CIS takes look at the prior fiscal year’s refugee resettlement admissions. One difference, though, is that this year’s overview will not include the religion of refugees. cis.org/Report/FY-2021…
Data on religion has been removed along with other information on resettled refugees such as gender, age, education, etc.
FY2021 proposed allocations spots under Pres Biden’s new ceiling of 62,500 refugees are as follows:
Africa 22,000
East Asia 6,000
Europe & Central Asia: 4,000
Latin Am & Caribbean: 5,000
Near East & S Asia: 13,000
Unallocated: 12,500
Grand Total: 62,500
Migrants from the Middle East & Asia are bused to the country’s western border, & given instructions on how to cross into EU countries. "On some occasions, they are even supplied with wire cutters to break through any border fencing they might encounter." nationalreview.com/2021/11/weapon…
Lukashenko is betting that the EU will blink in the face of coverage by its anti-borders media of desperate & freezing migrants stuck in a no-man’s-land on the border. nationalreview.com/2021/11/weapon…
The budget reconciliation package pushed by Democrats creates a new expanded child tax credit (CTC) that would pay illegal immigrants some $10.5 billion next year. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/…
"All immigrants with children are eligible, regardless of how they got here and whether their children are U.S.-born.” realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/…
Although it is referred to as a “refundable credit,” the new CTC, like the old additional child tax credit (ACTC) it replaces, pays cash to low-income families who do not pay any federal income tax. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/…
"Looking at just the two SIV programs for Afghan nationals, there are about 100,000 people, including family members, at issue." cis.org/Rush/How-Many-…

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.”
