'Backdoor Deal' Allows 'Illegal' Immigrants To Enter US Legally, Border Patrol Union Leader Says

 Illegal immigrants are coached to voluntarily withdraw their asylum claims, return to Mexico, and then come back to the United States on humanitarian grounds, according to a U.S. Border Patrol union leader.

Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San Diego, told The Epoch Times on May 26 that migrants who enter the United States illegally in Yuma, Arizona, are being bused to the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry in San Diego County.

Despite an anticipated rush of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to the border when Title 42 restrictions were lifted after three years at 11:59 p.m. on May 11, the Department of Homeland Security reported a sudden drop in the number of encounters along the southern border.

Bayon questions why illegal immigrants who surrendered to Border Patrol in Arizona have suddenly been rerouted to U.S. ports of entry in San Diego County.

Todd Bensman, a senior fellow on national security at the Center for Immigration Studies and author of "Overrun: How Joe Biden unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History," told The Epoch Times that according to his sources, immigration officials are persuading illegal immigrants to "Voluntarily withdraw" their asylum claims without getting a black mark on their records, return to Mexico, and then come back into the United States with humanitarian parole permits under the expanded CBP One app.

Bensman, who worked as a journalist for 23 years and covered the border and illegal immigration issues extensively before joining the CIS think tank, said the Biden administration has turned the Border Patrol into a "Welcoming committee" for illegal immigrants.

Just before Title 42 expired, as migrants amassed to rush the border and news reporters arrived at the border near the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the Biden administration dodged the national media spotlight by rapidly releasing thousands of illegal immigrants in the San Diego area alone.
