Thomas D. Klingenstein: American Renewal Must Begin with Love of America

By N.S. Lyons


The country today is divided between those who seek to preserve the old constitutional order and American way of life, and those who want to destroy it and establish a new, revolutionary regime.


N.S. Lyons argues, however, that even those who would defend the old order will fail if their efforts are not rooted in a true love of America and her people. Lyons observes that many on the Right, even the self-consciously MAGA Right, have not demonstrated that love — and, in fact, espouse a version of the same post-nationalism that drives the destructive Left.


This essay was first published on N.S. Lyons's Substack, The Upheaval.

Immigration Reform Law Institute: Alien Removal Under Attack in New Jersey

IRLI shows that district court cannot stop removal proceedings

WASHINGTON – The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has filed a brief in the federal district court for New Jersey opposing an effort to short-circuit congressionally mandated removal procedures in a case involving an alien whose presence or activities in the United States Secretary Marco Rubio has determined compromises United States foreign policy interests. The alien has also been charged with being deportable on a separate and independent basis--that he obtained his green card by misrepresenting material facts in his application to adjust status.

 

Congress has barred federal district courts from hearing challenges to actions taken to remove aliens from the country and has prescribed that all such challenges must be brought only in the courts of appeals at the completion of administrative removal proceedings. Petitioner claims that the district court can and should enjoin the government from seeking to remove him and others under the foreign policy ground of deportability, claiming that to do so would violate his First Amendment rights.

 

In its brief, IRLI shows that the petitioner has no chance of success in his argument because the district court has no jurisdiction or power to enjoin removal proceedings. Any review would be premature before the removal proceedings have concluded, with the brief noting that the statute protects petitioner's lawful speech absent compelling government interests to the contrary.

To prevent piecemeal litigation and streamline the removal process, Congress requires aliens to exhaust their administrative remedies before seeking judicial review of their claims in a petition for review filed with an appropriate court of appeals. This means, IRLI shows, that district courts cannot review any government action taken to commence removal proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders.

 

"Congress has understandably restricted federal district courts from hearing challenges to removal proceedings prior to completion of the administrative process," said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI. "By restricting judicial review to administratively final removal orders in the courts of appeals, Congress prevents questions of removability from being litigated in two forums at once—the administrative proceedings and the district courts. As for petitioner's claims here, they must fail, because Congress did not want district courts to short-circuit the administrative process. We hope the court recognizes its lack of jurisdiction over this matter and dismisses petitioner's case."

 

The case is Khalil v. Joyce, 2:25-cv-01963, (D.N.J.).


Thomas D. Klingenstein: The Cruelty Is the Point

By Peachy Keenan


Since the beginning of the Trump era, the destructive Left has accused its enemies — patriotic Americans — of being driven by cruelty.


But as Peachy Keenan illustrates with a survey of the latest supposed outrages, this "cruelty" only makes sense in light of their false concept of justice.


Under the proper, American understanding of justice, it is the destruction of our way of life that is cruel, and the attempt to defend it, even with unpleasant means, that is loving. Because a divide of this nature is the defining element of a cold civil war, Keenan urges Americans not to bend in the face of the enemy's bogus charges.

Immigration Reform Law Institute: IRLI Petitions Supreme Court to Save American Jobs

Shows DHS work authorizations for aliens are not permitted by law

WASHINGTON—Today, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), on behalf of its client Save Jobs USA, an association of technology workers, petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States to review a case that challenges the authority of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to allow aliens to take half of the new jobs the American economy creates each year.

 

IRLI shows that DHS, like any agency, only has the authority to implement statutes passed by Congress, and that DHS is not implementing any statute here, but acting on its own alleged authority.

 

In this petition, the issue is whether DHS can allow the accompanying spouses of certain H1-B workers to work in the United States, even though the visa that allows them to be in the country does not imply that DHS can let them work.

 

It is basic to administrative law, IRLI shows, that agencies only have the authority to conform to or carry out some principle of action laid down by Congress in a statute. And an agency only conforms to a statute when it makes a regulation that the statute affirmatively allows the agency to make. Here, the definition of the operative visa enacted by Congress does not affirmatively allow DHS to let holders of that visa compete with Americans for jobs.

 

What's more, if this program is combined with numerous other work programs DHS has created without permission in any part of the Immigration and Nationality Act, it turns out that DHS, without any congressional authorization, is slating half of the new jobs our economy creates in an average year to aliens—with devastating effect on Americans, including long-term unemployed Americans.

 

"If the Supreme Court is serious about reining in the unconstitutional power of administrative agencies, it should take this case," said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI. "A simple, powerful principle has been ignored by DHS, and the Court must make it clear: when an agency regulates under a statute, it has to do so in a way that statute permits. And the practical ramifications here are enormous for Americans in need of new jobs. We hope the Court grants review of this hugely important case, and confines DHS to the limits set by Congress and the Constitution."

 

The case is Save Jobs USA v. DHS (U.S. Supreme Court)


Thomas D. Klingenstein: Safetyism Kills by Peachy Keenan

Safetyism Kills


By Peachy Keenan


Watching the meetings and town halls in Los Angeles featuring the nitwits in charge getting yelled at by enraged homeowners as the city burned was enlightening. Again and again, the ridiculous Mayor Karen Bass, an openly communist revolutionary, brought up a persistent theme: the cult of safety.


The term "safetyism" became popularized in The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. It refers to the way modern society is overprotective and overbearing, the ultimate helicopter state, which has led to excessive and even destructive regulations that don't actually keep you safe, and which in fact may endanger you.


During President Trump's visit to Pacific Palisades and the round table meeting he held with California's worst supervillains, Karen Bass repeatedly admonished the angry, devastated Palisades homeowners that "the most important thing is your safety." The homeowners were angry about the timeline they had been given by L.A. County officials. According to the bureaucrats, it would take 18 months to clear the burned-out lots. Bass insisted they would be able to start rebuilding "immediately." When pressed on the 18-month clean-up the city was planning, she hedged with, "Well, you know that you will be able to soon. The most important thing is keeping you safe."


President Trump countered: "Safe? They're not safe now."
