Will Dems Buy Up Secretary of States and Rig Elections Again?
5 comments
Buying up Secretary of State elections was a big part of the secret sauce for the Dem 2020 strategy. Control election rules and you're in a prime position to rig elections. And, inspired by Soros, the Dems did it pretty cheaply.
“We should be prepared for this to be closer to an election week, as opposed to an Election Day, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson warned.
Benson, a veteran of the Southern Poverty Law Center and assorted structural initiatives to benefit Democrat voter strategies nationwide, was backed by a river of cash, with her own fundraising topping $1 million, and iVote throwing in nearly another million.
Republicans were outspent 2 to 1 and Michigan got an ‘Election Week’.
Benson took control in Michigan, while in Arizona, a state where the Republican candidate was expected to win, Katie Hobbs, another radical leftist, won in a close election in 2018.
In Colorado, another Republican favored to win in a state where the secretary of state was usually a GOPer, was cut off at the knees by another leftist backed by a ton of outside cash.
While Republicans wasted money, iVote spent $6 million to rig the battleground in key states.
Last I heard they were planning to spend $7 million this time around.
A left-leaning group plans to spend $7 million to help elect Democratic secretaries of state and attorneys general in key battlegrounds -- a big investment in down-ballot races that loom large in voting rights battles around the country.
A lot of money is going into key races. Especially in Michigan.
The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State raised $202,000 in the first six months of 2019, the report said — the first time the national group ever had cleared six figures in the first half of an odd-numbered year.
Then the group cleared $1 million in the first half of 2021.
In Michigan, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, had nearly quintupled her 2018 cycle draw as of last October, coming in at $1.2 million.
It's a lot easier and cheaper to steal an election than it is to unsteal it.The question is whether Republicans are going to be on the ball this time around.
NANCY PELOSI GOT RICH OFF ELECTED OFFICE AND SERVICING THE “CHEAP” LABOR LOBBIES - Jim Gilchrist asked the question about Nancy Pelosi’s ethics that should be on the minds of every law-abiding American – including those immigrants who are following the law to become citizens here the proper way: “Do we really need a House Speaker whose every action is calculated to enhance her own financial interests, instead of focusing on how porous borders will affect the security of everyday American citizens?”
Smugglers in Texas Pack Migrants in Tanker Truck near Border
Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents continue to find migrants being transported by human smugglers in dangerous situations. In one incident, agents found six inside a tanker truck.
Laredo Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Carl E. Landrum tweeted images of a tanker truck with a group of migrants hiding inside. Laredo Police Department officers called the Laredo South Station Border Patrol agents on January 8 to assist after a traffic stop.
Once on scene, the agents found a group of six migrants hiding inside the tank of the truck, Landrum reported.
Elsewhere in the sector, Cotulla Station Border Patrol agents attempted to stop a white Ford pickup truck, Chief Landrum noted in another tweet. The driver of the truck refused to stop and drove off the road and crashed through two ranch fences near Dilly, Texas.
After processing the scene, the agents learned the truck had been reported stolen out of Pearland, Texas.
Laredo North Station agents also found migrants being transported in dangerous conditions. Chief Landrum tweeted images of a sedan that appeared to be smuggling migrants.
The images show the vehicle with flattened tires and the apprehension of four migrants illegally present in the United States. Some of the migrants were found locked inside the trunk of the sedan.

Michelle Malkin: Open Borders = Election Sabotage
By Michelle Malkin | January 12, 2022 | 12:19pm EST
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to wreck America's election integrity."
Yes, my friends, it's time to change the (in)famous phrase at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Open borders are not just a recipe for replacing native-born workers with cheap foreign labor and trading assimilation for multicultural militancy. They're about undermining the historic nation through devalued citizenship and sabotage of the precious right to vote.
Over the weekend, New York City's Democrat mayor Eric Adams threw his support to a City Council-approved measure to allow an estimated 800,000 local noncitizens to participate in local elections. The newly minted voters would include green-card holders, temporary visa holders, including H-1B workers mostly from China and India, F-1/Optional Practical Training foreign university students with employment authorization, and potentially unknown masses of illegal alien so-called Dreamers.
These new voters will be granted enormous influence over vital local matters pertaining to everything from education to taxes to crime and only need to show they've been in the city for a measly 30 days. It doesn't matter that these noncitizens will largely have no attachment at all to America as their permanent home but instead see it as a temporary rest stop, a cash cow, or, at worst, hostile territory.
