On March 2, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced new Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for Sudan and South Sudan. These new TPS allotments will allow …

Although the speech devoted very little attention to immigration or border security, what he did say demonstrates that the president has learned nothing from his disastrous record on the issue and his self-inflicted border crisis. The experiences of the past 13 months – …

Six months after federal courts ordered resumption of Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) at the southern border, the Biden administration says it is doing so in “good faith.” But is it? Actions by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) say no. A grand total of 410 migrants were returned to Mexico during December and January. That’s …

Another day, another EB-5 boondoggle. A fleeing foreign national was arrested last week at the U.S.-Mexico border and charged with bilking more than $5 million in COVID relief funds for sham companies. Among Reddy Raghav Budamala’s dubious transactions was a six-figure “investment” into the EB-5 cash-for-visas program. Though the Department of Justice (DOJ) and news reports referred …

A curious memo from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently touted “expansion of labor pathways” for foreign farmworkers into the U.S. The announcement was odd because there are no caps on H-2A visas, so talk of “expansion” seems superfluous, if not nonsensical. Beyond that, the memo promoted a lone nonprofit group that has received …

In spite of being an immigrant, my first reaction to the so-called “Day Without Immigrants”  protest/boycott – which encourages the foreign-born not to attend school, go to work, or spend money on that day – usually consists of eye-rolling.
