The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday released an interim staff report on how the Biden-Harris administration "uses the nation's immigration courts to advance an open-borders agenda" through a massive backlog in the immigration courts and the dismissal of cases.
The committee wrote that since Biden took office, there have been more than 3.7 million new immigration court cases since the beginning of fiscal year 2021, which began in October of 2020. "The majority of those cases are based on claims that ultimately will prove unsuccessful," the report stated, noting that of the adjudicated cases in fiscal year 2023, just 14 percent of them resulted in an asylum grant. The remaining cases were "cases denied, abandoned, dismissed, terminated, withdrawn, or administratively closed."
"The Biden-Harris Administration has used the immigration court backlog as an excuse to allow even more aliens to remain in the country. Instead of actually adjudicating illegal aliens' cases based on the merits of aliens' claims for relief — such as whether an alien has a valid and successful asylum claim — immigration judges under the Biden-Harris Administration have been tasked with rubberstamping case dismissals, case closures, and case terminations, all of which allow illegal aliens to remain in the United States without immigration consequences."Through oversight conducted by the Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement since 2023, it has been revealed that the administration "has used administrative maneuvering in immigration court proceedings to allow nearly 1 million illegal aliens to remain in the US indefinitely."
To "mask" the increase in new cases created by the Biden-Harris admin's border crisis, the administration "has empowered ICE attorneys to pursue or agree to — and immigration judges to grant — mass dismissals, terminations, and closures of immigration cases."
A dismissal is "requested by ICE when the agency 'makes a determination that they're not going to proceed forward'" in a particular case, termination "ends an alien's immigration court removal proceedings," and administrative closure indefinitely "pauses an alien's removal proceedings by removing the case from an immigration judge's calendar." All three of these instances allow "aliens to remain in the US indefinitely," the report stated.
From the beginning of the administration through July 31, 2023, immigration judges administratively closed 71,465 cases. Immigration judges also dismissed 459,356 cases and terminated 172,645 cases through June 30, 2024.
"The pace of case dismissals, terminations, and closures increased every year under the Biden-Harris Administration," with just over 5,000 cases being administratively closed from Biden's inauguration through the end of fiscal year 2021, 35,775 cases being closed in fiscal year 2022, and 30,476 cases being closed in the first 10 months of fiscal year 2023. Similar skyrocketing numbers were seen for terminations and case dismissals.the report stated.
"Without adjudicating cases and ordering aliens removed from the United States, immigration judges' mass granting of dismissals, terminations, and closures ensures that aliens can remain in the US indefinitely. Even worse, the majority of the aliens in those cases likely never would have been able to establish any legal basis to remain in the country,"
"Instead of adjudicating these cases, denying invalid asylum claims, and ordering aliens removed from the United States, the Biden-Harris Administration has directed its immigration judges to simply not adjudicate them," the report later added.

There is even the problem with the cost to do it in some cases. Did you know there are 100,000 illegal Chinese immigrants in the US? How much do you think it will cost to deport them? $162 million just for the flight there. But then you have China who won't accept but a couple of hundred per year back into the country. Meaning Trump can't do a damn thing that's going to make any difference.
Don't believe me, watch the Joe Rogan Trump interview and you will see how he talks about using these sanctions/tariffs to force countries into compliance.
Sanctions or tariffs only hurt one group-the US CONSUMER.
You do know politicians just say BULLSHIT in order to get support and to win a popularity contest right? They aren't signing contracts that are obligating them to do anything they say.
A little late in the response & a system that is clearly corrupt & ineffective that place its existing natural citizens in harms way.
Especially by not vetting immigrants properly & allowing radical terrorist elements into the country to cause violence/derision/chaos etc.
The below is not directed to you as your too switched on.
But I feel like this is like watching a Bouncing Ball tutorial in slow motion explaining the Hegelian dialectic @ it’s most rudimentary, basal, elementary levels.
Again illustrating that the GubMINT is the disease mask-queer-aid-ing as the cure.
Cycle after cycle of smupid the scapeGOAT. 🐐🥕🐐🥕
Now you have the people in power. The ones who stole the election last time. Changed nothing. Still have dominion voting machines.
Also Trump sure did talk a lot about putting Hillary behind bars and alot of other things that just never came to fruition.
In other words, Trumps bark is bigger than his bite. Hell he will be remembered for rolling out the vax. And as the one who struck down soliemeni. The Iranian general.
I did see him divide the country more than it was before.
So idk. I'm thinking I'm not putting my faith into any human. Man or woman. Best way to avoid a letdown.
plus I think we are at a stage where it's going to take the whole collective to bring about change. Not a single person.
and I'd like to ask. If Trump is doing his Christian duty, why is he supporting a leader of a country who is genociding his neighbors? Some of them genocide have been Christians. Major Christian foundation right there. Not all Muslims.
Your facts are correct & true.
It’s two wings of the same Bird.
You are programmed via Mass Psychosis Hypnosis to ONLY think that way.
Imagine if the the whole political system was polemic in the sense that their were only two real sides.
Similar to the Black & White Checkerboard only it was Red & Blue.
Both sides controlled by one source known as the “4th Pillar.”
It’s the whole principled idea (ideation) premise behind a “Free Press”.
It’s exactly what JFK was talking about in speech about the importance of a UNBIASED “Free Press”.
We don’t have a Free Press. We have a Zionist Mass Media system as “Presstitutes“ run by 6 Zionist corporations written by Israhell Unit 8200 & Mossad agents.
Here’s an example of it. In fact the American Sculpter Herman MacNeil calls it the “4th Pillar”.
George Washington Statue

Ask your self why is George Washington’s right ankle/foot schakled ?
Who else used to schakle its slaves ?
Roman Empire never fell it went underground. As above so below…
