Recently the Biden administration has been a adopting a tougher tone while speaking about the southern border. However, the NY Post has reported that behind the scenes, the administration is operating a program of a “mass amnesty” for migrants.
Since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country.
After having their case terminated, the migrants are removed from the legal system and are no longer required to even check in with authorities. Migrants can then legally roam around America, indefinitely, without fear of deportation.
Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge, described by saying: “This is just a massive amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,”.
“You’re basically allowing people who don’t have a right to be in the United States to be here indefinitely,” he said to The Post.
During 2020, under the Trump administration, 48,000 migrants were ordered removed from the US by immigration court judges. Fewer than 20,000 migrants were granted asylum by the US, and 4,700 people had their cases closed or were otherwise allowed to remain in the country, according to data collected by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
However in 2022, with Biden as President, a memo issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s principal legal adviser, Kerry Doyle, and seen by The Post instructed prosecutors at the agency to allow cases to be dismissed for migrants who aren’t deemed national security threats.
That year, 36,000 were ordered removed, 32,000 were awarded asylum, and 102,550 had their cases dismissed or otherwise taken off the books – 10 times the number from back in 2014.
In 2023, there were 149,000 cases in this latter category, and so far in financial year 2024 — which ends Sept. 30 — the data is certain to surpass that, with 114,000 cases closed already.
Since Biden became the President, 77% of asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the country, according to TRAC. That equates to 499,000 of the 648,000 who applied for asylum in the US in that time.
The current backlog of asylum cases stands at an overwhelming 3.5 million, and shaving more than 100,000 people a year is a way to make this administration look better, sources told The Post.
