Biden Built ‘Predictable’ Loophole That Resulted In Flood Of Illegal “Family Units” Into US

A change made to US immigration coverage by the Biden administration led to a “predictable” rise within the variety of “family units” making an attempt to cross into the US border.

Based on a brand new report of preliminary Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) information, August was the very best month this 12 months for total migrant encounters – hitting 91,000. Policy specialists say that was ‘totally predictable’ because of a rule change which exempted ‘household models’ from being routinely denied asylum.

“Notwithstanding the administration’s claim that they are refusing to consider asylum claims from people encountered between ports of entry, the rule they adopted has huge loopholes. Among those explicitly exempted are family units,” stated Ira Mehlman, a spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in a Friday assertion to Just the News.

“So, guess what? We are seeing a surge in family units crossing the border illegally and it is not even clear if they really are family units. As we have seen in the past, there have been rent-a-kid schemes to help people take advantage of the laxer rules that apply to adults accompanied by children. The record number of family units encountered at the border was entirely predictable,” he added.

Since May, immigrants looking for asylum on the U.S. border have been capable of request appointments, as much as 1,450 per day, CPB says, with immigration officers utilizing the CBP One smartphone application.

“They still have to pay smugglers to get here and the whole thing is a boon for alien smugglers,” stated Krikorian. “It’s supposed to only be for people who have made it to Mexico already and even that’s bad enough, because you have to pay a smuggler to get there but the smugglers have figured it out. They’re actually using it.”

Krikorian additionally says that the rise in household models was predictable because of present DHS coverage.

“I don’t know what the administration thought was going to happen,” he continued.

Hilariously, the White House is now claiming that President Joe Biden has “done more” to safe the border “than anybody else.”

Secure it for who, precisely?

According to the CBP, a household is outlined as “group of two or more aliens consisting of a minor or minors accompanied by his/her/their adult parent(s) or legal guardian(s).”

Last Thursday, the Washington Post reported that the variety of household models looking for entry into the US hit a file excessive in August.

The Post reviews that the US Border Patrol “arrested at least 91,000 immigrants who crossed as part of a family group in August, exceeding the prior one-month record of 84,486 set in May 2019.”
