Biden’s DHS Gives Cellphones to over 255K Border Crossers, Illegal Aliens Released into U.S.:
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has given cellphones, with the intent of tracking their whereabouts, to more than 255,000 border crossers and illegal aliens released into the United States over the last year.
The data, published by DHS, reveals the extent to which the Biden administration has ballooned the size of the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program to more easily and quickly released hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
Hundreds of thousands more border crossers and illegal aliens are released into the U.S. interior with only Notices to Appear (NTA) in federal immigration court at later dates. Federal data has long suggested that a tiny fraction of border crossers and illegal aliens end up having valid asylum claims.
The latest ATD figures show that from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022, Biden’s DHS gave cellphones to monitor more than 255,000 border crossers and illegal aliens. The phones are meant to be used so the agency can track their locations. The phones cannot be used to search the internet or make other calls.
The cost to American taxpayers is more than $360,000 every day.
For comparison, just 26,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were given the cellphones for monitoring purposes in Fiscal Year 2021 — indicating the Biden administration has increased the use of the program by about 880 percent. --->READ MORE HERE
'Costly failure': Biden admin gave 300K+ smartphones to migrants, cost over $360K a day:
In a costly endeavor, President Joe Biden's administration has reportedly issued over 300,000 smartphones to noncitizens who have migrated to the United States.
The phones are meant to track the newcomers who are awaiting court dates, according to U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and use facial recognition, GPS monitoring and voice identification.
It's all a part of the "Alternatives to Detention Program (ATD)." The smartphones cost taxpayers $361,218.08 per day, according to ICE.
Jon Feere, the director of investigations at the Center for Immigration Studies and a former senior advisor at the Department of Homeland Security, called the program a "costly failure" while speaking with the Washington Free Beacon last month, claiming thousands of migrants don't engage or keep up with the programs and just disappear, --->READ MORE HERE
