A new analysis concludes that the Supreme Court's recent decision limiting President Trump’s tariff authority is unlikely to invalidate the administration’s $100,000 H-1B entry fee, despite a recent federal district court ruling to the contrary.
CIS Analysis Says Result Will Be Stronger Interior Enforcement
The Supreme Court today ruled that, with only narrow exceptions, children born in the United States are U.S. citizens regardless of their parents' immigration status. A new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies examines the decision's legal reasoning and its likely impact on immigration policy - it is likely to intensify calls for stronger immigration enforcement.
Two new analyses by Center for Immigration Studies Senior Legal Fellow George Fishman conclude that a recent court ruling correctly reaffirms a fundamental constitutional principle: Congress, not the executive branch, writes the nation's immigration laws.
This new report finds that households headed by non-citizens access means-tested welfare programs at substantially higher rates than households headed by U.S.-born Americans in virtually every state.
Interview with the head of America’s largest law enforcement agency
Rodney Scott, Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, joined Center Executive Director Mark Krikorian for an in-depth conversation on the challenges facing CBP and the administration’s broader enforcement strategy.

Simply put, the laws don’t require us to let aliens in to seek asylum
In essence, the Biden administration put “the asylum cart in front of the enforcement horse”, concluding section 208 of the INA required CBP to usher aliens who made it to the threshold of the United States the rest of the way in and couldn’t use force of any kind to keep them out. In Al Otro Lado, the justices explained how wrong that conclusion was, and in so doing, reasserted our status as a sovereign nation.
Credit policy changes under Trump II and blame a lack of initial screening under Biden
Expect asylum denials to increase and grants to decline, both in real numbers and as a percentage of total decisions, at least as long as Trump is president. Part of that has to do with an effort by DOJ under Trump II to tighten the asylum rules, but you can fault the Biden administration, as well: Its migrant “catch and release” policies left IJs with a lot of bad asylum claims to reject.
Appellate board gives a quick tutorial on how IJs should make credibility determinations — and how not to.
In countless interactions, from personal relationships to business ones, we all operate under a baseline rule: Don’t trust a liar, especially when the benefits of lying are great and the downsides limited. Thanks to the BIA, immigration judges can now follow that fundamental rule of human existence in their courtrooms, as well.
