In a parting shot to President-elect Donald Trump, President Joe Biden is making the immigration disaster worse earlier than he leaves workplace.
As sources advised the New York Put up, Biden’s administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app beginning in early December in New York Metropolis that can enable migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their native ICE workplace.
Homeland Safety sources stated the app will make it simpler for migrants to flee authorities partly as a result of the software program has confirmed to be glitchy and unreliable.
Thanks, Joe.
That is simply one other piece of the “resistance” Democrats are waging in opposition to Trump and his impending insurance policies, particularly his crackdown on immigration and mass deportations. What they fail to understand is that also they are “resisting” the American individuals who voted for Trump and/or desire a stronger border. In a June Gallup ballot, 47% of People stated they favored “deporting all immigrants who’re dwelling in the US illegally again to their residence nation.” An October Marquette Regulation College ballot discovered 58% of registered voters in help of “deporting immigrants who’re dwelling in the US illegally again to their residence international locations.”
As CNN famous, respondents in a variety of polls did additionally help authorized pathways to citizenship. However that could be a far cry from letting unlawful immigrants fly underneath the radar by skipping ICE workplace check-ins. The Put up’s sources added that even when it’s working accurately, the brand new app doesn’t test for previous arrests or excellent warrants — one thing the present system tied to in-person appointments does.
Former performing Customs and Border Safety Commissioner Mark Morgan slammed the Biden administration’s last-minute strikes as “the alternative of a peaceable transition of energy.”
“What they’re making an attempt to do within the final closing day, they’re going to attempt to put up as many roadblocks and obstacles and throw as many grenades as they will on their method out.”
Biden’s transfer pairs with sanctuary cities doubling down on their obstructionist efforts to “defend” migrants from ICE deportation. That this posturing coincided with the sentencing of Jose Ibarra, the 26-year-old unlawful immigrant who stalked, raped and murdered nursing pupil Laken Riley earlier this 12 months displays the ideological bubble by which progressives reside.
Sanctuary communities that solely not too long ago had been crying uncle over the exorbitant prices of sheltering and caring for migrants and the dearth of accessible house now seemingly put these considerations on the again burner.
Trump desires our porous border shored up and immigration insurance policies strengthened? Resist, resist, resist.
There’s a heady fervor to the post-election anti-Trump sentiment amongst Democrats, from girls shaving their heads in protest, to celebrities leaving the “dystopian” nation and sure leaders vowing to offer protected havens to individuals who flouted immigration legal guidelines to be right here.
Trump will transfer again in to the White Home and begin to enact his insurance policies. The roadblocks thrown up by Democrats might sluggish him down, even stall vital motion via authorized wrangling. Sanctuary cities will proudly fly the flag of resistance as unlawful migrants pour in.
After which will inevitably come the query: “Now what can we do?”