Adams proclaimed in a statement that while he had "some concerns" about the bill, he now believes "allowing the legislation to be enacted is by far the best choice, and look forward to bringing millions more into the democratic process."
"Democratic process," of course, is a euphemism for "Democrat Party."
The demographic overwhelming of our elections through both illegal alien amnesty and unfettered legal immigration is straight out of the left-wing playbook. What's happening in the Big Apple is not new, nor is it a "conspiracy theory." As I've long reported since my early days in newspaper journalism in Southern California, there's been a steady erosion of voter integrity at the hands of open-borders politicians and operatives for decades.
Since 1991, six municipalities in Montgomery County, Md. have allowed noncitizens (with no distinction between legal and illegal aliens) to cast ballots in local elections: Garrett Park, Takoma Park, Somerset, Chevy Chase, Martin's Additions, and Barnesville. An additional five Maryland municipalities, two Vermont towns, two U.S. territories, and San Francisco (school board elections only, for now) have also opened their voting booths to noncitizens.
And don't forget: In 1993, the federal "Motor Voter" law "expanded the franchise" for political expediency — exacerbating the perilous trend of lowering the safeguards for voting that continues to undermine the value of U.S. citizenship today. The nationwide granting of driver's licenses to illegal aliens paved the way for untold election theft.
Former Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner Alan C. Nelson's warning nearly 30 years ago when Takoma Park passed its noncitizen voting referendum remains more trenchant than ever:
"In many countries of the world, an alien is always an alien. In our country, we are proud that our laws and social policies encourage aliens of all races and cultures to become citizens. In recent years, however, an increasing number of aliens have not pursued citizenship....This trend is disturbing, because it could seriously affect the assimilation process immigrants have pursued in this nation for 200 years....This important value of becoming a citizen is lost if an alien can vote without becoming a citizen. Any legal resident alien can become a U.S. citizen in five years. That is not an unreasonable time to wait to be able to participate in our democracy....The five-year wait emphasizes the value of citizenship as a requirement to vote and to becoming a full member of the community....If local voting by noncitizens is allowed, state and federal voting could be next. Either there is a policy basis for noncitizens to vote, or there is not. If we open the door, it cannot be closed halfway."
It should be as glaring as Lady Liberty's torchlight that election reform begins with a complete, total, and immediate immigration moratorium.

Ted Cruz, Conservatives to Hold West Virginia Rally Against H.R. 1, the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act’
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and conservative activists will hold a rally at the West Virginia state capitol Saturday against the “Corrupt Politicians Act.”
The Council for National Policy Act will host a rally at the Charleston, West Virginia state capitol at 1:00 P.M. Eastern.
The rally will feature conservative leaders to rally against H.R. 1/S.1, the For the People Act, which the leaders refer to as the “Corrupt Politicians Act.” The legislation already passed the House. The rally will feature:
· Sen. Ted Cruz;
· Eric Berger, co-founder of FreeRoots;
· Jake Hoffman, president and CEO of Rally Forge;
· Ken Blackwell, board member of CNP Action and former Ohio secretary of state;
· Kelly Shackelford, chairman of CNP Action, and president and CEO of First Liberty Institute;
· Mike Thompson, senior vice president of CRC Advisors.
The rally precedes a hearing on the bill held by the Senate Rules Committee on March 24.
The rally would presumably work to lobby Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), a moderate Democrat and swing vote in the 50-50 split Senate.
Manchin’s support or opposition to the Corrupt Politicians Act could help pass or tank the legislation as it works its way through the Senate.
The Corrupt Politicians Act is 791-pages long and would enact a massive transformation of America’s electoral system.
The legislation would:
· Federalize control over congressional elections;
· Declare that standard state and local maintenance of elections systems, such as purging ineligible voters from voter rolls, limiting vote-by-mail, requiring voter ID, and establishing rules against felons voting, would erode the right to vote;
· Restrict lawsuits against the rules in H.R. 1 to the federal court system, which is, coincidentally, favorable to Democrats;
· Establish online and automatic voter registration;
· Protect illegal immigrants from prosecution if they vote;
· Establish same-day voter registration;
· Register minors to vote;
· Mandate early voting;
· Establish nationwide vote-by-mail without a voter ID; and
· Allow ballots to be counted ten days after Election Day.
