Florida Judge Rejects Biden Legal Theory that He has Unfettered Discretion and Immunity from Legal Challenge

By Chris Chmielenski

We have a new ‘Florida Man’ story with which to delight. Judge T. Kent Wetherell II, who perhaps we can call Mr. T., is the latest judge to tackle the most pressing question in immigration law: does the President have virtually unlimited discretion to enforce the law based on policy preferences? The case is Florida … Continued

Not on this list? Not serious about fighting illegal immigration

By Roy Beck

I am regularly asked how a voter can know who to believe when politicians say they want to control the border and fight illegal immigration. I tell them I know who they CAN’T trust.

Biden’s Latest Asylum Overhaul Attempt Worse Than the First

By Chris Chmielenski

The Departments of Homeland Security and Justice (DHS and DOJ respectively), are blundering ever on toward administrative collapse with their latest version of asylum reform.

Biden avoids Ponzi demography in SOTU; his policies do not

By Jeremy Beck

Should we magically manage to employ all existing residents and then all those extra babies and extra immigrants many politicians tell us we should have, what happens when they, too, reach retirement age? We then have the same problem we were trying to solve, except now it is even bigger. This is how Ponzi schemes … Continued

Biden Talks Limited Resources But Only for Enforcement

By Chris Chmielenski

Per a scoop from Axios, the Biden Administration is launching an expansion of their attempt to release seemingly every illegal immigrant they encounter. This time they are expanding “Alternatives to detention (ATD)” with the aim of having most aliens released and on some “stricter” form of monitoring like a version of house arrest. Often, we … Continued
