In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy podcast, Center for Immigration Studies analysts discuss the legal and policy implications of the Mahmoud Khalil case.Khalil, a Palestinian/Syrian/Algerian green card holder, was involved in pro-Hamas protests when a graduate student on a nonimmigrant visa at Columbia University. DHS charged Khalil under Section 237(a)(4)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which renders deportable any noncitizen “whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”CIS's Andrew Arthur and George Fishman review the facts of the case, analyze the constitutional and legal questions of what they predict will be a potential test for future efforts to remove noncitizens who support terrorism, and offer predictions. Four main questions are highlighted:Is this a free speech case? Can a noncitizen be removed for speech or action supporting a terrorist organization?Is this a foreign policy case? How does the government define “serious adverse foreign policy consequences”?What are the judicial precedents? How will courts balance foreign policy concerns against constitutional rights?Will this case set clearer lines on what a non-citizen can and cannot do? There is a need for the law to settle the spectrum of rights that apply to a spectrum of status. Will this be the case that will provide legal clarity?As the case moves through immigration court and on to federal district court and beyond, the Center for Immigration Studies will continue providing expert analysis on its broader implications for immigration enforcement and national security.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestsAndrew Arthur is a Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.George Fishman is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedFor more analysis, see our topic page: The Case of Mahmoud KhalilIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Fieldwork undertaken by the Center for Immigration Studies reveals a border now under control, offering clear evidence that the border crisis was never an unstoppable force but rather the result of policy decisions.Last week the Center sent analysts to the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector and across the border to Tijuana, and to the El Paso Sector and across the border to Juarez. These two border sectors had some of the heaviest migrant traffic over the last few years, but now the numbers have plummeted.Center researchers Andrew Arthur and Todd Bensman join Parsing Immigration Policy to discuss what they saw and what policies are making the difference, and three tools in particular:Infrastructure – Expanded fencing and additional concertina wire have been added.Manpower – Border Patrol agents are forward-deployed, no longer being pulled off the line for processing migrants.Criminal Prosecutions – Not only are apprehended migrants no longer being released, but illegal entry is increasingly being handled as a criminal offense, with first-time illegal-crossers facing up to six months in a federal penitentiary.In his closing commentary, host Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director, explains the Alien Enemies Act, enacted in 1798, which is now in the headlines due to the Trump administration using it as the basis for the swift deportation of a group of Venezuelan gang members. The law can only be triggered by a declared war, an invasion, or a predatory incursion by a foreign nation or government. Its application faces legal challenges and will likely reach the Supreme Court.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestsAndrew Arthur is a Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.Todd Bensman is a Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedA Border 'Peace Dividend'Eye-Popping February CBP Numbers Show How the Border Has Changed under TrumpThe 225-year-old 'Alien Enemies Act' Needs to Come Out of RetirementTrump Prepares to Use of the Alien Enemies ActIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

He began his legal career through the Attorney General's Honors Program as a clerk to an administrative law judge in the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer at the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review.This past Saturday, President Trump declared that through the month of February, his first full month in office, we saw the lowest number of illegal immigrants trying to enter the U.S. in history. Then there's also the quest to deport those already here illegally, with the primary focus on those who committed heinous crimes. Sadly, there are activists who have doxed ICE agents and revealed their whereabouts. Some within the media have also become involved by providing warning. Members of Congress have provided guidelines regarding what illegals should do if they are stopped by immigration officials. Then there are the states that are fighting the Trump administration in an effort to shield those who are breaking the laws of our nation. Review this broadcast and hear how President Trump has legally been able to get control of the border in ways other presidents chose not to, the effect of migrants on America's welfare/social programs, why you can be a Christian and believe in strong border control, what responsibilities our troops have on the border, the latest on fentanyl seizures and much more, including input from callers on this important issue.

In this year-end episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, experts from the Center for Immigration Studies discuss some of the defining immigration issues of 2024. From record-breaking numbers at the border to the administration's controversial policies and their impacts, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director, and analysts Andrew Arthur and Jessica Vaughan examine the events that shaped immigration policy this past year.Looking ahead, the panel explores what 2025 may hold:net-negative illegal immigrationincreased state legislation to restore integrity to the immigration systema push for amnesty for many here illegallypotential national security impact of Biden policiesincrease in legal immigration which will cause fireworks amongst the Trump coalitionWith immigration positioned to remain at the forefront of national discourse, this discussion offers valuable context for the road ahead.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsJessica Vaughan is the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.Andrew Arthur is the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