Sen. Cruz said this week the Corrupt Politicians Act is the most “dangerous piece of legislation before Congress.” He explained:
It is the single most dangerous piece of legislation before Congress. What I call H.R.1 is the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act.’ […] It’s the number one bill. It’s not about COVID; it’s not about vaccinations; it’s not about getting people back to work; it’s not about getting kids back to school. It is about ensuring that Democrats remain in power and control for the next 100 years. It is a radical bill. What does it do? It federalizes all elections. It strikes down every election reform protection at the state level. So photo ID laws — right now in a lot of states you’ve got to use photo ID to vote — ‘The Corrupt Politician Act’ strikes that down. It sets up automatic voter registration, which would result in millions of illegal immigrants, and criminals, and felons being able to vote. The Democrats believe if illegal immigrants and felons are voting, that benefits the Democrats and keeps them in power. Not only that, it mandates universal mail-in balloting, it mandates ballot harvesting. This is all designed to facilitate fraud.

“Placed on the illegal-alien-to-illegal-voter conveyor belt” works better.
Illegals for Biden
Never was the saying that Democrats import the electorate they prefer more obviously true than in recent days as Biden campaign flag-waving future Democrat voters overwhelmed the nation’s southern border at the invitation of the Biden-Harris regime.
Having ceded whites and blue-collar voters to Republicans, Democrats and their placeholder president who can barely climb the stairs to Air Force One, are mobilizing armies of illegal aliens from Latin America. They do this as a failsafe in case their signature legislation, H.R. 1, the proposed “For the People Act,” which would gut the First Amendment and turn America into a one-party state, fails to become law.
The people crashing the border and setting up camps near it make no effort to conceal their enthusiasm for the Democrats who want to do away with the U.S. border altogether. They want the massive amnesty Joe Biden promised them.
A man who crossed the border from Mexico at Tucson, Arizona, told ABC’s Martha Raddatz that he “basically” did so because Biden is now president.
“Would you have tried to do this when Donald Trump was president?” Raddatz asked the man.
“Definitely not,” the man replied.
Breitbart News published photos of “Biden for President 2020” flags displayed at a migrant tent city close to the border in Tijuana, Mexico, as the future Democrat voters await U.S. immigration processing. No doubt many of them will head for Democrat-controlled so-called sanctuary cities.
Under Biden-Harris, no one new is being enrolled in the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” program that required non-Mexican asylum-seekers appearing at the southern border to wait in Mexico for their claims to be adjudicated. The program, part of the Migrant Protection Protocols enforced by Trump, discouraged individuals from making fraudulent asylum claims.
These Migrant Protection Protocols, which were approved by Congress and signed into law during the Clinton administration, had not been used until then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced in December 2018 that they would be implemented. The goal, she said at the time, was to curtail the so-called catch-and-release system, in which individuals made fraudulent asylum claims knowing they would be allowed into the United States and would be able to stay for years before their court appearance.
“Aliens trying to game the system to get into our country illegally will no longer be able to disappear into the United States, where many skip their court dates. Instead, they will wait for an immigration court decision while they are in Mexico,” Nielsen said at the time.
Under Biden, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a memorandum providing that, effective January 21, it “will suspend new enrollments in the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), pending further review of the program. Aliens who aren’t already enrolled in MPP should be processed under other existing legal authorities.”
On February 2, Biden signed three new executive orders aimed at undoing Trump-era immigration policies. One of the documents, Biden said during a ceremony at the White House, “orders a full review of the previous administration’s harmful and counterproductive immigration policies, basically across the board.”
The Biden junta has done everything but roll out the red carpet for uninvited foreigners who now get VIP treatment, being placed in motels to await processing while the National Guard needlessly stationed around the United States Capitol complex are fed sickening food and given lousy accommodations.
“The Biden administration isn’t addressing a crisis, they’re exacerbating it,” said RJ Hauman, government relations director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), according to Fox News.
“This is yet another message that will be heard loud and clear by human smugglers and everyone in Central America — keep coming to our southern border, things will run smoothly once you get here.”
Hours after being installed as president, Biden signed Presidential Proclamation 10142, in which he declared that “building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution,” describing the project as “a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security.”
