New NPG Forum Paper Explores the U.S. Immigration System After Title 42

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, June 29, 2023

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Following President Joe Biden's executive orders that effectively eliminated immigration enforcement measures along the southern border, a new era of sustained mass migration has been rolling unimpeded across the American frontier. According to The Point of No Return, a Forum paper written by Mark Cromer and published by Negative Population Growth, Inc., this migratory wave has been funneled into a national network of NGOs, religious organizations, and other groups that facilitate their dispersal and settlement across the country. Some analysts suggest that the actual number of migrants entering the U.S. is likely to be even more staggering than what is being officially reported. Cromer looks into the issue in-depth and reveals how a system ostensibly created to control immigration has been reconfigured – or corrupted – into one that facilitates a flood of humanity.

Key Points: 
  • Cromer looks into the issue in-depth and reveals how a system ostensibly created to control immigration has been reconfigured – or corrupted – into one that facilitates a flood of humanity.
  • Cromer asserts that leadership from both parties in Congress generally share an almost neutral "It's not as bad as it looks" approach to immigration.
  • Looking at working-class American culture, Cromer explores commentary that has cynically cast mass immigration as a necessity stemming from Americans' refusal to work.
