WHEN THE G.O.P. finally mustered the temerity to scold the brain-dead Biden regime over the mass invasion of completely unvetted aliens at the southern border, the regime pretended to be responsive by suggesting it might release classified materials about U.F.O.s, and one supposes, the aliens that piloted them. As usual, it was all a big hoax. As usual, the G.O.P. didn’t get it. But those few Republicans who really do care are alarmed by the regime’s propensity to let the free-range illegals get away with additional crimes. In fact, the regime wants to reward their illegal acts with citizenship by executive order, according to a recent report. It could affect one million or more criminal aliens. It’s galling. And appalling.
On April 16th, the House Judiciary Committee released an interim report entitled, “How the Biden Administration’s Lax Immigration Enforcement Allows Dangerous Criminal Aliens to Run Free in American Communities” (here), which describes how the Biden massive catch-and-release policy and failure to deport, including criminal aliens, is adversely affecting Americans. It’s an illuminating report, but unfortunately, there is no accompanying legislation to be passed. All the House could muster was a resolution, H. Res. 1112, denouncing the regime’s policy, here.
One drawback is the regime’s enforcement priorities, which can make it needlessly difficult for ICE agents to arrest criminal illegal aliens. ICE is given a list of ‘mitigating factors’ that must be considered before the aliens can be arrested and/or deported. These include: “An illegal alien’s age and length of presence in the United States; [A] mental condition that may have contributed to the criminal conduct, or a physical or mental condition requiring care or treatment;[I]mpact of removal on family in the United States, such as loss of provider or caregiver; [W]hether the [alien] may be eligible for humanitarian protection or other immigration relief; and”[T]ime since an offense and evidence of rehabilitation.” Training materials produced in the ‘Mayorkas Memo’ does nothing to elucidate the criteria, but instead, stresses a presumptive sympathy for them.
There are other problems, too, including, for example, the application of the unconstitutional ‘parole programs,’especially those aimed at Venezuelans, who are granted an unlimited period of time in the country even if they have a known criminal history. Regardless of the problems, the open borders, incentives from the regime, and a general disregard for national security and public safety have only exacerbated them.
Even the regime can grok that all these multiple millions of new aliens cannot receive welfare forever, so work permits will necessarily be issued to them. This has long-term illegals incensed. They are working openly but illegally, some supporting their ‘anchor babies,’ and believe, with some basis, they should be prioritized, not the so-called ‘newcomers.’ Dems have urged this. It seems the Biden regime thought that would play well with the massive existing immigrant community, but it seems there is some sense of propriety among criminals regardless of nationality. This sh!t isn’t playing too well with blacks or poor Americans, either…
