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.

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.
