Those who viewed the victory speech of former President Trump after the Super Tuesday results last night will have heard him mention the Biden administration having flown into this country 320,000 illegal migrants last year.
That figure comes from a report published Monday by Todd Bensman on the Center for Immigration Studies website. Bensman obtained the data through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. He writes:
[T]the public now knows that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has approved secretive flights that last year alone ferried hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens from foreign airports into some 43 American ones over the past year, all pre-approved on a cell phone app.
He says the CBP, citing “the sensitivity of the information,” refuses to identify the 43 American cities where the migrants were dropped off or the flights’ countries of origin. As a result of the lawsuit, officials have expanded on that excuse, claiming that those hundreds of thousands of CBP-authorized arrivals have created “operational vulnerabilities” at airports that would permit “bad actors” to undermine the supposed law enforcement efforts to “secure the United States border.” Whatever that means.
The “cell phone app” referenced in the quote above is part of the administration’s “lawful pathways” strategy, which improves the admin’s optics by flying in illegals high above the border, out of view. It is available to citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Ecuador.
In the air or on the ground, the “newcomers” are just as illegal as the border-jumpers along the Rio Grande. And they will remain illegal despite being granted “humanitarian parole,” a vastly overused policy intended only for very specific individual situations, but offered wholesale by the Biden administration.
As for the 43 different airports receiving the illegals, while we are not told their names, it is clear that only about a dozen have received the lion’s share of the 320K. It’s a safe bet that NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles are among them. While Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas gets the blame, it’s really Joe Biden who’s packing those Democrat-run cities with illegal aliens.
The government insists that the migrants must pay their own airfare, but there is no way of verifying this and NGOs and religious groups with UN funding (ulitimately traceable to the US taxpayer) are known to be financially assisting the invasion here.
