The Biden administration seems hellbent on making the lives of Immigration officials a living hell. Biden Department of Homeland Security just announced that being illegal is not enough of a reason to deport someone. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas just complicated an already overwhelmed system by announcing new rules on how to handle illegals.
“The Biden Administration issued new guidelines Thursday to immigration officers that say that being an undocumented person should “not alone be the basis” of being deported.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement that the department will focus their resources on apprehending and removing undocumented immigrants who are a threat to the national security, public safety, and border security of the United States.
“We are guided by the knowledge that there are individuals in our country who have been here for generations and contributed to our country’s well-being, including those who have been on the frontline in the battle against COVID, lead congregations of faith, and teach our children,” Mayorkas said in a statement.
“As we strive to provide them with a path to status, we will not work in conflict by spending resources seeking to remove those who do not pose a threat and, in fact, make our Nation stronger.”
The guideline will go into effect on Nov. 29.
Mayorkas noted in the guidelines that undocumented immigrants who are apprehended at the border or at a port of entry trying to unlawfully enter the U.S. would be considered a threat to border security and could be deported under the new guidelines. The guidelines also note that an undocumented person apprehended in the U.S. after illegally entering the U.S. after Nov. 1, 2020, could be subject to deportation.”
FEDERAL LAW (8 USC 1182) says that aliens are ineligible for admission to the U.S. if they fail to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases.
FEDERAL LAW (8 USC 1324) also says that any person who recklessly disregards the fact that an alien has entered the U.S. in violation of the law, shall be fined under Title 18, imprisoned for up to five years, or both.
In short, the new rules give the illegals who crossed before November 1st, 2020, a free pass. So long as they don’t commit any MORE crimes. I guess, breaking immigration laws doesn’t count anymore.
