Transparency and Court-Ordered Disclosures
- The Biden administration has a serious transparency problem, at least as it relates to immigration.
- Even White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is kept in the dark about what is transpiring at the Southwest border.
- What light has been cast on the deleterious effects of Biden's immigration policies has come from court-ordered disclosures.
Title 42 and CDC v. Louisiana
- In late March 2020, CDC issued its first order pursuant to Title 42 of the U.S. Code directing DHS to expel illegal entrants and aliens seeking admission without proper documents at land borders
- Those orders have subsequently been expanded, contracted, narrowed, and refined, but in the spring, the Biden administration announced that it would be terminating "Title 42" on May 23
The problem is that President Biden quickly ditched the border policies the Trump administration had implemented to successfully bring a modicum of control to the Southwest border
- This is why Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 3.191 million illegal entrants between February 2021 (Biden's first full month in office) and the end of August.
Biden will be lucky if we don't end up with 2.5 million apprehensions at the Southwest border this fiscal year
- If that doesn't occur it will be largely thanks to Judge Robert R. Summerhays of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
Title 42 is the only policy currently deterring aliens from entering the United States illegally and remaining here forever
- DHS estimates that once the threat of expulsion under Title 42 ends, up to 18,000 aliens will pour over the Southwest border illegally per day - more than three times as many as Border Patrol apprehended there on a daily average in August, at a rate of 540,000 per month, or six million annually
Monthly Reports by Nationality
- In July, Border Patrol reported processing single-adult migrants from 100 different countries, as well as one catchall "stateless" category.
- Most of the apprehensions are unremarkable
- El Salvador
- Honduras
- Venezuela
- Guatemala
- The Horn of Africa was represented as well, with 165 Somalis, 99 Eritreans, and 38 Ethiopians.
A Global Entry Crisis at the Southwest Border Driven by Bad Policy Decisions
- Migrants came from all over Asia.
- The subcontinent (1,093 Indian nationals as well as 130 Bangladeshis, 32 Pakistanis, and 19 Sri Lankans, none expelled under Title 42)
- People's Republic of China accounted for 270, each processed under the INA, but curiously the one from Macau was expelled
- Most came from Southeast Asia, too (25 Vietnamese nationals, one Thai, and one Cambodian).
- Lots of nationals of former Soviet Republics, too: Armenia (10), Azerbaijan (25), Belarus (17), Georgia (744), Kazakhstan (nine), Kyrgyzstan (25); Moldova (four), Tajikistan (eight)
