Those who ridicule the idea that "special interest aliens" present any sort of security threat should have attended the press conference I attended yesterday in San Antonio. There, a coterie of ranking, highly credentialed professional homeland security officials gave articulate voice to the often-mocked national security threat issue presented by this unique migration.

To say that the response to Attorney General Barr's decision in Matter of M-S- has been a bit overblown would be an understatement. That said, this decision could come with significant downsides for the rule of law that will likely encourage more aliens to seek to enter the United States illegally.

New reports keep piling up that asylum seekers and refugees from terrorism-spawning countries have slipped through the U.S. vetting systems despite records of Islamic terrorism. Like episodic idiot-lights on the car dashboard that briefly blink on and then disappear for a while, news reports slowly raise the idea that something is wrong with the system.

It may be hard to believe, but there's a visa mill on the West Coast, Northwestern Polytechnic University (NPU), that is, by one (admittedly obscure) standard, three times as rich as Harvard University.

The trend in apprehensions is upward, and the release of the overwhelming majority of UACs to aliens unlawfully present United States is bound to continue this trend.

Immigration activists seem to be blind to the fact that if they have their way in the Democratic primaries, many Americans who would rather not vote for Trump will feel that they have no alternative.

Dow Constantine, the executive of King County, Wash., issued an order prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using the facilities of the county's airport for the purpose of detainee transportation flights.

Put simply, Central American migrants are by-and-large not coming to America because of life-threatening climate catastrophes. Rather, they're showing up because they know we'll let them stay.
