Immigration Is No “Fix” for Social Security

By Eric Ruark

The argument that ongoing mass immigration to the United States is necessary to keep the Social Security program solvent is not based on any credible evidence or analysis. While immigration is not the fundamental problem facing Social Security, it is not going to “save” it, either. And, if immigration continues apace, it will only exacerbate … Continued

Americans tell pollsters they want to slow immigration-driven growth

By Jeremy Beck

Elected officials are at odds with voters. Americans are tired of the downstream effects of unsustainable population growth, and support reducing immigration to ease congestion, crowding, and development over America’s open spaces.

IG: DHS Failed to Properly Vet Afghan Parolees

By Chris Chmielenski

A scathing new report from the DHS Inspector General concluded that “DHS may have admitted or paroled individuals into the United States who pose a risk to national security and the safety of local communities.” The report’s findings and timing are significant considering that there’s a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress who are looking … Continued

Denial of mass immigration policy realities is exposing the holes in Biden’s bold environmental climate agenda

By Christy Shaw

Better keep President Biden’s hot air balloon ready for the escape.

By Roy Beck

The Supreme Court’s decision this week on the Remain in Mexico program does not have to be the final word on Pres. Biden’s dismantling of most border enforcement.
