Biden administration officials have dramatically reduced the number of criminal aliens arrested and removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), despite claims that their immigration policies would increase focus on criminals. One of the ways the administration has reduced enforcement against criminal aliens is by refusing to cooperate with state and local law enforcement partners in the important 287(g) program. Through this program, local law enforcement officers have been trained on how to identify criminal aliens in their jails, notify ICE, and assist with the safe transfer of these individuals into ICE custody.

The Biden administration has changed the ICE webpage a number of times in an attempt to downplay the 287(g) program. In the most recent update, the administration admitted that it put a hold or pause on onboarding any new partners to the 287(g) program and admitted further that 23 pending partnerships are not operational despite having already been signed by both ICE and a sheriffs department. This admission was on ICEs website for only about a week before it was taken down:

Below are the descriptions of the program as they existed on January 19, 2021, and August 21, 2023.

This is how the description of the 287(g) program appeared on the ICE webpage under the Trump administration, which championed the program and expanded it to about 150 agreements, from only a few dozen under the Obama administration:

This is how the Biden administration describes the 287(g) program, today. The tepid language makes it clear the Biden administration is not interested in celebrating law enforcement cooperation on our nations illegal immigration problem:

Prior to the Biden administration, ICE also included language highlighting some of the programs successes. This language was quickly removed by the Biden administration:

The Biden administration also immediately stopped producing the monthly 287(g) reports launched by the Trump administration. These reports were the first time the public could see the various successes of the program and each contains brief case studies from various jurisdictions. The goal was to expand these further and provide additional information, but the Biden administration apparently didnt want to showcase the program and likely had fewer success stories to tell in any case. Those reports were briefly removed from ICE.gov and are available here in case they are taken down in the future:

Biden Admin Changes ICE's 287(g) Webpage, Admits There's a 'Hold' On the Program - Immigration Blog

Germany continues to uphold its reputation as being Europes most popular destination for migrants entering the continent illegally.

As recent statistics from the Federal Police show, July saw the most migrants entering Germany illegally this year so far, with 10,714 entries recorded.

The figure continues the upward trend observed since last February while exceeding the one of July the year before (6,941).

In May and June alone, a total of 17,993 people entered Germany illegally.

So far this year, 56,052 migrants have come to Germany illegallyalmost as many as the entirety of 2021. Last year, the total was 91.986.

These figures are further evidence that the measures proposed by [Chancellor Olaf Scholzs] traffic light government at the last refugee summit are not working, head of the Federal Police Union Heiko Teggatz told Bild.

In May 2023, to appease local governments complaints that they were overwhelmed by migrants, Scholz promised to enforce tighter border controls. A measure that, at least in the short term, appears not to have paid off.

A few days ago, Minister-President Reiner Haseloff (CDU) of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt commented that we are currently overextending ourselves with [our efforts at] integration.

Immigrants with no prospects in Germany, he added, should be sent back to their home country as soon as possible, and should be better distinguished from those entitled to asylum and war refugees. Haseloff argued the Scholz government had failed to make this distinction, and concluded they could no longer put off this problem.

The new statistics come just as Germanys federal government passed a draft bill to loosen the nations citizenship law. The government argues that fast-tracking the citizenship process will attract skilled migrants to plug chronic labor shortages.

Reacting to the passing of the bill, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) took to X, formerly Twitter, saying the reform was a commitment to a modern Germany. We are creating immigration law that does justice to our diverse society. Finally!

Letter to the editor: US can't afford illegal immigration - Huntington Herald Dispatch

Andrea Jenkyns MP writes: The arrival of undocumented migrants on UK shores not only raises concerns about national security but also places significant strains on public resources.

It's time for the UK to seize the opportunity to assert control over its borders and reevaluate its approach to illegal immigration.

Undoubtedly, immigration is a complex and multifaceted issue. It's important to recognize that legal immigration has been a cornerstone of the UK's development and prosperity. However, the subject of illegal immigration requires attention due to the strain it places on public resources, particularly when migrants are temporarily housed in accommodations such as hotels at the taxpayers' expense. This raises valid concerns about fairness and the proper utilization of public funds.

Leaving the EU has granted the UK greater sovereignty over its borders. This newfound control should not be taken lightly. The ability to determine who enters the country is a privilege that carries immense responsibility. It is crucial to strike a balance between compassion and security, ensuring that genuine asylum seekers find refuge while also safeguarding the nation's integrity.

To this end, there is a growing call for the UK to reassess its relationship with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and take further steps to exercise its autonomy over immigration policies. While the ECHR has played an important role in safeguarding human rights across Europe, some argue that its application to immigration matters has hampered the UK's ability to manage its borders effectively. I have joined teams with the Conservative Post to create a petition, advocating for the UK to leave the ECHR in relation to immigration matters.

