away under the traditions of medical ethics (and in some cases, under federal law).

Biden’s DOJ Doesn’t Appeal Court’s Blockbuster Order on Parole

‘Bottom News of the Day’ or the dog that didn’t bark?

Given its absence of transparency, it’s never been clear whether the administration is simply bumbling from disaster to disaster at the border, or whether nameless apparatchiks are playing an elaborate game of Tetris with the millions of migrants who have entered illegally since Joe Biden took office. Either makes sense.

Biden’s DHS: Deception Without a Hint of Shame

A new rule is a window on the administration's slippery justifications for policy moves

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.
