You know when you go to an airport, you go through the security checkpoint and enter a totalitarian world where you can be stopped by government officials at any time and be forced to show that your “papers are in order”? That’s the “price of freedom” you’re told, which seems odd but whatever. . . .
Well, it turns out it’s only citizens who have to pay that price. Foreigners here illegally get a pass. No papers required. That’s what we’ve learned this week from a report by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General.
Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari says in the report that while by law “noncitizens without ID are not admissible into the country,” nevertheless CBP, ICE, and TSA are in many cases ignoring that law. They are permitting noncitizens who have been detained after sneaking into our country and then released to fly without identification merely by signing a form declaring that they’re not a security threat.
The IG says he asked those agencies how many noncitizens had been permitted to fly without papers in the past few years, but they replied that they don’t keep that data. (Funny. They keep data on everything.) He concludes the report by saying:
If CBP and ICE continue to allow noncitizens – whose identities immigration officers cannot confirm – to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks.
Not so, the alphabet agencies responded. The IG’s report is out of date, they said. They maybe used to do that but that was last year. Now everything’s shipshape and secure. Nothing to see here. Keep moving, citizen, and keep those papers close at hand. As for you invaders, step aboard and welcome to your new country.
That’s life in Biden-Harris-world.