In the latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies' Parsing Immigration Policy podcast, host Mark Krikorian and CIS Fellow Andrew Arthur examine what a large-scale deportation effort might look like under the next administration. Using FY 2024 border statistics as a starting point, the episode highlights the logistical, political, and diplomatic challenges involved in cleaning-up the disaster the Biden administration has created by refusing to enforce the law.Key discussion points Include:Policy Shifts and Enforcement Challenges: Under the current administration, ICE has faced restrictions that limit detention and deportation capabilities. Arthur argues these limitations have enabled 1.4 million aliens under final removal orders to remain in the country.Logistics of Mass Deportation: The conversation explores how detention facilities, country jails, military bases, and expedited court proceedings could be leveraged, as well as the use of commercial flights for deportations.Diplomatic Complexities: Arthur outlines the challenges of, and solutions for, securing cooperation from home countries that do not accept their nationals to be returned, including using economic leverage or diplomatic incentives. There are hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the U.S. from recalcitrant countries, like Venezuela.Future Administrative Priorities: Arthur emphasizes that securing the border and reinstating ICE's operational authority will be critical first steps to enacting mass deportation.In his closing remarks, Krikorian highlights a recent blog post by CIS Fellow John Miano which discusses the executive branch's broad use of work permits to bypass congressional limits on immigration. By granting Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) to individuals without statutory eligibility, successive administrations have created a parallel immigration system, undermining legislative intent. Krikorian calls for statutory reform to ensure that Congress — not the executive branch — determines who is authorized to work in the United States.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Arthur is the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration StudiesRelatedMass Deportation is Just Another Term for Immigration NormalcyThe Executive Branch Has Created Its Own Separate Immigration SystemIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Border safety and security for Americans. That was a driving element in the recent presidential election because nearly 4 years ago, the Biden/Harris administration dismantled the border control policies that had been working effectively under the previous Trump administration. Millions of people have encroached on our borders. Some did it secretly, while others entered illegally by appointment using a special Biden/Harris supplied app. This has resulted in the criminal element creating havoc across America through violent crimes such as rapes, murders, car jackings and even the takeover of apartment complexes. Social services have been maxed out and our nation's health care, education system and housing have been impacted. Even many police and sheriff's departments have been overwhelmed while many law abiding citizens have been called upon to pick up the bill. However, a new day has dawned with President-elect Donald Trump returning to the White House and he's promised to close our borders to those seeking to enter illegally.Joining Jim to discuss what's ahead for border security was Andrew Arthur. Andrew is Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies.

The latest episode of Parsing Immigration Policy examines two key issues for the upcoming election: how former President Donald Trump might approach interior enforcement of immigration laws if elected, and the ideology behind the Biden-Harris policies that have led to the current border crisis.In a pre-recorded segment from a recent seminar, Andrew Arthur, the Center's fellow in law and policy, outlines what a return to normal immigration enforcement under a Republican presidency might look like.Key topics discussed include:Prioritizing Removals: How might Trump prioritize the removal of illegal aliens? Just for starters, the priority could be to find and remove the 99 aliens on the terrorist watch list who were released under Biden-Harris policies, followed by criminal aliens, and then the 1.29 million individuals already under orders of removal.ICE and Law Enforcement: ICE will be challenged due to staffing declines under Biden-Harris in ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division. But officers from the other main division of ICE, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), would help make up the shortfall.Sanctuary Policies and Criminal Aliens: How state and local police might handle criminal aliens under sanctuary policies.Detention and Deportation Logistics: The use of military bases and county jails for detention, commercial and charter flights for deportations, and potential obstacles from uncooperative countries are examined.E-Verify and Workplace Enforcement: Workplace enforcement, especially E-Verify, would likely play a critical role in Trump's approach.Our special commentary in this episode is the opening statement that Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director, provided before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. He testified that the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policy is not the result of incompetence or failure but a deliberate ideological stance. Describing the current border crisis as the largest in U.S. history, he highlights the over 10 million encounters with inadmissible aliens since January 2021. The administration's approach bypasses legal limits set by Congress and is driven by a belief in unlimited immigration. This, according to Krikorian, represents a significant departure from U.S. law and poses a challenge to national sovereignty.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Arthur is the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedGraph from Andrew Arthur's presentationMark Krikorian's TestimonyIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

