The Biden administration is effectively offering amnesty to illegals as it quietly closes 350,000 (!!) asylum cases
· Jun 3, 2024 · NottheBee.com

Remember when we were letting illegals into our country, giving them court dates, and then just sort of hoping they'd show up to court?

Well, it looks like now it's even worse than that. Since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases have been closed by the US government, and they don't even require the asylum seekers to appear in immigration court.

Why?

Data shows that 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.

This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases are 'terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim' — they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities.

The move allows them to legally, indefinitely roam about the US without fear of deportation, effectively letting them slip through the cracks.

They're not a threat, so they just get to hop our border and stay. Like, that's worse than catch and release — these people don't even have court dates!

Simply put, our government is just letting illegals into the country now. If we don't see any criminal background they can just come on in and find a job working for cash somewhere.

In 2022, under Biden, 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 in 2014.

You can't say illegals are voting in our elections if they aren't technically illegal anymore!

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 assumed office, 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 3.5 million, and shaving more than 100,000 people a year off it makes the administration look better, sources told The Post.

Once cases are closed, migrants are no longer in 'removal proceedings' and subject to deportation - the government's default position for all migrants admitted at the border.

"Since Biden assumed office, 77% of asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the country."

A HUGE NUMBER!!!

Here's what those numbers look like on paper:

What's more, these closed cases are not always staying closed.

ICE officers who spoke with The Post flagged an increase in cases of migrants committing crimes after their asylum cases have been closed. This forces agents to restart removal proceedings, which typically take years.

'If the migrants, who ICE no longer controls or monitors, commit crimes after the dismissal, ICE will have to start all over and issue a new Notice to Appear in court and start the clock all over again,' an ICE official told The Post.

It seems like every day we're met with another example of incompetence from this administration.

Or is it by design?

Our immigration system isn't broken: It's working exactly as they want.
