President Biden expanded TPS as part of his broader effort to go around immigration limits set by Congress. During the Biden Administration, number of Temporary Protected Status beneficiaries tripled from roughly 400,000 to approximately 1.3 million. Haiti alone expanded from the original 60,000 in 2010 to 350,000 by the end of Biden's term.

At Earth Day's inception, population growth was central to the conversation, and was linked to rising pollution, resource depletion, and habitat loss.

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar came to the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2015, claimed asylum in 2019 and received a green card in 2021. While in the U.S., she promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks on American soldiers, and denounced the United States as the "Great Satan."

Without immigration-reduction, population growth and sprawl will continue to drive biodiversity losses and degrade Chesapeake Bay's water quality, commercial fisheries, and overall ecological health.

The actions of these state legislatures, combined with the inaction of Congress, are a gift to smugglers, traffickers and cartels who build their multi-billion-dollar industry on one simple message: the risk will be worth it.

Lionel Shriver's new novel "A Better Life" is both engaging fiction and a provocative thought experiment. It invites reflection on who bears the costs of immigration policies, and whether those costs are being equitably shared. For that reason, it comes highly recommended — as an absorbing novel and as a book worth sharing.