The document revoked Trump’s Presidential Proclamation 9844 of Feb. 15, 2019, that declared a national emergency concerning the Southern border and invoked the National Emergencies Act. Trump ordered $2.5 billion in military drug interdiction funds redirected to the wall construction project on the southern border.
And those cages near the border for kids installed by the Obama-Biden administration but dishonestly blamed on the Trump-Pence administration are back again under the Biden-Harris junta.
Biden-Harris has implemented a “catch and release” program under which border crossers are ushered into the country on an expedited basis. Officials don’t bother issuing these individuals with the standard Notice to Appear requiring them to make a court appearance.
At the same time, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress last week his department has released border crossers into the interior without bothering to test them for the COVID-19 virus.
Mayorkas, by the way, denies there is a crisis at the border. He prefers to call it a “challenge,” while disingenuously blaming everything that is going wrong on former President Trump.
“It is taking time and it is difficult because the entire system was dismantled by the prior administration,” Mayorkas said on CNN as he invented facts out of thin air. “There was a system in place that was torn down by the Trump administration.”
Meanwhile, immigration officials caught almost 100,000 border crossers in February, up 170 percent over February 2020. More than 118,000 illegal aliens have crossed the border undetected since October 2020, Breitbart News reported.
On second thought, maybe “caught” is the wrong word here.
Yes, it is definitely the wrong word.

Photo ID Required to Enter Businesses - But, Not to Vote - Due to DC Mayor Bowser’s New Mandate
By Craig Bannister | January 12, 2022 | 12:58pm EST
Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s new COVID mandate requires people to show photo proof of identification in order to enter businesses – but, the Nation’s Capital does not require photo identification to vote, except in rare cases.
“Somehow, the Left wants you to believe it is racist to ask for photo identification to vote, but not discriminatory to ask for photo ID in order to enter restaurants, bars, movie theaters, or gyms in the name of COVID-19 safety,” The Daily Wire reports:
“On Saturday [Jan. 15, 2022], Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser’s vaccine mandate is set to go into effect in Washington, requiring nearly every business and entertainment venue located in the nation’s capital to verify that patrons are vaccinated against COVID-19 with at least one shot. As part of that mandate for patrons over the age of 18, customers will have to show photo ID as proof their name matches the vaccination card they present for entry. Despite that, the District does not require photo identification for most voters with two exceptions.”
“Before patrons can access the indoor portion of the business, a business is required to check the patron’s proof of vaccination,” the D.C. government website detailing the mandate explains.
“Remember that starting Saturday you will need these three things before heading out: 1. Proof of vaccination (12 years +), 2. Proof of vaccination and Photo ID (18 years +), 3. Mask,” Mayor Bowser tweeted Tuesday.
The following types of businesses will be required to check vaccination status:
• Indoor food and drink establishments, such as:
o Restaurants
o Nightclubs
o Taverns
o Food halls/courts
o Breweries, wineries, and distillery tasting rooms
o Seated dining halls, restaurants, and cafes in museums, libraries, hotels, and other
public venues
• Indoor cultural and entertainment establishments, such as:
o Concert, live entertainment venues
o Sporting venues
o Movie theaters
o Pool and billiard halls
o Bowling alleys
o Cigar bars
o Hookah bars
o Adult entertainment venues
• Indoor exercise and recreational facilities, such as:
o Gyms
o Fitness Studios
• Indoor event and meeting establishments, such as:
o Hotel meeting rooms
o Banquet halls
o Conference center meeting facilities
o Event/banquet halls in museums and libraries
o Convention centers
o Auditoriums
o Shared work facilities when hosting events
• Any other indoor establishment designated by the Director of the DC Department of
Health
“In the past Democratic Party leaders and others in the media have suggested that requiring ID to vote is tantamount to enacting ‘New Jim Crow’ laws because they argue black Americans are less likely to have voter ID than their white counterparts,” The Daily Wire notes, citing comments by President Joe Biden and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Last August, CNSNews.com reported that 81% of all voters nationally, including 77% of Black voters, support laws requiring voters to provide a photo I.D.
People entering the establishment to use the bathroom room or pick up a to-go item are exempt from the proof of vaccination/identification mandate, as long as they were “a well-fitted face covering.”
