The Trump campaign released a statement Tuesday morning slamming Joe Biden’s expected executive order in order to aid the ongoing border crisis.
Trump’s Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released a statement Tuesday morning slamming Biden’s potential order for pushing “amnesty” and not “security.”
“Let’s be clear — Joe Biden’s Executive Order is for amnesty, not border security. After importing more than 15 million illegal aliens into our country and releasing countless migrants who have brutally raped and murdered our citizens, this new order will facilitate the release of more illegals as quickly as possible with a smartphone app,” the statement read.
“The order also exempts minors from any enforcement, giving a green light to child traffickers and sex traffics…The border invasion and migrant crime will not stop until Crooked Joe Biden is deported from the White House,” the statement concluded.
Biden’s White House has reportedly been signaling to lawmakers that he is expected to sign off on an executive order that would shut down asylum requests at the U.S. southern border after the average daily encounter hits 2,500 between ports of entry, according to AP News. As current numbers are above 2,500, the border would shut down immediately and then only reopen when the number declines to 1,500, the outlet reported.
However, according to a bombshell report by the New York Post, the Biden administration has been operating a program of “mass amnesty” for migrants behind closed doors. Over 350,000 asylum cases have been filed by migrants since 2022 and closed by the U.S. government, pending if the applicant does not have a criminal record or is deemed a threat to the U.S., the outlet reported.
While terminating their case does not grant or deny asylum, it allows cases to be “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim,” according to the NY Post, thus allowing them to move legally and indefinitely throughout the U.S. without being deported.
Data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded 961,537 border encounters by February, with an estimated nearly 7.3 million illegal crossings at the southwest border under President Biden’s leadership, according to Fox News.
