While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it’s getting tough on the border, behind the scenes it’s operating a program of “mass amnesty” for migrants, The Post can reveal.
Data show that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country.
This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases are “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim” — they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities.
The move allows them to legally, indefinitely roam the US without fear of deportation, effectively letting them slip through the cracks.
In April, US authoriites in the southwest intercepted an average of 5,990 migrants per day, according to US Customs and Border Protection. That figure didn’t even include the so-called “gotaways” who escape detection and arrest.

Sorry, I know thats out of character for me, but you all may be rubbing off a little...
Since Biden assumed office, 77% of asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the country, according to TRAC. That equates to 499,000 of the 648,000 who applied for asylum in the US in that time.
The current backlog of asylum cases stands at 3.5 million, and shaving more than 100,000 people a year off it makes the administration look better, sources told The Post.
The migrants are under no obligation to leave the US, and once cases are dismissed, the person is no longer monitored by ICE and required to regularly check in with them, unlike those still pursuing asylum claims.
“If the case gets dismissed, you’re basically back to nothing,” Washington-based immigration lawyer Hector Quiroga told The Post, clarifying that migrants with dismissed cases can’t receive benefits or a work permit.
Mass Amnesty For 350,000 Illegal Immigrants
We’ll see what happens in Oklahoma, they passed a law that bans illegals from the state. Of course the DOJ is now suing them.😡 I’m all for legal immigration, we let in a million immigrants a year legally, I thinks that’s enough.

Mass Amnesty For 350,000 Illegal Immigrants
Future democrats. Biden has been working very hard to make sure ever red state turns blue with illegals becoming citizens.
Oklahoma House Bill 4156 says noncitizens commit an “impermissible occupation” when they enter the state without having permission to be in the U.S. and gives law enforcement authority to arrest and jail them. The Oklahoma law states that it will protect the health, safety, welfare and constitutional rights of the state's citizens and that immigrants in the U.S. illegally could pose potential harm to residents. A first conviction would be a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in county jail and a $500 fine. A second conviction would be a felony carrying a sentence of up to two years in county jail and a $1,000 fine. People convicted of either violation would have to leave Oklahoma within three days of being released from jail.
The Justice Department sued Oklahoma this week over a new immigration law that would fine and jail migrants who are in the state without legal documentation. The complaint, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, maintains the law violates the Constitution, which gives the federal government jurisdiction over immigration and border control. The department also says in the lawsuit that the Oklahoma law violates a clause in the Constitution that limits the power a state has to regulate the international movement of people. The law, which is scheduled to take effect July 1, is the latest move by a Republican-run state to try to take immigration matters into its own hands, arguing the Biden administration isn't doing enough to control the southern border.