Voter ID Requirements Make Sense
By Terence P. Jeffrey | January 12, 2022 | 4:15am EST
A young man who looks like a teenager walks into a liquor store and pulls a bottle of cheap whiskey off a shelf.
He puts it down at the checkout counter and pulls out his wallet.
The clerk at the counter looks at him skeptically. "Can I see your ID?" he asks.
"Yes," says the young man, who instantly takes his driver's license out of his wallet and hands it to the clerk.
The driver's license indicates to the clerk that the customer in front of him had turned 21 two months ago. He sells him the cheap whiskey.
Then another young man walks into the store. He grabs a bottle of very expensive champagne and puts it on the counter.
Once again, the clerk asks the young man if he has an ID.
"No," says the young man.
"Then I can't sell you this champagne," says the clerk.
"You have got to be kidding me," says the young man. "I am 22 years old."
"Then prove it," says the clerk.
"I left my driver's license at home," says the young man.
"Then go get it," says the clerk.
"No, I'll go buy my champagne somewhere else," says the young man, who leaves the store in disgust.
This second hypothetical young man, however, was only 19, which made him old enough to vote but not old enough to buy champagne.
If it were up to the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, neither of these young men — or anyone else — would need to show an ID to vote.
Last March, 220 of the 221 Democrats in the House — but not one Republican — voted to pass the "For the People Act."
The introduction to the bill claimed it had the following purpose: "To expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes."
"Congress also finds that States and localities have eroded access to the right to vote through restrictions on the right to vote including excessively onerous voter identification requirements," said the bill.
One section of the bill carried this title: "Permitting use of sworn written statement to meet identification requirements for voting."
"Except as provided in subsection (c)," it says, "if a State has in effect a requirement that an individual present identification as a condition of receiving and casting a ballot in an election for Federal office, the State shall permit the individual to meet the requirement — (A) in the case of an individual who desires to vote in person, by presenting the appropriate State or local election official with a sworn written statement, signed by the individual under penalty of perjury, attesting to the individual's identity and attesting that the individual is eligible to vote in the election; or (B) in the case of an individual who desires to vote by mail, by submitting with the ballot the statement described in subparagraph (A)."
"The Commission," the bill said, "shall develop a pre-printed version of the statement described in paragraph (1)(A) which includes a blank space for an individual to provide a name and signature for use by election officials in States which are subject to paragraph (1)."
So, if this bill were to become law, a person could simply sign a pre-printed government form and drop a ballot in a mailbox without presenting anyone with an identification.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) has offered a slightly stricter bill in the Senate. It is called the "Freedom to Vote Act."
One part of this bill is headlined: "Voter Identification and Allowable Alternatives." It says in part: "If a State or local jurisdiction has a voter identification requirement, the State or local jurisdiction — (A) shall treat any applicable identifying document as meeting such voter identification requirement."
"The term 'applicable identifying document' means, with respect to any individual, any document issued to such individual containing the individual's name," it says.
It then stipulates that this document can only have expired within the past four years. "The term 'applicable identifying documents,'" says the bill, "shall include any of the following (so long as that document has not expired or, if expired, expired no earlier than four years before the date of presentation)."
Some of the "applicable identifying documents" then listed in the bill are completely reasonable: "A driver's license or an identification card issued by a State, the Federal Government, or a State or federally recognized Tribal government."
Some are more dubious: "A bank card or debit card."
So, if this bill became law, a debit card that expired in 2021 would be a valid identification for someone voting in 2024.
It is not unreasonable in the 21st century to require people who want to vote to demonstrate that they are legally eligible to do so by presenting a valid form of identification.

Feds Admit ‘U Visa’ Program for Illegal Aliens Is Rife with Fraud, Forgery
A federal visa program, created for illegal aliens who claim to be crime victims, is filled with fraud and forgery, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Inspector General (IG) reveals.
The IG report reviewed the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) handling of the U visa program that was created to provide illegal aliens with a route to secure lawful permanent residence, a green card, to remain in the U.S.
As part of its findings, the IG report revealed that the U visa is rife with fraud and forgery where illegal aliens regularly secure visas despite being ineligible or their crime claims having not been fully vetted.
