Report: Biden Admin. Losing Track of 99% of Millions of Illegal Immigrants, Border Crisis Worse than Ever
On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Tom McClintock of the Immigration Subcommittee (R-CA) released a report highlighting the disclosure that 99% of illegal immigrants in America are not being tracked and the government has lost contact with them.
The report highlights that between January 20, 2021, and March 31, 2023, there were over 5 million illegal alien “encounters.” Of these encounters, at least 2,464,424 had no confirmed departure from the United States. During the same period, DHS released at least 2,148,738 illegal aliens into the United States.
Only 5,993 illegal aliens encountered at the southwest border and placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge were actually removed from the United States during this time. A mere six percent of illegal aliens released into the United States were even screened for ‘fear of persecution’ for purposes of asylum.
As of March 2023, DHS had removed only 874 of the illegal aliens found to have a credible fear of persecution and whose claims were adjudicated on the merits and denied by an immigration judge. An additional 205,473 aliens were released into the country through illegal categorical parole programs.
