(July 15, 2021) – Despite attempts by advocates to downplay the evidence that immigration hurts U.S. workers, the empirical evidence is overwhelming. In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Jason Richwine, a Resident Scholar at the Center, highlights Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) cases in which a clear pattern of discrimination against U.S. workers emerges. Dr. Richwine and Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and host of the podcast, discuss how this qualitative evidence complements the quantitative studies that have found similar impacts. They lament that D.C. journalists – and even some activist academics – seem more interested in pro-immigration talking points than they are in fair summaries of the literature. In his Closing Commentary, Krikorian notes that the old "wet foot/dry foot" policy for Cuban illegal immigrants may be making a comeback in a different form. DHS Secretary Mayorkas announced this week that migrants fleeing unrest in Cuba and Haiti will be turned away – but only if they are caught at sea. Mayorkas neglected to mention that many migrants at the southern border – including thousands of Haitians and Cubans – are already being admitted, particularly if they bring a child with them, so long as they step foot on the north bank of the Rio Grande.   Visit Website Donate Related Articles: No Americans Need Apply; EEOC lawsuits reveal how employers are eager to replace low-skill native workers with immigrants EEOC Reaches Settlement in Yet Another 'No Americans Need Apply' Case An Abundance of New Academic Studies Find Negative Impacts of Immigration Wet-Foot/Dry-Foot Is Back — Sort Of Copyright © 2021 Center for Immigration Studies, All rights reserved.

Share Tweet Share Commentary Biden's Border Predicament By Mark Krikorian National Review, July 5, 2021 Excerpt: Asylum is the loophole that renders moot the entire body of immigration law. There is no possibility of regaining control over immigration without either detaining all asylum-seekers until they receive a decision, and deporting those who don't qualify, or making them wait in Mexico for their hearing date. The Biden administration refuses to do either, and so the border crisis the president created by ending Trump's Remain in Mexico program will continue.   Report Bills to Speed Resettlement of Afghan Allies Cut Corners on National Security, Fraud, and Public Health By Dan Cadman, July 8, 2021 Excerpt: There are reasons to be concerned about whether the bills presently pending before Congress strike the right balance between expeditious processing sufficient to meet the looming 9/11/21 withdrawal deadline, while simultaneously ensuring the security and public health safety of American citizens. This is because the bills waive or eliminate important public health and national security safeguards presently built into the law.

By David North It is useful to compare the narrow interests that benefit from the American program to the much wider set of beneficiaries in the (now also defunct) Canadian equivalent, and the current Portuguese one. ICE Interior Detentions Drop Like a Rock: While the disaster at the border is almost definitely going to get worse By Andrew Arthur The most recent ICE detention numbers reveal that the border disaster is getting worse (and will deteriorate even more once CDC lifts its Title 42 expulsion orders), but more importantly that ICE interior enforcement efforts have been decimated under the Biden administration. It's no wonder that immigration is a losing issue for the president with potential voters, and likely will be for a while. A United Nations of Mass Illegal Immigration: The bogus narrative of Haitian 'asylum-seekers' crossing the southern border By Todd Bensman A 24-year-old Haitian man  in a local motel near the bus station here – readying to move through Nicaragua – revealed a truth at sharp variance with common media and immigration-activist narratives about the large numbers of Haitians now illegally crossing the U.S. southern border. WaPo/ABC News Poll Contains Bad Border Numbers for Biden: And, I'd bet voters don't even know how bad it really is By Andrew R. Arthur The pro-Biden media will not be able to keep wraps on tens of thousands of aliens entering the United States illegally from Europe, Africa, and Asia forever. When that news does leak out, the Biden administration may view June 2021 as the "good old days".
