Axios reported yesterday that border officials were projecting “a peak of 13,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border in May.” A new Wall Street Journal report suggests even that might be conservative; the February number is expected to be 9,000, up 50 percent from January, which was itself up 18 percent from December; no growth rate can simply be projected into the future, but the number crossing by May could end up being a lot higher than 13,000.
That’s why the Biden administration has been forced to do exactly what the Trump administration did when faced with a similar surge, and has opened two detention centers for illegal-alien minors and families on the Texas border, with another one on the way; another in Florida, closed after Trump ended the flow, is slated to be reopened.
For the Trump administration, the increased detention capacity was a stopgap until the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols (colloquially known as Remain in Mexico) could be negotiated with Mexico, whereby Central American “asylum-seekers” were sent back to wait on the Mexican side until their hearing dates. This immediately put an end to the border crisis, since asylum claims were for most illegals merely a stratagem to gain access to the U.S. — half of those released into the U.S. to file asylum claims never followed through, and very few of those who did apply, and were rejected, returned home. So when a bogus asylum claim was no longer a free ticket into the U.S., claims dried up. --->READ MORE HERE
Welcome to the business boom for smugglers of illegal migrant children.
Joe Biden, the open borders president, is proposing amnesty legislation to provide the 11 million plus illegal aliens in this country a pathway to citizenship. During his CNN-hosted town hall meeting on February 17, Biden confirmed that such a pathway for citizenship must be included in any immigration bill that he would consider signing. The term “alien” would no longer be used in U.S. immigration law. Until the illegal aliens successfully complete the path to U.S. citizenship under Biden’s “reform” legislation, they are to be referred to as “noncitizen,” which is defined as “any person not a citizen or national of the United States.”
In the meantime, through executive action, Biden is handcuffing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in arresting and detaining illegal immigrants in the United States for eventual deportation. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton at least managed to slow things down a bit. He issued a nationwide preliminary injunction on February 23rd against moving ahead with implementation of Biden’s 100 day pause on most deportations. But Biden’s political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are undoubtedly searching for any loophole they can find.
Biden is allowing some migrants seeking asylum, who have waited in Mexico for months under the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, to enter and remain in the United States pending adjudication of their asylum applications. The catch and release policy is back as the aliens melt into communities across the country, where they can compete for jobs with unemployed U.S. citizens and increase the risk of further coronavirus spread.
Biden’s immigration policies are a disaster in the making, and he is just getting started. Biden’s welcome mat is encouraging thousands more migrants from Central America to join caravans making their way to the United States for easy entry. The number of illegal aliens have already increased since Biden took office. “When you send the message that you are not serious about immigration enforcement, you can’t act surprised when you see a massive influx of people that you have to manage,” said Jon Feere, a senior adviser to ICE during the Trump administration. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
