BREAKING

Biden Nominee for USCIS Director Seems to Defend Birth Tourism

Published

on

According to this article on Center for Immigration Studies, by Robert Law

“President Biden has nominated Ur Jaddou, who spent the past four years as a vocal advocate for unlimited immigration and a critic of the Trump administration, to become the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Last week, I analyzed a portion of Jaddou’s written responses to Questions for the Record (QFR) submitted by several Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans that reveal that Jaddou is a proponent of executive amnesties using a broad and categorical interpretation of parole and deferred action. In this follow-up piece, I will focus exclusively on Jaddou’s concerning defense of birth tourism.

Birth tourism is the controversial practice of an alien woman entering the United States, typically on a B nonimmigrant tourist visa, to give birth here so that the child will acquire U.S. citizenship. The current interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution grants U.S. citizenship to nearly every baby born in the country. Treating the child as a U.S. citizen opens up the ability to sponsor relatives for green cards down the road. Unsurprisingly, this treatment has given rise to a lucrative shadow industry that the Center estimates results in at least 20,000 to 26,000 birth tourists each year.”

House Republicans push asylum restrictions, border security

Published

According to this article on Associated Press, by STEPHEN GROVES

“WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans for months have railed against the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. border with Mexico, holding hearings, visiting border communities and promising to advance legislation to clamp down on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

But so far, they have failed to unify behind a plan, delaying efforts to pass legislation.

Now they are hoping to change that. Republicans on Wednesday jump-started work on an immigration and border enforcement package that would remake immigration law to make it more difficult to apply for asylum and easier for the federal government to stop migrants from entering the U.S. It combines proposals from a number of conservative hardliners into a single bill.”

According to this article on Politico, by Myah Ward

“President Joe Biden’s immigration problem isn’t just about policy. It’s that he’s not talking about the issue enough, voters say in a new survey from a Democratic polling firm.

Fifty-eight percent of voters in seven key Electoral College battleground states disapprove of how the president is handling immigration, compared with 32 percent who approve, according to a new swing-state poll from Global Strategy Group first shared with POLITICO. And a majority of voters surveyed, at 52 percent, believe Biden is ignoring problems at the border, while 50 percent said the president is ignoring the situation around undocumented immigrants.”
