During a podcast appearance last week, former President Donald Trump made an uncharacteristic argument. "What I will do, is you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he said, adding that he would even include graduates of junior colleges. A Trump campaign spokesperson quickly tempered that proposal, promising an "aggressive vetting process" that would "exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges." The green card offer would only apply to college...

After casting my first vote for Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election, I was shell-shocked after Ronald Reagan was swept into office. Then something odd happened. I was buoyed by Reagan's optimism, became convinced about the evils of communism and came to realize the free-market economy—rather than expanded federal power—offers the best hope for the downtrodden (and everyone). The Gipper convinced me. He had some help from former Buffalo Bills quarterback and then-U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp (R–N.Y.), who was an architect of Reagan's tax cuts. I was influenced by one of his articles making th...

Overwhelmed by a major increase in migrants seeking asylum in recent years, Cyprus is struggling to process their cases. While waiting for their legal status to be determined, most asylum seekers live well below the poverty line, and many rely on charity. "I am suffering with health issues. Because of that, I am not able to have a normal life and I'm just a single mom," an asylum seeker from Afghanistan told Euronews. "God forbid anything was to happen to me. Who is going to take care of my son? He's underage." Most asylum seekers live well below the poverty line. Many ended up on the Mediterr...

Immigration is a top issue for American voters and was widely expected to play a major role in tonight's debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. In a section devoted to the issue, neither candidate could muster up a positive vision for the country's immigration system, focusing instead on enforcement-heavy rhetoric and neglecting the benefits of immigrants. Asked about the high number of illegal border crossings under his watch, Biden quickly took a hawkish tone: "By the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position." He criticized Trump for "separating...

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that people whom the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would like to levy civil penalties against for alleged fraud violations are entitled to a trial by jury. That decision, though consequential in isolation, will likely have effects that extend far beyond that one agency. At the heart of the ruling is George Jarkesy Jr., a hedge fund manager who oversaw the investment advising firm Patriot28, LLC. The SEC accused him and the company of "misrepresenting the investment strategies that Jarkesy and Patriot28 employed," "lying about the identity of the fund...

On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the hiring of 10 artificial intelligence experts as the first members of its new "AI Corps," which will eventually become a 50-member advisory group. The new hires "will help DHS responsibly leverage new technology and mitigate risks across the homeland security enterprise," a press release explained. AI shows promise for "strategic mission areas," DHS says, such as "countering fentanyl trafficking, combatting online child sexual exploitation and abuse, delivering immigration services, fortifying critical infrastructure, and enhan...

New York (AFP) - Nahun Romero, a Honduran footballer who arrived in New York penniless and undocumented, is living his American dream in the Big Apple where he leads a successful sports school. Romero's soccer academy, with its hundreds of hopeful kids, might have been unimaginable for the Honduran second flight player, who had been in New York working construction full time while moonlighting as a coach. One of the toughest hurdles to climb came six years ago, when he had to convince parents to entrust their children from ultra-diverse Queens to this former Honduran footballer and bricklayer ...

Washington (AFP) - New restrictions by President Joe Biden have brought a sharp drop in the number of migrants trying to cross the Mexican border, the White House said Wednesday, as it sought to turn the tables on an issue dear to rival Donald Trump. Biden earlier this month issued an order to shut down the border to asylum seekers once daily limits are hit, bringing anger from the left wing of his Democratic Party base. Since the rules went into effect, the Border Patrol has had an average of 2,400 encounters a day, the lowest level since January 2021, before Biden took over from Trump, the D...
