California is in the middle of a historic drought as decades of mass migration into the state have caused resources to literally dry up.
Californians for Population Stabilization has warned of the role that mass migration into California has played in contributing to the catastrophic climate conditions, explaining that:
“California’s exploding population has created an insatiable housing demand that have impeded rescue efforts. Areas of California that were once undeveloped now have housing that makes accessing afflicted fire areas difficult.
California is home to nearly 40 million residents.. In 1990, California had 30 million people, and in…

President Biden wasted little time before shredding immigration enforcement policies, which has led to a surge in illegal immigration and a catastrophic new border crisis. Biden has taken 94 executive actions during his first 100 days as president, more than three times as many as President Trump did.
The Corridor News, reporting on a study from the Michigan Policy Institute (MPI), breaks down Biden’s open-borders agenda.
“‘The president’s actions can be divided into two categories: those undoing Trump’s actions and those aimed at enacting his own new policies to make the immigration system more welcoming,’ the report…

As tens of thousands of migrants arrive at the southern border, spurred on by the promise of amnesty from the Biden administration, an alliance of more than 100 big businesses and industry organizations are seizing on the moment to push for more amnesty that helps their bottom line.
A recent letter from the , which includes Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, sent to Congress, endorsed the American Dream and Promise Act. If passed, the bill would grant a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 2.1 million illegal alien “dreamers” currently living in the United States.

With the inauguration of Joe Biden as President behind us, the new administration’s immigration agenda is quickly taking shape and should concern all Americans.
During his first day in office, Biden issued a 100-day ban on deportations of illegal immigrants. Additionally, the President signed more than a dozen executive orders, including five that were aimed at reversing or changing the previous administration’s policies on immigration.
Unfortunately, many of Biden’s early actions on immigration could put out the welcome mat for more illegal migrants and put America at risk during the coronavirus pandemic.

If Joe Biden follows through on his campaign promises, he is likely to implement a number of immigration policies that America does not need and Americans do not want.
Details reported of Biden’s planned actions on immigration include:
- Amnesty — During the debates, Biden stated that within his first 100 days, he would “send to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people.” He may not be able to get that legislation through the Senate, but that’s not sure. Many corporate Republicans earlier supported the “Gang of 8” amnesty proposal. …

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Zoological Society of London recently published their 2020 Living Planet Report that tracks wildlife populations around the world. The biennial report tabulates the populations of animal species on the planet, and demonstrates how human activity affects biodiversity around the world.
According to the study, “the population sizes of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles have seen an alarming average drop of 68% since 1970.” This staggering drop shows how biodiversity, fundamental to human and wildlife, is being destroyed at an alarming pace.
The report documents that “in the last 50 years…

It is a historic time for American politics as our Zoom-in party conventions are decidedly unconventional. The Democratic Party achieved new heights in diversity, first by choosing a female vice-presidential candidate of African and South Asian descent, and then surpassing even that landmark by naming the oldest presidential nominee in history.
Amongst the drama, lack of drama, pandemic, social distancing, hyperpolarization, and histrionics, we mustn’t lose sight of the fact that policies make a difference.
Of particular concern is the Democratic ticket’s support for publicly funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. Both candidates support some form of government-funded…

The 2020 presidential election draws closer and immigration is once again taking shape as a hot button campaign issue. As both Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Trump jockey for political support and votes, various amnesty proposals are once again coming to the surface.
Historically, both political parties share near equal responsibility for decades of amnesty programs which have flouted U.S. law in favor of cheap labor interests and encouraged more illegal immigration. Now, in 2020 we once again see campaign promises and proposals which put political expediency over the interest of American workers.

To the surprise of most observers, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration’s rescission of DACA. Policy considerations aside, the ruling is legally troubling because President Obama ignored Congressional authority to make immigration law, and initiated the DACA program with a policy memorandum, not a formal Executive Order. The Court ruled, however, that to rescind the policy, the current administration must follow all the formal procedures of the Administrative Procedure Act. The bottom line is that the Supreme Court held that DHS 3must go through the formal notice and comment procedures in order to eliminate the…

As billions of people worldwide continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and recent social upheavals from tragic events such as the death of George Floyd, it’s important not to forget critical environmental issues that our planet continues to face.
One effort to put these concerns on the forefront is World Environment Day, which has been celebrated annually on June 5th since 1972. The global event was started by the United Nations to raise awareness of growing environmental issues our planet faces, such as pollution in our oceans, human overpopulation, and climate change.
As an organization that…
