What's Happening at the Center
In his recent commentary, Mark Krikorian explains that while Joe Biden will use executive actions to undo President Trump's immigration policy, he will likely do so gradually in the hopes of averting a new border crisis and the political blowback for his party that would result. (Top Biden officials confirmed this after the publication of the commentary.) But it is unlikely that prospective illegal immigrants will cooperate, given the incentives Biden will put in place to jump the border or overstay a visa, forcing the new administration to choose between restoring Trump's immigration agenda or loss of Congress in 2022.

DHS, DOJ Issue Final Regulations to Ensure Uniformity in Asylum: A sober response to more than 87,000 comments — but uniformity likely won't last
By Andrew R. Arthur
While the regulations in the final rule will likely not be washed away entirely, they could well be whittled away piecemeal. The uniformity those regulations are meant to ensure likely won't be "uniform" in the not-too-distant future.

SCOTUS Dismisses Census Case — For Now:  'Judicial resolution ... is premature'
By Andrew R. Arthur
At some point the secretary of Commerce and president will act, which (probably) will return the case to the courts. It is questionable whether the DOJ under President Joe Biden will defend those suits, although there could be states that would have standing at that point to support the president's actions.
Wave of 'Extra-Continental' Migrants Predicted in Biden's First Year: Migrants from terror-plagued countries and around the world are bottled up in Latin America, waiting for the green light
By Todd Bensman
It bears remembering that next year's now-broadly predicted surge of illegal immigration to the U.S. Southwest Border — largely the result of the Biden campaign's months of messaging that the incoming president will clear all obstacles and penalties for it — will include not only Spanish-speakers.

Minimum EB-5 Investment Is $900,000, but $450,000 Can Be Borrowed
By David North
Allowing aliens to buy their way into the country is questionable enough; but to open our doors to those who have borrowed part of the admissions price is more so.

Biden's unraveling of border rules will be gradual but inexorable.

President-Elect Joe Biden has pledged to reverse the immigration policies implemented by the Trump administration. His campaign site's immigration page says he will "take urgent action to undo Trump's damage and reclaim America's values." As Rich Lowry has written, "Biden will move on all fronts to loosen immigration controls."

...

As this won't be done all at once, Biden will do his best to try to hide the politically explosive consequences from public view. The new administration will likely fail to mask the fallout of Biden's immigration pledges, but he has the Top Men in the anti-borders brain trust working on the problem.

The Biden team and its allies are aware of the political danger inherent in its immigration promises. The Migration Policy Institute, for instance, a Biden-friendly think tank in Washington, wrote concerning one such border-related promise: "Even though the Biden administration could immediately lift the public-health order, doing so without having a considered new policy in place could quickly stoke major new flows at the border. Chaotic scenes of arrivals, as occurred in 2019 under the Trump administration, could narrow Biden's political maneuvering room on immigration."

I'll say.
