White House Won’t Reveal Destinations Of 320,000 ‘Inadmissible’ Immigrants
Democratic leaders in deep-blue jurisdictions like New York City have long blamed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and other border-state Republicans of unjustly transporting undocumented migrants to their cities, but a new report reveals the undeniable role that the Biden administration has had in distributing hundreds of thousands of “inadmissible” migrants across communities nationwide.
The Center for Immigration Studies has compiled available data to paint a troubling picture of the Biden administration’s behavior, determining that, last year alone, at least 320,000 migrants in the country illegally arrived in nearly four dozen U.S. cities under the White House’s orders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, however, has not complied with a Freedom of Information Act request to reveal the airports where these migrants arrived.
“While large immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center — and apparently will not disclose — the names of the 43 U.S. airports that have received 320,000 inadmissible aliens from January through December 2023, nor the foreign airports from which they departed,” the report asserted.
Instead of acknowledging the sheer number of migrants allowed to disappear into U.S. cities through the controversial CBP One program, the agency claimed that being honest with the American people would somehow inhibit the Biden administration’s supposed efforts to secure the southern border.
Todd Bensman, who authored the CIS report, called the process of flying immigrants directly into U.S. cities from unknown points of origin “perhaps the most enigmatic and least-known of the Biden administration’s uses of the CBP One cellphone scheduling app, even though it is responsible for almost invisibly importing by air 320,000 aliens with no legal right to enter the United States since it got underway in late 2022.”
Immigrants granted access to these flights, Bensman explained, can expect to receive the benefit of “legally dubious parole programs” that provide release and work authorization for two years.
“Upon receiving authorization from Washington, they buy air passage to U.S. international airports where CBP personnel process them for release in short order,” he concluded. “All are said to be responsible for their own airfare.”
A separate immigration process facilitated through the CBP app accounted for an estimated 420,000 migrants entering the country between May 2021 and December 2023.
