The White House is transporting “single adult men” on flights to suburban New York meant to resettle migrant children under the cover of night, GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino claimed on Wednesday.
Astorino — who is looking to unseat Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul this fall — told reporters outside Stewart International Airport that one 20-year-old male migrant was placed into Westlake High School in Westchester County as a junior and is now 21 years old.
“I mean, by any definition, that is an adult,” Astorino said.
“I can tell you — and we have video — that it is not just the little kids with backpacks being reunited, reunified with their families … it is an expansion of this program,” the former Westchester County executive added. “And what’s happening is we’re having on video, clearly seeing many teenage boys, late teen, early 20s, who are single adult men, who are getting off these flights.”
Single adult males are the demographic most often turned away by border authorities, as they are more likely to be deemed economic migrants rather than legitimate asylum claimants.
The resettlement flights have been landing at Westchester airports since at least October of last year, when their existence was exclusively reported by The Post. They were briefly suspended following the exposé, but have since started up again. --->READ MORE HERE
Arrests of adult migrants who illegally crossed the border posing as unaccompanied children will surpass the total for the previous fiscal year, according to the El Paso sector of the U.S. Border Patrol.
Since October 1, 2021 — the start of fiscal year 2022 — 416 people have been identified as impersonating minors along the El Paso sector responsible for protecting 264 miles of the southwest border in New Mexico and West Texas
In comparison, in fiscal year 2021, which ran from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021, border guards stopped 559 scammers attempting to slip through the system.
On one occasion, agents at the El Paso Sector Central Processing Center uncovered a 24-year-old man from Guatemala intentionally using his 15-year-old brother’s birth certificate to enter the country.
In another incident, border officials at the processing center found that a 20-year-old Honduran national had presented a fake birth certificate so that he could be released into the country.
The El Paso sector declined to provide the dates and cities of both migrants for both incidents pending investigation.
