A new report examines the practice, and negative impacts, of birth tourism in the United States and other developed countries, and recommends policies to minimize the practice of selling citizenship.
Jessica Vaughan, the Center's Director of Policy Studies, testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship hearing on the oversight and funding of USCIS, the DHS agency which administers the nation's lawful immigration system. A furlough of 13,400 USCIS employees was recently postponed while the fee-funded agency struggles with a funding shortage.
Slightly more improvement for immigrants, but still dismal for both groups
A new analysis by the Center for Immigration shows that while there was some improvement in the number and share of native-born Americans and immigrants (legal and illegal) out of work, unemployment remains extraordinarily high.
Nine religious or community-based organizations, called resettlement agencies, have contracts with the Department of State to resettle refugees inside the US.
Representatives from these agencies determine where refugees are placed.
How a Left-Right Coalition Blocked Immigration Reform and Provoked the Backlash That Elected Trump
Losing Control is the story of how a left-right coalition of immigrant-rights groups, activists, and business interests thwarted the 1986 immigration reform law.
Written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, it combines reporting and historical narrative to show how Washington's failure provoked the backlash that led Donald Trump to victory.

I told you they were coming a year ago — and may be just the beginning
Grand juries are particularly sluggish in their work — which is good for all of us, because a rush to judgment would snare a lot of innocent people. It took almost a year, but DOJ announced Thursday that four different individuals have been indicted and are facing criminal charges. Those charges range from harboring illegal aliens, to assisting those aliens in passing themselves off as United States citizens and obtaining fraudulent Social Security cards, to false statements to federal officials.
A piece of good news for those of us who think the H-1B program is over-used and displaces American workers: Starting in October one set of major users of the program will have to pay substantially higher fees when they want to extend the visas of H-1B and L workers currently on their payrolls, according to the San Jose Mercury-News.
This will raise $200 million a year for a fee-starved USCIS.
One year ago, ICE raided multiple chicken plants in Mississippi, arresting hundreds of illegal aliens. Dozens of them have been convicted of various federal crimes, such as identity theft and document fraud.
But what about their employers? Simply arresting a bunch of illegals, and leaving it at that, is both unjust and ineffective. Unjust because it lets the other participant in the criminal transaction off the hook, and ineffective because employers can just hire another batch of illegal aliens and essentially write off the disruption as a cost of doing business.
Mainstream journalists at a press conference did not report these remarks
Amid profound Covid-19 hospitalization spikes in border states that are universally blamed on lifted lock-downs, acting Customs and Border Protection Chief Mark Morgan confirmed yesterday that his agents are transporting some infected apprehended illegal migrants to U.S. hospitals, that probably many more are getting away into the interior, and that his agents are dying of the virus "in the line of duty".