The term "illegal immigration" encapsulates not only the journey of migrants but also the policy landscape that either encourages or discourages such activities. As the UK charts its course in a post-EU era, it must establish comprehensive policies that address the issues of immigrants making the dangerous journey across oceans and tackling migrant smugglers.

Story continues

Crucially, tackling illegal immigration necessitates international collaboration. While asserting control over borders is a sovereign prerogative, cooperation with neighbouring countries is vital, such as France who have for years recognised the issue but seen it as not their problem. This can involve sharing intelligence, coordinating search and rescue efforts, and addressing the underlying issues that prompt people to undertake dangerous journeys in the first place.

In conclusion, illegal immigration is a challenge that requires a multifaceted approach, considering both security concerns and humanitarian considerations.

The UK's departure from the EU provides an opportunity to reshape immigration policies in alignment with its national interests. It is time to stop the boats and put the British people first!

Andrea Jenkyns MP: Addressing illegal immigration and taking control of UK borders - Yahoo News UK

OPINION:

Last month, I met a recent Ivy League graduate who devotes his computer-science skills to a Silicon Valley enterprise. He is bright and creative, and he speaks with a splash of a British accent. He wants nothing more than to thrive in the tech sector and, consequently, make America rich again.

Alas, this young man failed to score an H-1B visa when Customs and Immigration Services awarded them by lottery on March 27. Of 483,927 registrants, 85,000 received visas. But he was not one of them.

So, any day now, the Biden administration will take this highly educated, productive son of our closest ally and deport him. Back to Britain he will go with his American dreams delayed or destroyed.

Meanwhile, in bitter contrast to this Englishmans rejection, illegal aliens savor concierge service as they invade, overrun and occupy America.

On Aug. 5, three machine-gun-toting cartel members waltzed across the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, Texas. The Border Patrol chased them, but they got away.

These thugs are armed and deadly, and they could be plotting evil anywhere in America.

On Aug. 8, some 200 illegal aliens stormed the border crossing at Brownsville, Texas. Rather than wait patiently, they swamped Border Patrol officers, breached the checkpoint, and dashed into the interior.

Who are they? Where are they? Who knows?

Over 100,000 illegal aliens have overpowered New York City since last spring. They clog the sidewalks outside and rooms inside the previously venerable Roosevelt Hotel, where bandleader Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians dazzled radio listeners with Auld Lang Syne on many New Years Eves.

Democratic Mayor Eric Adams has converted soccer fields on Randalls Island (in the East River) into a giant shelter for 2,000 illegals. Taxpayers starved for recreation and teenagers seeking team sports rather than trouble are out of luck.

This facility will cost $20 million per month, or $10,000 for each illegal alien, every month. How many U.S. citizens receive a staggering $120,000 in annualized welfare?

Madrid-based Marca.com estimated an average Americans yearly public assistance:

$13,200 in housing subsidies.

$8,346 in Medicaid.

$234.42 in food stamps.

$7,404 in Supplemental Security Income.

$418 for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

$2,411 in earned income tax credits.

This totals over $32,000. At least on Randalls Island, foreign citizens who barged into the United States cost taxpayers 373.7% of that amount.

This is repulsive.

Mr. Adams reckons that babysitting these illegals will cost Gotham taxpayers $12 billion by 2025. The long-term financial burden for these criminals is incalculable and excruciating.

While illegal aliens enjoy boutique hotels, low-income New Yorkers endure public housing projects. Rather than room service, they get rats and roaches. Instead of maid service, the New York City Housing Authoritys 528,105 tenants stomach $78 billion in deferred maintenance.

Equity?

Nope.

This unfairness is vulgar.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis, polio, leprosy and plague have cropped up in America. Doctors explain that these previously conquered diseases have reemerged thanks, in part, to illegal aliens who storm in without medical exams, a requirement for immigrant-visa applicants.

Meanwhile, according to Customs and Border Protection, 144,571 illegals invaded America in June. Border Patrol agents apprehended 1,782,615 illegals in former President Donald Trumps final 29 months in power. In President Bidens first 29 months, they encountered an outrageous 5,606,785 illegals up a calamitous 215%.

Comparing the plight of these pampered illegals and the legal but spurned H-1B lottery loser, America has clearly devolved into Upside-downia.

So, this modest proposal might begin to turn America back into Right-Side-Upistan:

Grant H-1B visas to all applicants with employers ready to hire them. Then, deport just as many illegal aliens whose first act in America violated federal law by breaking in with neither papers nor permission.

The United States would harness the diligence, energy, and innovation of these legal aliens and unleash desperately needed justice upon an equal number of taxpayer-sucking illegals who invaded America.

In short, boot the illegal aliens. And may a million H-1Bs bloom.
