Biden has released 5.3 million illegal immigrants into US – Washington Examiner
EXCLUSIVE The Biden administration has admitted well over 5 million immigrants into the United States, and another nearly 2 million immigrants have been observed sneaking into the country, according to a congressional report obtained first by the Washington Examiner.
Since January 2021, President Joe Biden has allowed 5.3 million immigrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as immigrants who applied from abroad to be admitted through parole programs, to remain in the country, according to an interim staff report prepared by the House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.
Far from imposing consequences on illegal aliens and removing them from the country, the Biden Administration encourages illegal aliens to arrive at the border, chauffeurs them into the interior, and then rewards them with concierge services, all on the taxpayers dime and at the expense of public safety, states the Chauffeur at the border, concierge in the interior: How the Biden administration rewards illegal aliens on the taxpayers dime report slated to be released later Wednesday.
In addition to the 5.3 million admissions, an additional 1.9 million illegal immigrants have been observed by the U.S. Border Patrol entering the country, but agents were not able to intercept and arrest them. The identities and whereabouts of these known 1.9 million immigrants remain unknown.
The Biden administration does not publicly disclose the number of illegal immigrants that it has released into the country. Previous numbers have been discovered through court filings and congressional disclosures. The last estimate stood at more than 3 million.
The Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee spoke with federal authorities at the Department of Homeland Security about how the Biden administration has handled illegal immigration, given Bidens campaign promise to end the use of for-profit detention centers.
Funding for government-run immigration jails nationwide has declined under Biden, resulting in the release of the large majority of illegal immigrants admitted from the border.
Investigators concluded that programs meant to track illegal immigrants whom the federal government allowed to remain in the United States for years pending immigration court proceedings often focused on connecting immigrants with free social services and programs available to them and were unable to determine how well they were tracking people in the country.
Since the beginning of the Biden Administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has focused on expanding Alternatives to Detention to purportedly monitor non-detained illegal aliens in the United States, the report stated.
Although ICE bills ATD as exist[ing] to ensure compliance with release conditions and provid[ing] important case management services, ATD, which can include technology like GPS devices, repeatedly fails to adequately monitor illegal aliens, the report continued. Instead, ATD in the Biden Administration serves as a taxpayer-provided windfall for illegal aliens to receive social services once they are inside the United States.
One such program, the Case Management Pilot Program, received $15 million in taxpayer money this year to provide illegal immigrants with mental health services, cultural orientation programs, connections to social services, and other things that the committee dubbed made it a personal concierge.
The committee noted that in several high-profile cases this year, ATD has failed to track those it has admitted into the country.
Diego Ibarra, the brother of Laken Rileys alleged murderer, Jose Ibarra, was enrolled in ATD even after he allegedly assault[ed] and attempt[ed] to bite a [Border Patrol] agent who tried to arrest him. Ibarra, who allegedly has gang ties, removed his ATD ankle monitor in Colorado, the report stated. Finally, last month, authorities arrested two Venezuelan nationals for allegedly murdering a 12-year-old Houston girl. The illegal aliens entered the United States in March 2024 and May 2024, respectively, with one of the illegal aliens wearing an ICE ATD ankle monitor when he allegedly committed the murder.
Although all previous White House administrations have admitted illegal immigrants due to a lack of detention space or the ability to fly people back to their home countries, the number under Biden is more than multiple administrations combined. Under Biden, nearly 10 million migrants have been encountered attempting to enter the country at the nations borders.
That figure includes hundreds of thousands ineligible for legal immigration avenues who used Biden-era programs to circumvent traveling to and across the southern border and fly into the country instead.
The DHS has maintained that it is committed to public safety and pointed to its recent action to increase removals of illegal immigrants at the border as an example of that.

Data released last week by the DHS revealed that since Biden took executive action on June 4 to stop migrants from seeking asylum at the southern border, illegal immigrant arrests have dropped 40%.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

