		<title>Rethinking Immigration: Consular Voices Recorded in the Key of &#8216;No&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s resume our journey along the road where the arts intersect with America&#8217;s dysfunctional immigration system. (Previous blog stops en route are posted here and here.) Two weeks ago, USCIS made news when it reportedly held up the approval of a visa petition for America&#8217;s Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan, thus requiring Larry King to extend his term [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing with &#8216;the Reality of What Is&#8217;:  The GOP Quandary over Immigration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I&#8217;m having to deal with the reality of what is. You can&#8217;t wish it away. What is, is.&#8221; So says a glum Ohio Democrat, Governor Ted Strickland, according to reporter Laura Meckler in this weekend&#8217;s edition of The Wall St. Journal (&#8221;Democrats Face Economic Facts: Updraft Unlikely&#8220;). Meckler&#8217;s article reports on the prospect that Democrats [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dark Sides of Immigration Fame and Anonymity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For someone whose career had seemed in rocket-vectored ascendancy, Piers Morgan &#8211; famed British journalist, TV host, 2008 winner of Donald Trump&#8217;s Celebrity Apprentice, and 2006 season judge of America&#8217;s Got Talent &#8211; has encountered an implacable obstacle. The object reportedly in his way is so impenetrable that, even with help from CNN, Piers cannot pierce it.  
As first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Immigration:  Stop with the Protectionism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a supposedly-sleepy dog day of summer, last Thursday produced a disturbing clash of views on employment-based immigration in the two Washingtons &#8212; DC and WA.
Seattle, about as far from the Beltway as one can go in the lower 48, hosted the Northwest Summit of ImmigrationWorks &#8212; a coalition of large and small businesses bent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Immigration:  No More Border Voodoo Economics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Supporters of stricter border enforcement must have uncorked the champagne yesterday.  The Senate, in bipartisan fashion, broke a deadlock over funding and passed S. 3721, a $600 million emergency appropriation that would bring 1,500 more federal enforcers and unmanned aerial drones to the U.S. border.  Last week, the requisite number of House members voted &#8220;yea&#8221; to a similar bill [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Immigration: Congress Must Behave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amid all the pre-election hurling of vituperative, partisan accusations this week over a Federal Court&#8217;s partial injunction against AZ SB 1070 (Arizona&#8217;s foray into federal immigration enforcement), you would be forgiven if you overlooked two small but significant creatures in the immigration ecosystem.
A pair of remedial immigration bills, passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, awaits a vote in the Senate. Their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Immigration:  Who&#8217;s on First?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written time and again on the mission amnesia that afflicts federal immigration agencies. For students of bureaucratic behavior in the immigration ecosystem, another key lesson on forgetfulness can be learned in a teachable moment offered at taxpayer expense if we examine federal decisions in the pre-spill era before the offshore and onshore catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. 
To be [...]]]></description>

[Y]ou have to be prepared at any moment to face difficulties and even dangers by knowing what to do and how to do it.

		<title>The Right Immigration Question is at Last Approved by the OSC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while a government agency in the immigration space does the right thing. If I&#8217;m to maintain credibility and objectivity in the eyes of readers, I need to call out functional behavior when I see it &#8212; notwithstanding that this blog is dedicated to dysfunctions in the immigration ecosystem.
The agency worthy of [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Time for Lame Ducking on Immigration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t live in Washington, but almost every time I travel there, as I&#8217;ve done this week, something comes over me. Inside the Beltway, talk can give off the illusion of action.  The mouthing of words, however powerful on the printed page or eloquent when spoken, is seen here as equivalent to progress. 
President Obama&#8217;s July 1 speech [...]]]></description>