A new episode of Parsing Immigration Policy explores Vice President Harris's role as the “Root Causes” Czar in addressing the U.S. migrant crisis. Discussing Harris's efforts and their impact are host Mark Krikorian, the Center's Executive Director, and Andrew Arthur, the center's Resident Fellow in Law and Policy. Key Discussion Points:What are “Root Causes”?Root causes refers to the underlying factors driving migration, including crime, violence, food insecurity, poverty, corruption, and climate change. The Biden administration's border strategy has focused exclusively on addressing these issues, also called “push factors”, in Central America, as opposed to “pull factors” in the U.S., to reduce the flow of migrants heading to the U.S. border.The Strategy:Vice President Harris has engaged in diplomatic efforts, including meetings with a few Central American leaders and private corporations, aimed at stabilizing the region and creating economic opportunities. However, her focus has been largely on just three countries – Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador – while migration from other regions has increased dramatically.What Was Done?Harris has visited Central America twice since taking on this role: once in 2021, and again in 2022 for the inauguration of Honduran President Xiomara Castro. Despite discussions around corruption and governance, corruption continues to worsen.Challenges and Criticisms:One major criticism of the administration's approach is the lack of measurable success. While Harris has highlighted investments in Central America, questions remain about how much investment has occurred, how much of this investment would have occurred anyway, and whether it has effectively curbed migration.The Biden administration has not emphasized a policy of deterrence. Without addressing the pull factors – such as the ability to live and work in the U.S., whether illegal migrants are detained or prosecuted, and the existence of formidable border infrastructure – mass migration to the U.S. will continue.A Global Issue:The episode also touches on the broader issue of migration, noting that many countries are experiencing significant illegal flows of migrants. Helping nations develop to a point where migration will no longer occur is a very long-term, and perhaps impossible, solution.Contrasting Success:A notable contrast is seen in El Salvador, where a significant drop in crime has occurred due to internal policies, including the arrest and prosecution of gang members. Despite this success, the Biden-Harris administration has not promoted El Salvador's approach, raising questions about the administration's commitment to effective solutions.In his closing, Krikorian highlights reports that Harris has reversed her decision on building more border wall and now embraces it. This talking point resulted from her DNC speech, where she said she would sign the failed Senate border bill, which referred to funding for the wall but provided no new resources. Is she flip flopping?HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Arthur is a Resident Fellow of Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedHow Fruitful Have Kamala Harris Root Causes Efforts Been?The Biden-Harris ‘Root Causes' Strategy, Decoded: Part OneThe Biden-Harris ‘Root Causes' Strategy Decoded - Part TwoKamala Harris and Feckless ‘Root Causes' Plan to Secure the BorderThe Spectator World: What did Kamala do to address the ‘root causes' of migration?The NY Post: Don't Believe for One Minute Kamala Harris' Fantasy Pivot on Open BorderIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Tommy talks to Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies

Since the fatal confrontation between Michael Brown and a Ferguson, Missouri Police officer, the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the resulting growth in anti-police activism, many communities are finding it more difficult to keep their officers and recruit new additions to their police departments. Logan Seacrest a Resident Fellow at the R Street Institute looked into ways departments and cities overall can entice good officers to stay on the job while recruiting the best candidates to apply for the jobs that have become far less attractive since Ferguson.

The “bipartisan” border bill failed again last week in the Senate, with even its Republican co-sponsor voting against it. While it may now seem moot, it's likely that the president and Democrats in Congress will spend the rest of the year pointing to Republican opposition to the bill as the reason for the continuing border crisis.For that reason, it's worth examining again the provisions of the proposed legislation. Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, joins this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy to do just that.Arthur discusses with host Mark Krikorian how, contrary to the administration's claims of political expediency, opposition to the bill is based on legitimate policy concerns, as the bill codifies the administration's disastrous policies at the border.Arthur discusses how the number of Border Patrol apprehensions and known gotaways have skyrocketed since Biden took office. Citing Judge T. Kent Wetherell's March 2023 Court Order, Arthur emphasizes that the border crisis is driven by the administration's policies that incentivize “irregular migration” by releasing asylum applicants into the United States.Arthur noted that the bipartisan border bill “codifies the very Biden release policies that Judge Wetherell found are driving this crisis” – specifically by mandating the release of asylum applicants and lowering the standards for asylum. The bill also contains a provision that allows the president to close the border if the weekly average of apprehensions reaches 4,000 per day, and mandates that the president close the border if weekly apprehensions reach 5,000 per day. By making 5,000 apprehensions per day the floor, the bill suggests that around 1.8 million illegal immigrants per year is acceptable; what's more, the bill sunsets this provision after three years, preventing future presidents from utilizing this power.Arthur concludes that the bipartisan border bill was a “lose-lose for…Republicans,” and he points to the House GOP's passage of H.R.2 – legislation which actually attempts to eliminate illegal immigration – as evidence that Republicans are serious about stopping illegal immigration, while the Democrats seek merely to “manage” the illegal flow.Finally, Krikorian and Arthur discuss the recent story of two Jordanian nationals – one of whom crossed the southern border illegally – who attempted to breach Quantico Marine Corps Base earlier this month. This incident reveals how the Biden administration's border policies threaten national security, making it more likely that a large-scale tragedy could occur, forcing Congress to finally address the border crisis.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Arthur is a Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedFact Sheet on Senate Border BillLeonhardt New York Times ArticleText of Senate Border BillText of H.R.2House Resolution blaming Biden for the Border CrisisMarch 2023 Court Order by Judge T.

