Tune into WMAL at 5:15 to hear Mark Krikorian speak on immigration, Afghanistan, and the border.
wmal.com
Krikorian: "You can't vet people from Afghanistan. Even when we ran the place, our vetting was hit and miss.... The best vetted are the relative handful of people who were working as translators for the military."
Krikorian: "The people coming in are likely SIV applicants.... These people haven't been approved yet for their visas. Once they set down in the US, it's game over. What are we gonna do? Deport them back to Afghanistan?"

The argument is often made that if Americans won't have enough children to balance out our aging population, higher rates of immigration are needed. "It's not a crazy argument; it just happens to be incorrect."
nationalaffairs.com/publications/d…
“Demographers have known for a long time that, absent truly gargantuan and ever-increasing rates of immigration, it isn't actually possible for immigrants to undo or dramatically slow the overall aging of society.”
“Immigrants are human beings, not just the idealized workers or child-bearers that some commentators imagine. As humans, they immigrate at all ages, grow old over time, & are choosing to have smaller families… They do not fundamentally change the nation's age structure.”

Victims of marriage-related immigration fraud are telling their stories.

In many cases, aliens use the Violence Against Women Act, permitting them to "self-petition" for green card status, when they claim that their US spouse abused them.

Case No. 1: Female American Victim from New Mexico; Male Alien Spouse from China.
Case No. 2: Male American victim from Washington State; Female Alien Spouse from Bolivia.

EOIR and USCIS rulemaking notice proposes amending regulations on:

- Credible fear claims
- Applications for asylum
- Statutory withholding of removal
- Protection under the Convention Against Torture

To be published in the Fed Register on Monday.

cis.org/Arthur/Propose…
The notice runs 161 pages, but here are highlights of eight of the proposed changes:
1. Aliens subject to expedited removal and found by USCIS to have a credible/reasonable fear of persecution will be placed into "Asylum Only" or "Withholding Only" proceedings before imm court.

This will expedite valid claims, and quicker dismissal of non-meritorious ones.

.@CatoInstitute's illegal counts for healthcare occupations constitute an implausibly high share of post-1980 non-citizens.

cis.org/Camarota/Are-T…
@CatoInstitute For example, @CatoInstitute suggests 88% of all post-1980 non-citizen nurse-anesthetists are supposedly illegal, as are 71% of physician assistants.
@CatoInstitute In addition to obtaining an advanced education that is out of reach for most illegal aliens, doctors and other health care providers also need to be licensed, yet few states offer licenses to people who are not authorized to work in the country.
