This new report finds that households headed by non-citizens access means-tested welfare programs at substantially higher rates than households headed by U.S.-born Americans in virtually every state.

There are steps Congress can take to help fight fraud, but when something this valuable is on offer – residence in the United States – there will always be some who seek to break the rules to get it.
The Center for Immigration Studies has released a series of analyses examining a recent USCIS memo emphasizing that adjustment of status - the process allowing certain aliens, either temporary visa holders or unlawfully present, who are eligible for permanent residence to obtain it without leaving the United States - is a discretionary benefit and not a guaranteed alternative to consular processing abroad.
George Fishman, Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution at a hearing titled “Protecting American Citizenship III: Denaturalization and its Constitutional Limits.”

Those who broke a key appropriations norm should be worried about payback
The word “deadbeat” describes those who demand what they won’t pay for, and little except partisan maneuvers prevented that epithet from being applied to Congress — the source of the immigration laws but a branch that until this week stalled on paying for their enforcement.
The good news is that between May 2024 and May 2025 the U.S. gained 41,060 computer jobs. The bad news is that in 2025 the U.S. imported 52,938 workers for computer jobs on H-1B visas alone. Even more foreign computer workers come under an alphabet soup of other work programs (e.g., OPT, L, E, TN).
