Illegal Immigration News

As record numbers of illegal aliens continue to flood across our southern border, they are being dispersed into every congressional district in the country, making every state a border state. We’re told they’re merely coming to seek a better life. And while that’s true for many, why do open-borders advocates ignore the enormous toll on…

Suparna Dutta says she thought the exceptional nature of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence “was common sense,” but her recent experience with the Virginia Board of Education proved otherwise.  Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin appointed Dutta—a mother, engineer, and Indian immigrant—to the Virginia Board of Education in July.  “I was thrilled and very honored to…

Cartels are groups of organizations that collude with each other to drive up prices, crush competition, and ultimately extort huge amounts of money to redistribute to the cartel members. While the word is often associated with drugs, oil-producing countries, or anti-competitive business practices, politicians from nine blue states are attempting something new in the U.S.—a…

Left-wing Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador recently praised a visiting President Joe Biden: “Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States. Forty million who were born here in Mexico, [or] who are the children of people who were born in Mexico.” Why wouldn’t Lopez Obrador be delighted? Since Biden took office…

One thing I have in common with journalist Andrew Sullivan is that we both chose to go through the lengthy process to become American citizens. As he recently told Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff, the current insanity at the border makes legal immigrants like us “look like patsies.” When a staunch liberal, a reporter from…

As President Joe Biden briefly toured a small segment of the southern border Sunday and talked about why the illegal immigration crisis there is not really a crisis, and if it is then it isn’t his fault, other interesting developments highlight the depth of the problem. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, announced Saturday that…

A “tissue of lies” is defined by The Free Dictionary as “a number of false statements made to deliberately hide the truth.” Under this definition should be a copy of the Department of Homeland Security’s “Update on Southwest Border Security and Preparedness Ahead of Court-Ordered Lifting of Title 42.” In it, the Biden-Harris administration absolves…

If Sam Bankman-Fried offers a new cryptocurrency investment scheme, are you in? Not likely. I’d rather trust the ghost of Bernie Madoff with my money. Once bitten, twice shy. That’s why conservatives don’t trust the immigration “compromise” proposals being discussed on Capitol Hill in the lame-duck session of Congress just weeks before control of the…

The House is about to debate a wrongheaded bill that is touted simply as a mechanism to speed up the availability of green cards for certain employment-based applicants. But the bill, HR 3648, actually would upend the nation’s legal immigration system while benefiting China and inviting an immediate, immeasurable influx of new applicants to overwhelm…

The U.S.’s nearly two-year-old border crisis continues unabated, yet Senate Democrats and some Republicans are foolishly resuming a push to grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands—and perhaps millions—of people living in this country illegally. There is a simple test to determine if a given policy will reduce illegal immigration, and amnesty—whether for Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals…

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by Texas and Louisiana over Biden administration guidelines that severely restricted the Department of Homeland Security’s enforcement of federal immigration law against illegal aliens.  Twenty other states supported Texas and Louisiana with amicus briefs, ranging from Arizona to Florida and West Virginia to Wyoming. The…

The historic level of illegal immigration on the southern border is likely to get much worse, if that’s possible. On Wednesday, a federal judge declared that the Biden administration had to end Title 42 by Dec. 21. The ruling came from Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who…

While most eyes are on the emerging new balance of power in Congress as vote counts continue after Tuesday’s  midterm elections, state leaders should note the outcome of immigration-related ballot measures in four states.  Voters weighed in on immigration-related ballot questions in Arizona, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and Ohio that provide models for introduction of similar measures…
