- Tens of thousands of migrants from countries including China and Venezuela could be exempt from the Biden administration’s ‘tough’ new border restrictions — because their home countries refuse to accept them back.
- Over 150,000 people from those two nations alone have illegally crossed into the US so far in 2024, and hundreds more arrive daily
- Despite new orders to stop processing asylum claims once migrant encounters hit 2,500 per day for seven consecutive days, instructions from the Department of Homeland Security to border agents provide exceptions.
- ‘Section 240 removal’ means “they’re released,” into the US, a Border Patrol source told The Post — explaining such migrants will be given a court date and allowed to pursue asylum, which typically take years to resolve
- “They [migrants who can’t be deported] are not included in that 2,500 number, the language was ambiguous for a reason.”
- It doesn’t appear that migrant crossings have been affected by Biden’s new executive order and border agents have expressed doubt that it will have any real impact on the continued crisis.
- “That’s like trying to plug the leak on the titanic with chewing gum. It’s way too little too late. He’s trying to act tough on the border but we know he’s been the most open border administration ever”
