Efforts by open-border Democrats to attribute the mounting migrant crisis in big cities to Texas and its program of busing illegal immigrants north are being overshadowed by a new investigation revealing that President Joe Biden has clandestinely flown hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 U.S. cities.<\/p>\n
The secretive program, concealed from public knowledge, involved a minimum of 320,000 illegal immigrants, acknowledged by the administration as \u201cinadmissible\u201d immigrants, a significantly higher number<\/a> than previously disclosed.<\/p>\n Despite facing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit<\/a> from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has declined to disclose the 43 airports where immigrants are being unloaded after direct flights from Latin America.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile large immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center \u2014 and apparently will not disclose \u2014 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,\u201d a CIS report shared with Secrets said.<\/p>\n The investigation highlights the administration\u2019s assertion that it is keeping the cities confidential due to concerns that \u201cbad actors\u201d might \u201cundermine law enforcement efforts to \u2018secure the United States border\u2019 if they knew the volume of CBP One traffic processed at each port of entry,\u201d the center said, citing an email it received.<\/p>\n The program in question is Biden\u2019s initiative allowing illegal immigrants to utilize an app to gain access to the U.S. without traversing Mexico.<\/p>\n \u201cThe program at the center of the FOIA litigation is perhaps the most enigmatic and least-known of the Biden administration\u2019s 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,\u201d said Todd Bensman<\/a>, the report\u2019s author.<\/p>\n \u201cUnder these legally dubious parole programs, aliens who cannot legally enter the country use the CBP One app to apply for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports. The parole program allows for two-year periods of legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cUpon receiving authorization from Washington, they buy air passage to U.S. international airports where CBP personnel process them for release in short order. All are said to be responsible for paying for their own airfare,\u201d Bensman explained. That can be thousands of dollars less and less dangerous than traveling through Mexico to the California, Arizona, or Texas border.<\/p>\n The direct flight program is in addition to another one that gives CBP One users a green light into the U.S. That program, the report said, \u201chas brought in another 420,000 immigrants from nearly 100 nations from May 2021 through December 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
