That’s not what the law says. Only Congress can change the law.

A majority of the migrants Border Patrol apprehends are released into the US with future court proceedings, sometimes years away. That is why many of them seek out BP and turn themselves in. They don’t hope for release, they expect it.

Where's that moronic poster who always comes along to claim that "high apprehensions must mean the Biden administration is doing its job!" What a dolt.

Some questions to ask yourself:
1. WHY are those future court proceedings years away? It's because Republicans have steadfastly refused to provide funding to staff the courts up to reduce the backlog
2. WHY are there court proceedings at all? It's because the law says that many migrants/refugee seekers have to be given a hearing before they can be deported and Republicans have not come up with any coherent solution to change that
3. WHY are they being released into the US? Because there is nowhere else to put them and Republicans have likewise refused to address that.

But sure, do go on telling yourself how this is entirely a Democrat problem that will go away if only we vote for more Republicans. Republicans have consistently failed to solve, or coherently address it as well.

1. The future court proceedings are years away because Biden has welcomed millions - yes, millions of migrants into our country. Instead of maintaining the Stay ini Mexico plan, he did away with everything that was working to maintain some semblance of order at our border and now we have chaos.
2. We know that 90% or more of those coming in are not eligible for asylum since they are economic migrants. But, the cartels know that Biden will allow these people in - EVEN THOUGH HE SAID AFTER TITLE 42 ENDED THAT ANYONE ENTERING AT PLACES OTHER THAN PORTS OF ENTRY WOULD BE DEPORTED.
3. See answer #1.

Biden has been an absolute disaster for the border. And, we have meathead Mayorkas continue to say "Our borders are secure." That is the biggest crock of $hit.

Now, you answer these....

1. Why has the border been the worse it has ever been under Biden? There have been nearly 7 million encounters in 2 1/2 years.
2. Why did we not see these numbers under Trump?
3. Do you have any idea of how many got aways there have been under Biden? Do you understand why?
4. Do you know how many migrant deaths have occurred under Biden?
5. Do you know how many unaccompanied minors have been lost by Biden's administration?

Dark Brandon strikes again. Great job on the border! /s

The FBI is investigating more than a dozen Uzbek nationals allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials.

While the FBI says no specific ISIS plot has been identified, officials are still working to “identify and assess” all of the individuals who gained entry to the United States, according to a statement from National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson. And they are closely scrutinizing a number of the migrants as possible criminal threats, according to two US officials.

How many ways can the Democrats and Biden Administration say F'ck you to the US worker??

The Biden Administration announced plans late last Friday to further expand its unprecedented abuse of "parole."

The new program directs the Department of Homeland Security to grant parole to nationals from Columbia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who have an approved family-preference green card application. While their applications for visas have been approved, Congress has placed annual caps on the extended family chain migration visa categories causing them to join a waiting list that results in a 3+ year wait for their visas.

Under the new parole program, individuals with an approved immigrant visa application can apply for parole, allowing them to live and work in the United States for three years. The parole status can be renewed until a visa becomes available.

This latest program adds to the growing list of parole programs created by the Biden Administration. One program grants parole and a work permit to illegal aliens who claim to have a credible fear of returning home, regardless of the legitimacy of their claim, while another program sets aside 30,000 spots each month for individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

The burden of the border crisis should not fall on Black communities. It is high time that the needs of Black Americans be reflected in the nation's immigration policies. I look to support political candidates who will take immediate action to remedy immigration policies that are detrimental to Black communities.

1. The burden of the border crisis should not fall on Black communities. Shelter systems and other resources throughout the United States are being overwhelmed, with many cities putting the burden of the border crisis on communities predominantly made up of descendants of U.S. chattel slaves (Freedmen). Black communities should not be forced to accommodate or pay for a mismanaged border.

2. Immigration policy should not economically disadvantage Black workers. Black workers are heavily represented in industries that make use of foreign guest worker programs, including retail, leisure, and hospitality. 267,000 (90%) of the 300,000 new unemployment cases this Spring were Black workers, as Black unemployment remains at higher rates than others.

3. Immigration policy should not threaten the space needs of Black communities. The destruction of space is primarily driven by Congress' unsustainable immigration policies that force communities to accommodate more people with more schools, roads, places of business, hospitals, water treatment facilities, farms, parking lots, etc.

