New from Francisco Rodríguez, myself, and Giancarlo Bravo:

That recent counter-intuitive @cgdev.org piece by Bahar and Hausmann suffers fatal flaws, starting with a Stata programming error. We fall back on the intuitive conclusion that U.S. economic conditions drive encounters at the border

Do Venezuelan Oil Revenues Drive Migration to the US? A Reappraisal of the Bahar and Hausmann Results

We show that their results are driven by a flawed empirical specification that appears to be the result of a coding error.

Hard to overstate how much credibility Chris Van Hollen has with critics of the Democratic Party's foreign policy in MENA simply because he's a liberal who means it when he says he wants to see liberal values translated into action

A very important job for policy intellectuals right now, I think, is making the positive case for immigration - not just the economic case, tho that is helpful, but the idea that a world where people can more freely cross national borders is a better world.

Stata users: if you aren't already, definitely start using bookmarks to create headings and sub-headings in your .do files. Such a big help! **# in a .do file creates a heading; **## = subheading; **### = sub-subheading. Then double-click on them to jump right to that section 👍

Anyway, the world does not need another post dunking on Josh Barro. What it does need, is a word for the fallacy where you make up some weird stereotype about people, and then when it turns out they don't actually act that way, you think that's something strange about *them*.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking ‘Bounty Hunter’ Firms

Immigration and Customs Enforcement lifted a $180 million cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program while guaranteeing multimillion-dollar payouts for private surveillance firms.

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter

U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate.
