Supposedly, Biden is finalizing an executive order which is supposed to Do Something at the border, but, really won’t. It’s an election year stunt. Meanwhile
Biden keeps rewarding illegal migrants for jumping the border
For all President Biden’s talk about trying to try to address the border crisis, The Post keeps discovering new ways he’s encouraging the tide of illegal migrants.
The latest:
The Post’s Jennie Taer reports that Biden’s team has quietly closed some 350,000 asylum cases over the last 2½ years — terminating the cases while neither granting asylum nor ordering deportation; the illegal migrant is free to move freely around the country as if he or she was never intercepted at the border.
Don Barnett of the Center for Immigration Studies found that Biden has created at least eight different programs that allow 3.3 million migrants, most of the illegal entrants, to get work permits, end-running the laws that supposedly require a half-year wait before even applying for the right to work legally — with another 1.4 million cases in the pipeline.
What does this look like?

It’s hard to say which is more outrageous: On one hand, he’s pretending to resolve dubious asylum claims while really just wiping them off the official record; on the other, he’s handing work permits to illegal migrants he shouldn’t even be letting in.
Per Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) data reviewed by The Post, the wipe-the-record-clean program is accelerating since ICE acting Deputy General Counsel Kerry Doyle ordered a new approach in 2022: Just 4,700 people saw their cases dismissed in 2020; then 102,550 in 2022 — more than 10 times the 2014 level.
It was 149,000 the next year and 2024 is set to pass that level when the fiscal year ends Sept. 30.
Dismissed cases, though technically still subject to deportation, get cut loose — no longer monitored by ICE or anyone.
If you reward border jumpers you are going to create more border jumpers. It’s just like all the thieving criminals in California: the state made it easy, they mostly refuse to prosecute them, and, heck, they often do not even bother catching them, as long as the theft is under $1,000. Those few who do go to court either get a slap on the wrist or the case is dismissed. That incentivizes people to continue stealing. If you allow people to come across the border, give them food, shelter, clothes, money, schooling, etc, then just let them go even though they are here illegally and do not qualify for asylum you’re telling more to just show up and declare asylum.