With amnesty order, Biden is making illegal immigration legal – The Highland County Press
By U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn R-Tennessee
550,000. That is the estimated number of illegal aliens who will receive amnesty under President Bidens latest executive action, which will make many of the migrants eligible for green cards, work permits and a pathway to U.S. citizenship.
According to President Biden, this decision is common sense. But to millions of Tennesseans and Americans, it is just the latest example of how the President is working to undermine the rule of law, devalue U.S. citizenship, and make illegal immigration legal.
In just his first 100 days in office, President Biden issued 94 executive orders to open our border, including halting construction of the southern border wall, ending the successful Trump-era Remain in Mexico policy, and pausing deportations. Since then, more than 10 million illegal aliens have entered our country larger than the population of 38 states.
Despite the many harms of their open border agenda, President Biden and Democrats have championed it for a simple reason: to gain more seats in Congress. Thanks to a day-one executive order by President Biden, illegal aliens count toward the census population, which determines each states share of congressional seats. By taking in as many illegal aliens as possible, Democrat states can help offset the loss of hundreds of thousands of Americans who are fleeing blue jurisdictions for red states.
By granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegals, the Biden administration is building on this effort, setting the stage for illegal immigrants to potentially vote in future U.S. elections.
Recently, I wrote a letter to President Biden pointing out that his amnesty proposal is blatantly unconstitutional by side-stepping congressional authority to alter the legal status of hundreds of thousands of illegals. To be sure, I expect federal courts will deem President Bidens action unlawful, much like President Obamas 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals memorandum, which also extended deportation protections to illegal immigrants.
Still, while President Biden pushes ahead with his unconstitutional amnesty plan and open border agenda, the American people will be left to deal with the consequencesincluding a record surge in migrant crime.
Since October alone, U.S. authorities have apprehended 13,130 illegal aliens with prior criminal convictions including homicide, burglary, assault, drug trafficking, and sexual offenses up from 2,438 in fiscal year 2020, the last full year of the Trump administration. In 2023, that number was 15,267 a more than five-fold increase from 2020.
Just last month, an illegal alien from Ecuador, who crossed the southern border in 2021, was arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl while wielding a machete in a park in Queens, N.Y.
Also, Houston police arrested two Venezuelan illegal aliens for kidnapping and strangling a 12-year-old girl before leaving her body in a bayou. The suspects allegedly committed the heinous crime just weeks after the Biden administration released them into our country after they illegally crossed the southern border.
Last month, law enforcement arrested a Salvadoran illegal alien for raping and murdering a 37-year-old mother of five in Maryland. The suspect, who is also accused of murdering a woman in El Salvador and assaulting a 9-year-old girl and her mother in Los Angeles, crossed the southern border four times last year.
These horrific crimes would have never happened if President Biden secured our southern border. Instead, the president is more concerned about protecting illegal aliens than American citizens with tragic consequences.

WATCH: Video Shows Chicago Migrants Beating Up Straphanger While Sheltered By City – The Daily Wire
Shocking new video footage shows migrants who were staying at a Chicago shelter robbing and beating up a straphanger back in February.
The group of four migrant men from Venezuela can be seen choking a 49-year-old man during a broad daylight strong-arm robbery on Chicagos L train, video surveillance obtained by Fox News shows.
The attack happened just before evening rush hour on February 17.
The migrants put a knife to the victims neck, court documents say, and went through his pockets, taking $400 and a cell phone before leaving him unconscious.
Before the attack, the men appeared to be drinking and smoking on the train. They approached the victim and chatted him up before attacking him. The man reportedly recovered.
The suspects, Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, Carlos Carreno-Carreno, and Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia, are between ages 18 to 22. The four men were arrested about 45 minutes after the attack and gave government-funded migrant shelters as their addresses.
Three of the migrants remained in custody, while Gutierrez Sierra was allowed to go free with electronic monitoring.
They each face charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery/strangulation, and robbery.

Three of the migrant suspects had been previously arrested for shoplifting about a month before the train attack. They had only been in the U.S. for a few months before the robbery. One of the migrants had only been in the country for one month.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for August 28.
Chicago is currently paying to shelter about 13,000 of the more than 44,000 migrants who have arrived in the city over the last two years. The crisis has strained the citys finances and caused city leaders to scramble for space to shelter the new arrivals.
Other cities have suffered similar crises over the last two years. New York City has seen an influx of more than 180,000 illegal migrants over the past two years, creating a financial and shelter space crisis that has caused officials to plead for federal help.
Under the Biden administration, there have been more than 9.5 million migrant encounters across the country, as well as about 1.7 million illegal migrant gotaways, according to immigration authorities.
Earlier this year, immigration surged to become the top issue on voters minds, bumping inflation down to second place, polls showed.
President Biden has reversed many of former President Donald Trumps border policies aimed at slowing the flow of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, including the Remain in Mexico policy, which forced illegal migrants to stay on the Mexican side of the border while they awaited their asylum hearing.
