U.S. Department of State Announces Prohibition on “Birth Tourism”

On Jan. 24, 2020, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) posted a final rule, effective immediately, imposing new restrictions on individuals applying for B nonimmigrant visas at U.S. consular posts outside of the United States.

I’m the child of immigrants, and ‘my mission is to save your life no matter what you stand for’

I’m the child of immigrants, and ‘my mission is to save your life no matter what you stand for’

Yet when I see the United State’s policies separating immigrant families — families like mine — what seems like more incidents of race and culture-based violence daily, and the growing distrust of people from immigrant communities, it makes me wonder how some people fail to see the humanity of their neighbors.

Anti-immigrant mentality in Senate Bill 1 is not my Kentucky home. It will hurt families.

As 2020 came, many of us counted down with hopes that the New Year would bring new experiences and new ways forward. Despite the calendar telling us it was 2020, Frankfort’s calendar still said 1990. On the first day of the legislative session, the Kentucky Senate announced as their top priority an anti-immigration bill, Senate Bill 1, that, if passed, will ultimately lead to family separations across the Commonwealth.

How America’s weak immigration means a weak economy

After years pushing a narrative that immigrants threaten the American economy, the Trump administration is reducing immigration to the U.S., and it’s not just illegal immigration––legal immigration is falling fast.

But as the U.S. grows more desperate for more people, native-born Americans are paying the price, too.
