This Week's Immigration Update w/ Allen Orr

April 7, 2026·5 min
Clay Cane introduces the episode as an extended version of his Sirius XM Urban View radio show. Guest Allen Orr, former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, provides an immigration update. Orr first mentions a Supreme Court case on June 20th about green card holders being denied entry due to unadjudicated charges. He then discusses another case on Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, questioning if ending it was racist. Orr references a presidential social media post depicting Somalis at Mall of America with a negative song, linking it to racist immigration tones. He connects this to a recent Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship, focusing on birth tourism. Orr debunks the statistic of 300,000 such births annually, noting it's a small fraction of total U.S. births and includes long-term visa holders. He explains that a 2020 rule already addresses immigration-related travel, making the Supreme Court case unnecessary. Orr emphasizes the Supreme Court's role is to interpret laws, not write them, and changes require Congressional action. He critiques the White House for hoping the court 'gets it right' instead of pursuing legislative changes. Orr updates on immigration enforcement, noting a new acting official may serve 200 days with no policy shifts, leading to continued deportations. The episode concludes with a call to tune into Clay Cane's regular show.
