President Trump revealed that his administration was in a process of designating as Foreign Terrorist Organizations at least some Mexican drug cartels.

Two CIS fellows present arguments for and against the FTO designation for Mexican cartels.

cis.org/Press-Release/…
Dan Cadman:

"From this author's perspective, proclaiming the cartels as FTOs is not only a logical step, it's long overdue."

cis.org/Cadman/Its-Tim…
Todd Bensman:

"Absent advance scoping, needs analysis, criteria-setting, and human-resources planning, the workload could crush American counterterrorism infrastructure overnight."

Some eye-popping statistics were reported recently that quantify the scope of the asylum backlog:

cis.org/Arthur/Statist…
Between '13 and '18, affirmative asylum claims increased from 44,453 to 106,147.

As of the end of FY 2019, 340,810 affirmative asylum applications were pending with USCIS.

cis.org/Arthur/Statist…
In FY2018, 34,031 aliens in expedited removal received positive credible fear findings and were referred to immigration court.

Of that number, 39% failed to file an asylum application.

Fantastic News!

"Agency officials have reduced the approval rate for foreign H-1B outsourcing workers, so helping American graduates who are being squeezed by the one-two punch of 800,000 H-1B visa workers & Indian discrimination."
breitbart.com/politics/2019/…
These LEGAL Immigration programs are a disaster for the American worker.

College students already have to deal with record debt. Forcing them to compete with foreign workers willing to work for ridiculously low wages is just wrong.

Big Tech's Senator Mike Lee

"Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is pushing his S.386 bill, which would put the Indian H-1B workers on a fast-track to citizenship, regardless of the impacts on his own constituents or on graduates throughout the United States."

AG Barr is seated. Hearing underway shortly.

Gavel has been struck, and away we go.
Sen. Lindsey holds up the Mueller Report and says "Cant say I've read it all, but I've read most of it. There's an unredacted version in a classified version of senate, and I read that and I found it not to change anything in terms of an outcome."

1. Wish me luck folks, I'm going in. (I mean, I study the founding era and I teach a course on the history of American conservatism, it would be malpractice for me *not* to listen to this.)

2. Ok, had to take a break after 5 minutes because I can feel my brain losing synapses in real time. TIL, a) Mike Lee (R-UT) ranks Calvin Coolidge as one of America's greatest presidents and b) George III believed in the divine right of kings.
3. Mike Lee, self-appointed expert on the history of the founding era, appears to have forgotten about the English Civil War (1641-1660), the Glorious Revolution (1688), and this minor thinker named John Locke.

Mike Lee (R-UT) has resuscitated the racist & discredited Moynihan Report (1965) to argue that MLK would agree with white nationalist Tucker Carlson that a conservative populism (what historians generally refer to as fascism) is the best road forward. Happy MLK day everyone!
Worth noting that since Mike Lee was born in 1971, his party of choice has rarely garnered more than 10% of the black vote. I just can't imagine why that is. Clearly, the problem here is that black people don't know how to vote right. Right? <sarcasm>
Many people say that The National Review is just The Federalist or Breitbart with a bowtie. This "MLK would totally agree with Tucker Carlson" hot take sure adds credence to that interpretation.

Senate Democratic Leader Schumer has objected to the Judiciary Committee meeting while the Senate is in session
Under the rules, the committee can only meet for 2 more hours if consent is not granted for a panel to hold a hearing - to avoid that, McConnell will adjourn the Senate in the next 10-15 minutes
Back in the hearing, Kavanaugh was asked about his 'dirtiest' job - he said he worked construction for one summer. No one has asked about his Congressional internship as yet
