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.

There are steps Congress can take to help fight fraud, but when something this valuable is on offer – residence in the United States – there will always be some who seek to break the rules to get it.
The Center for Immigration Studies has released a series of analyses examining a recent USCIS memo emphasizing that adjustment of status - the process allowing certain aliens, either temporary visa holders or unlawfully present, who are eligible for permanent residence to obtain it without leaving the United States - is a discretionary benefit and not a guaranteed alternative to consular processing abroad.

Spare me the faux outrage — or at least, mention the impact of the Laken Riley Act and sanctuary policies
Both Trump and his “Border Czar” Tom Homan would love to fill all of ICE’s 60,000-plus detention beds with alien killers, rapists, robbers, assaulters, burglars, thieves, larcenists, and shoplifters, but when at least half (likely more) of all alien criminals are being held or were released in jurisdictions that actively impede such enforcement, what do all of the media outlets and critics expect DHS to do?
Ian Roberts sentenced to prison, but many questions are still unanswered, even as two vulnerabilities in the immigration work authorization system are exposed
Who is “Dr.” Ian Roberts, aside from an illegal alien nonimmigrant overstay from Guyana turned school superintendent who seemingly rivaled “Professor” Harold Hill in The Music Man with his ability to flim-flam naïve but powerful U.S. educational institutions?
Why did DOJ wait to denaturalize a man who was convicted of immigration-related crimes in 2021?
It’s a positive development that DOJ now treats U.S. citizenship as “a privilege” that “must be earned honestly”, but that should have always been true. If it took 47 administrations to get to this point, I’m a tad dismayed — and a little concerned about what happens when 48 shows up.
Those who broke a key appropriations norm should be worried about payback
The word “deadbeat” describes those who demand what they won’t pay for, and little except partisan maneuvers prevented that epithet from being applied to Congress — the source of the immigration laws but a branch that until this week stalled on paying for their enforcement.
The good news is that between May 2024 and May 2025 the U.S. gained 41,060 computer jobs. The bad news is that in 2025 the U.S. imported 52,938 workers for computer jobs on H-1B visas alone. Even more foreign computer workers come under an alphabet soup of other work programs (e.g., OPT, L, E, TN).
The survey is all over the place — but it’s clear that voters want illegal criminal aliens gone
The latest Harvard/Harris poll is a mixed bag for the Trump administration. That said, it shows an increase in support for “mass deportations” of aliens here unlawfully, and a big jump in voters favoring removal of illegal aliens who have committed crimes in this country.
