Faced with an overwhelming backlog of immigration cases that it helped create, the Biden-Harris administration is giving a sort of “amnesty” to up to one million illegal migrants already in this country.
According to a report released today by the House Judiciary Committee, the administration has ordered immigration court judges to drop 700,000 such cases, allowing the illegal migrant to continue living in the US without fear of removal. In addition, the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has identified more than 109,000 cases that had been “completed but not adjudicated.” Those illegals can remain as well. And finally, the DHS failed to file the necessary documentation for 200,000 additional cases, allowing most of those migrants to stay also.
The House committee report says: “This sort of quiet amnesty has become a staple of the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration courts.”
These actions, according to the report, resulted from orders by DHS Secretary Mayorkas issued to the courts in 2021 to restore a process called “administrative closure,” ostensibly to allow the judges to “focus on higher-priority cases.” That process is, like so many of the administration’s policies, merely a rationale for avoiding enforcement of the law.