“Congress created the U visa program to protect victims and help law enforcement investigate and prosecute serious crimes,” the report states:
However, USCIS did not adequately manage the U visa program. First, USCIS did not fully address U visa program fraud risks. For example, we identified 10 USCIS approved petitions with forged, unauthorized, altered or suspicious law enforcement certifications. USCIS also did not track outcomes of U visa program fraud referrals. As a result, individuals may be discouraged from reporting suspected fraud and USCIS may miss opportunities to address fraud risks in the program. [Emphasis added]
…
USCIS did not fully address U visa program fraud risks. We asked 125 law enforcement offices to confirm whether the signature on Supplement B forms certified by their office, was that of an authorized signer. Law enforcement officials confirmed four certifications had forged signatures and three had unauthorized signatures. Federal regulations require a petitioner to submit a Supplement B form with an authorized signature certifying that, under penalty of perjury, the petitioner is a victim of a qualifying crime. [Emphasis added]
…
The issues identified occurred because USCIS has not taken steps to address and implement recommendations from previous internal and external U visa program reviews. [Emphasis added]
In one example, the IG report showed an instance where an illegal alien altered their U visa application to claim that they were the victim of a “felonious assault” which was not certified by a law enforcement official:
Department of Homeland Security Inspector General
Additionally, the IG report shows that USCIS officials have been violating federal law by issuing more U visas than legally allowed.
Every year, up to 10,000 illegal aliens can secure U visas. The IG report found that USCIS has been over-issuing U visas for at least two decades beyond the 10,000 cap.
“USCIS is prohibited from granting U visas to more than 10,000 principal petitions in a fiscal year … we found the reported number of U visas granted exceeded the statutory cap by different amounts from fiscal years 2010 to 2020,” the IG report reveals.
Department of Homeland Security Inspector General
Biden’s DHS Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, hugely opened a pipeline for illegal aliens simply applying for U visas, not those actually approved, by promising them work permits, welfare, Social Security Numbers, and deportation exemptions last year.
Former President Obama took similar actions, securing a side-door amnesty for about 140,000 illegal aliens who merely applied for U visas.
In 2019, a similar IG report showed that since October 2013 potentially 2,200 illegal aliens had posed as domestic abuse victims in order to secure visas to remain in the U.S. as part of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
For years, Breitbart News has chronicled fraud in the U visa program.
An illegal alien, in 2020, pleaded guilty to helping secure U visas for other illegal aliens who faked crimes like stabbings and assaults to pose as victims. Last year, an illegal alien was arrested for allegedly faking a kidnapping and rape scenario to pose as a crime victim and secure a U visa.

DHS: 6-in-7 Illegal Aliens Released into U.S. by Biden Are Evading Deportation
Most border crossers and illegal aliens freed into the United States interior by President Joe Biden’s administration are evading deportation, new government data reveals.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data comes after inquiries from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who has sought the total number of border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior in the first 12 months of Biden’s presidency.
DHS continues to hide the figure. The last estimate suggests that Biden released a total of 530,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior from January 20, 2021 to late October 2021.
The newest data disproves remarks made by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas wherein he claimed in a Senate hearing that “approximately 75 percent” of border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior with Notices to Appear (NTAs) in immigration court and Notices to Report (NTRs) to a DHS field office are complying with the reporting requirements.
Compliance with the reporting requirements is necessary to ensure that border crossers and illegal aliens are placed into deportation proceedings.
Contrary to Mayorkas’s claims, the DHS data reveals that in five months from March to August 2021, more than half of the border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior with NTRs have not complied with the requirements to report to the agency.
Of more than 104,000 released with NTRs during that time, less than 50,000 have checked in with DHS, while more than 54,000 have skipped out on the reporting requirement.
Even for border crossers and illegal aliens complying with the reporting requirement, Biden’s DHS has issued few NTAs to jumpstart deportation proceedings. For instance, only about 15.6 percent of border crossers and illegal aliens released with an NTR have later been given an NTA to appear before an immigration court to face deportation.
The other roughly 85 percent of border crossers and illegal aliens are successfully evading deportation from the U.S. by ditching the reporting requirements. The number of border crossers and illegal aliens evading deportation could be even higher as many could skip out on their immigration court date issued to them via the NTA.
In 2019, a federal pilot program that tracked the reporting rates of border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior showed similar failures with compliance.
At that time, the Justice Department data found that nearly 90 percent of border crossers and illegal aliens were skipping out on their court dates to instead live illegally in the U.S.