The border crisis should be stopped now by ending parole and asylum abuse. For more than 24 months, border patrol agents have made at least 125,000 apprehensions at the Southern border -- nearly 4 times the average number of apprehensions during President Obama's 8 years in office. Parole is meant for use on a case-by-case basis, not by groups of thousands of people at a time. Rather than undermining Black American communities, it is the federal government's responsibility to detain asylum seekers or return them to a safe third country while they await adjudication.

Additional actions to be taken now: Require businesses to use the free E-Verify system to ensure that they are hiring lawful residents, including the Freedmen population, instead of illegal workers. Restore our immigration system to a more honorable tradition by limiting chain migration as recommended by the bipartisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform.

1. You're an idiot. The years-long backlog didn't suddenly happen under Biden. It also existed under Trump, and under Obama as well. Obama repeatedly requested more funds for the courts and was repeatedly refused by Republicans. Trump on the other hand did jack shit about it. Learn something, will you?

2. It DOESN'T MATTER if they are economic migrants who were coached. THE LAW still says they have to have a hearing. If you don't like it then demand Republicans CHANGE THE LAW.

3. Per #1 you're STILL an idiot who doesn't know what the law or history is.

Every decision or lack of comes down to money. That’s all Dems or GOP at the top care about. Until you hit corporations where it hurts, none of this matters. The same fools complaining about illegal labor are the same fools who would moan about rising costs of everything if said labor were to disappear. I’m not advocating for open borders. But this is a lot more complicated.

This is all part of their plan. Texas, and 21 other states, are suing to stop this inappropriate use of parole......

A key portion of President Joe Biden’s immigration policy that grants parole to thousands of people from Central America and the Caribbean was set to be debated in a Texas federal courtroom beginning Thursday.

Under the humanitarian parole program, up to 30,000 people are being allowed each month to enter the U.S. from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Texas is leading a lawsuit filed by 21 Republican-leaning states to stop the program, arguing the Biden administration has overreached its authority. Other programs the administration has implemented to reduce illegal immigration have also faced legal challenges.

In court documents, Texas and the other states have called the Biden administration’s program an “extreme example” of not enforcing immigration laws that require it to “grant parole only on a case-by-case basis for significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian reasons.”

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/texas-trial-to-begin-in-lawsuit-over-biden-parole-policy-for-migrants-from-4-countries


This is how the guidelines read:
Section 212(d)(s)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA, or the Act) authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)2 "in his discretion (to) parole into the United States temporarily under such conditions as he may prescribe only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit any alien applying for admission into the United States,.. ." Parole is an extraordinary measure, sparingly used only in urgent or emergency circumstances, by which the Secretary may permit an inadmissible alien temporarily to enter or remain in the United States. Parole is not to be used to circumvent normal visa processes and timelines.

https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/reports/parole-authority-moa-9-08.pdf

They are clearly in violation. Texas should win this suit.

The years-long backlog has gotten ten times worse under Biden.
Why did he do away with the Stay in Mexico plan? Answer: Because he wanted a surge at the border. He even said he wanted a surge. This is part of his plan.
I do know the law. Our law also states to deport those who are present illegally. But, this administration has told CPB that simply being present illegally is not a reason for deportation. They are facilitating the trafficking of humans, of drugs, and of criminals across our border.
He cannot be gone soon enough. He and his cabinet and appointees are destroying the country in so many ways.

As a Democrat, I am shocked to learn about the disastrous outcomes of the catch-and-release policies under the Biden administration.

40% of migrants released by the Biden Administration never checked in. Another 40% never received a "notice to appear" at all.

82% of migrants released have not been entered into the court docket. Of the 18% who have been entered into the court docket, most will wait years before their case is heard - most will lose, and almost none will face consequences if they refuse to leave when ordered.
Our communities are facing severe challenges in providing for migrants released into the United States.

Time to end catch-and-release policies and reform asylum and parole programs.

Horrendous.

An illegal Haitian migrant, who didn’t even have a valid drivers license, crashed into a school bus on the first day of school in Ohio.

He came to the US in 2022, was given a court date to appear, but was released into the US.

CLOSE THE BORDER!
