For a Really Excellent Immigration Report, Try Australia’s Offering
By David North

Excerpt: If you want to understand a nation’s immigration policy, and its consequences, you should examine – or just leaf through – Australia’s annual report, Population Flows: Immigration Aspects 2008-2009 Edition.
The document, which covers the year ending June 30, 2009, is the very model of a modern report on a nation’s immigration; the United States produces nothing like it.

Wishful Thinking from the Center for American Progress

Excerpt: In the progressive political circles I frequent, I often hear exclamations of amazement regarding climate change deniers. ‘How can these people reject the mountain of evidence that the world is warming? How can they deny the scientific consensus regarding humanity’s leading role in disrupting the climate? How, in good conscience, can they ignore climate change’s potentially disastrous impacts on their own children and grandchildren?’

Good and Bad News on the Investors’ Visa Program
By David North
CIS Blog, October 16, 2010

Excerpt: The good news about the Investor’s Visa Program (which gives everyone in the alien’s family a green card for a two-year-long, half-million-dollar investment) is that its use apparently has dropped by about 50 percent in FY 2010.
The bad news is that, with each passing year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approves a larger and a larger proportion of the EB-5 applications presented to it.

Chinese Illegals Coming to U.S. via Haiti (!) and Belize

Excerpt: If you think American entities sometimes have trouble enforcing the immigration law, you should hear about how some other countries handle the challenge.
This week’s prime example features the small Central American nation of Belize, with China, Cuba, and Haiti all playing supporting roles.

Murdoch and Bloomberg Put Profit Ahead of Principle
By Ronald W. Mortensen
CIS Blog, October 13, 2010

Excerpt: The headline on a news story reads, ‘Rupert Murdoch Calls for Amnesty for ‘Law-Abiding’ Illegal Immigrants.’ (Watch the congressional hearing where he said this, which also featured CIS Director of Research Steven Camarota, here.)
Like many other Americans, including New York Mayor Bloomberg, Murdoch apparently believes that sneaking into the United States or lying to a U.S. Consular Officer in order to obtain a visitor visa which they overstay are the acts of the law-abiding.
