• Immigration

The Biden administration is expecting a commitment from Spain to resettle refugees from the western hemisphere for the first time ever, according to Axios. The pledge comes with other expected commitments from Canada, which documents show plans to significantly expand its refugee commitment to the region and announce new recruitment efforts to bring Haitians into the country for work. Spain is also expected to agree to double or triple the number of temporary workers from Central America currently accepted through an employment-based migration program. There’s no telling however if migrants want to go to Spain which doesn’t have as many loose immigration laws or birthright citizenship.

The U.S. has added more than 2 million immigrants to its population since President Biden took office in 2021, according to a new report Wednesday that says most of the newcomers are arriving illegally. The surge is so overwhelming that it’s pushed up the projected point at which the U.S. will have its largest-ever share of immigrants, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. At the current pace of growth, 14.9% of residents will be immigrants as of sometime next year, topping the record set around the turn of the 20th century. That’s half a decade earlier than the Census Bureau’s last calculation, said Steven A. Camarota, the center’s director of research and the lead author of the new report. (The Washington Times)

According to a recent report by Axios, as many as 50,000 illegal aliens are waiting in Mexico for a chance to cross the border, hoping to "run out the clock" on the public health order known as Title 42. That 50,000 total is approximately double the official estimate made by the Administration in March 2022, when the decision to lift Title 42 was made. The massive total also means that approximately 8,000 aliens are attempting to illegally cross the border each day, with nearly 40% of those encountered so far this fiscal year coming from outside Mexico or the Northern Triangle countries. Documents show Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) releasing roughly 1,200 migrant adults and 1,300 family members into the U.S. every day. DHS admitted to tracking between 40,000 and 50,000 migrants waiting in Mexico for an opportunity to cross the border illegally. (NumbersUSA)

A piece from The Washington Post shares the story of “gringo hunters”, a unit of Mexican state police aimed at apprehending American criminals that have fled to Mexico. It’s ironic because the American media would never cover a unit created to find and hunt Mexican criminals hiding in the US with the same positive angle.

• Crime

The New York State Senate has passed the “Clean Slate Act”, a bill that if enacted would seal New Yorkers' criminal records three years after sentencing for misdemeanors and seven years for felonies, by a vote of 38-25. The fate of the bill now rests with the State Assembly. (Spectrum Local News)

A new study from a Columbia University research group has revealed that nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of New York City’s Asian population was impoverished, a proportion exceeding that of the city’s black population (19 percent). Additionally, in New York City, Asians’ relatively high poverty rate is accompanied by exceptionally low crime rates. This goes against the common belief that crime and poverty are in direct correlation. At 1.2 per 100,000, Asian murder arrest rates were nearly one-ninth of black rates, despite their poverty rates being higher than that of black New Yorkers. (City Journal)
