90% of illegal immigrants released by Biden have not sought asylum, report reveals.
Congressional Report Reveals Biden Administration’s Release of 2.1 Million Illegal Immigrants at Southern Border
A shocking congressional report has exposed the Biden administration’s controversial decision to allow federal law enforcement at the southern border to release a staggering 2.1 million illegal immigrants into the United States. This alarming revelation covers the period between President Joe Biden’s first day in office and March 31, 2023, with a shocking 90% of these individuals failing to claim asylum.
During this 26-month timeframe, a total of 3,447,327 people were encountered at the southern border. Astonishingly, the overwhelming majority of 2,148,738 individuals were granted entry into the country, according to a detailed analysis of government data released by the House Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on immigration integrity, security, and enforcement.
Biden Administration’s Failure to Remove Illegal Entrants
The report further highlights the Biden administration’s significant failure to remove individuals who illegally entered the country and were subsequently placed into court proceedings. The Republican-controlled committee emphasized that, between January 20, 2021, and March 31, 2023, only 5,993 illegal aliens encountered at the southwest border were removed from the United States through immigration court removal proceedings. This means that approximately 99.7% of the 2.1 million released illegal aliens were not removed.
Most immigrants were released from federal custody with a notice to appear, requiring them to report to immigration officials once settled in the U.S. However, court proceedings can take years, and the committee pointed out that many immigration courts have scheduled initial appearance dates three to five years in the future. This undermines the Biden administration’s claims of swift removals and a closed southwest border.
“This information contradicts the assertions of the Administration, and the statements of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, that the southwest border is closed and illegal aliens are removed from the country quickly,” the report stated.
Lack of Asylum Claims and Initial Screenings
Out of the 2.1 million immigrants released into the U.S., approximately 1.9 million did not make an asylum claim before being released by the Biden administration. Shockingly, most immigrants were released without undergoing an initial screening to determine if they met the minimum requirements for the asylum-seeking process.
The Department of Homeland Security referred inquiries to a White House spokesperson, who accused House Republicans of launching baseless attacks on the administration’s border policies. The spokesperson highlighted President Biden’s request for $4 billion from Congress to enhance border enforcement and personnel, but criticized House Republicans for refusing to act on this request.
The White House also pointed out that the Republican report failed to mention the number of illegal immigrants who were immediately removed from the U.S. under a separate category from those placed in court removal proceedings. They emphasized that since May 12, nearly 300,000 individuals have been removed or returned, with over 3.6 million repatriations and expulsions since January 2021.
Last week, the White House announced plans to immediately deport illegal immigrants from Venezuela who unlawfully cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Senior administration officials revealed that repatriation flights for removable Venezuelan immigrants would resume.
It is clear that the issue of illegal immigration at the southern border remains a contentious and complex challenge for the Biden administration, with significant implications for national security and immigration policy.
What concerns do critics have about the Biden administration’s immigration policies in light of the report’s findings
Moreover, the report revealed that a significant number of released illegal immigrants have failed to appear for their immigration court hearings. According to the data, only 16% of individuals released on their own recognizance attended their initial immigration proceedings. This raises serious concerns about the administration’s ability to effectively enforce immigration laws and ensure the integrity of the immigration court system.
The report also highlighted the impact of this mass release of illegal immigrants on border communities and the burden it places on local resources. As these individuals are released into the country, there is a strain on housing, healthcare, education, and other public services in these communities. With such a large number of illegal immigrants being released, it becomes increasingly difficult to effectively manage and support these communities.
Critics of the Biden administration’s immigration policies argue that this report is evidence of a lack of commitment to border security and immigration enforcement. They argue that the mass release of illegal immigrants sends a message of leniency and weakens the deterrent effect of immigration laws. Additionally, it raises concerns about national security and the potential for individuals with criminal backgrounds or ties to terrorist organizations entering the country undetected.
In response to the report, the Biden administration has emphasized the need for comprehensive immigration reform and a compassionate approach to addressing the challenges at the southern border. They argue that the focus should be on finding long-term solutions rather than simply relying on deportation and enforcement measures.
However, critics argue that while comprehensive immigration reform may be necessary, it should not come at the expense of border security and the enforcement of existing immigration laws. They argue that a balanced approach is needed to ensure the integrity of the immigration system while also addressing the humanitarian aspects of immigration.
In conclusion, the congressional report exposes the Biden administration’s release of 2.1 million illegal immigrants at the southern border, raising serious concerns about immigration enforcement, national security, and the strain it places on border communities. While the administration emphasizes the need for comprehensive immigration reform, critics argue for a balanced approach that addresses both the enforcement of immigration laws and the humanitarian aspects of immigration. The findings of the report underscore the need for a thorough examination of the current immigration policies and a reevaluation of the priorities of the Biden administration in addressing the challenges at the southern border.