President Biden and former President Trump are both scheduled to visit Texas border towns today, just as polling reveals widespread dissatisfaction with the president's handling of the border and immigration. With the failure of the Senate border bill and growing concern over the record number of border crossers, news reports suggest President Biden may announce executive actions that would stem the border crisis his policies created.This week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy welcomes guest Andrew Arthur, the Center's resident fellow in law and policy, who discusses one executive action that has been floated – barring aliens who enter illegally between ports of entry from being able to apply for asylum. Such a measure would replicate a previous regulation, the “Circumvention of Lawful Pathways” (CLAP) rule introduced in May 2023, that was designed not to lower border crossing numbers, but rather to “reduce wait times and crowds at U.S. ports of entry and allow for safe, orderly, and humane processing.” The rule faced legal challenges, notably in M.A. v. Mayorkas and East Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Biden. A judge in the latter case, however, suggested that the administration may be talking tough to appease a public anxious for border action while not fighting vigorously to defend his own asylum rule.Arthur ponders whether such a ‘sue-and-settle' scheme is now being hatched by the administration and advocacy groups. Could the president be floating tougher border rules in a political effort to appeal to voters, knowing that left-leaning advocacy groups will sue, allowing his administration to engage in settlement negotiations killing the rule if it is too unpopular with his base?Mark Krikorian, host of the podcast and executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, quotes circuit Judge Lawrence Van Dyke, who wrote in his East Bay Sanctuary Covenant dissent, “it looks like the administration and its frenemies on the other side of this case are colluding to avoid playing their politically fraught game during an election year.”In his closing commentary, Krikorian draws attention to security vulnerabilities at the Southwest border. He highlights the massive increase in Chinese nationals crossing in the San Diego area, where in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2024, 15 percent of all Border Patrol apprehensions were from China.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Arthur is the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration StudiesRelatedBiden Reportedly Considering Executive Action on Border CrisisSomehow, Biden's Immigration and Border Polling Gets WorseChina is exploiting Biden's lax border policies — imperiling US securityFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

He began his legal career through the Attorney General's Honors Program as a clerk to an Administrative Law Judge in the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer at the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review. Later in his career he was promoted to the Immigration and Naturalization Service General Counsel's Office in D.C., first as an Associate General Counsel, then as an Assistant General Counsel and Acting Chief of the INS National Security Law Division.--Crosstalk continues to monitor progress on our nation's southern border because many believe this to be a national security issue. One state, however, decided to take action. The governor of Texas made great efforts to secure his state but is being thwarted and fought against by the Biden administration. Speaking of the President, he curtailed many of the Trump policies which brought much broader protection to the U.S. He seeks to blame the previous administration and Congress as a source for failing to take action on what he describes as meaningful border control legislation. So what about the Senate-- Just yesterday they released their border bill. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson described it as -dead on arrival.---Just how bad is the situation-- FBI Director Christopher Wray has indicated that the number of illegal immigrants evading border patrol agents and escaping into our nation is a source of -great concern for the FBI.- Andrew noted that in December, Customs and Border Protection encountered about 300,000 people entering the U.S.

Bob Woodson is Founder and President of the Woodson Center and 1776 Unites. He is an influential leader on issues of poverty alleviation and empowering disadvantaged communities to become agents of their own uplift. Woodson is a frequent advisor to local, state and federal government officials as well as business and philanthropic organizations. His social activism dates back to the 1960s, when as a young civil rights activist he developed and coordinated national and local community revitalization programs. During the 1970's he directed the National Urban League's Administration of Justice division. Later he served as a Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Currently he is the Founder and President of The Woodson Center where he's on a mission to help residents of low-income neighborhoods address the problems of their communities.  Bob joins me today to discuss his approach to dealing with race relations in America and what he believes is a huge problem; the disconnection between work and income, in underserved communities.  “People are inspired to change and improve and cooperate when you can show them examples of victories that are possible, not always reminding them of injuries to be avoided.” - Bob Woodson One of the most powerful metaphors about that makes a difference is that to some on the left, Hank Aaron was the strikeout king. But to some of us who look at the glass as being half full, he was the home run king. It depends upon what your perspective is. - Bob Woodson “You should always look for antibodies. Even in the worst communities, there are healthy elements that I call community antibodies. If you say that 70% of the people in that community are raising children that are dysfunctional, it means 30% or not. You can learn nothing from studying failure except how to create failure.” - Bob Woodson  This week on The Wow Factor: How Bob's upbringing inspired him to work in Civil Rights The breakdown of the traditional American Family Why you can't define Black America by slavery The importance of looking for the solution to every problem Why you can't judge people by their past When you give freely, don't give with the expectation that you will be thanked Why you must stay faithful to what you do and not be so attached to the outcome of what you're doing Why America is a country of redemption Bob Woodsons Words of Wisdom: When you give freely, don't give with the expectation that you're going to be thanked.
