The Biden administration acted like it was cracking down on illegal immigration before the election, but now, it seems to be quietly loosening all of the restrictions and trying to get as many migrants into the country as possible.
In New York City, Biden plans to start using an ICE Portal app that will allow illegal immigrants to skip in-person meetings and just check in online.
Sources at the DHS say the software is not reliable and often glitches, allowing migrants to escape authorities.
In addition, the app does not check for previous arrests or outstanding warrants, which is part of the in-person check-in process.
Another initiative from the administration allows migrants to contest orders to be tracked electronically while they wait for their asylum hearings.
In reality, most of the migrants that have been let in by the Biden administration don't qualify for asylum and could quickly have been evaluated and turned away at the border.
But that wouldn't accomplish the administration's goals to bring in millions of new potential Democrat voters--if they could have gained enough power to give them amnesty and make them citizens as they hoped to do.
Trump's election has thrown a monkey wrench into their plans and they are scrambling to make it as hard as possible for him to deport all the illegal immigrants they let in over the last four years.
“A lot of lawsuits get filed, maybe frivolously, but it just kind of stalls what the administration wants to do,” one DHS source said.
“This is an obstructionist transition,” former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said.
“What they’re trying to do in the last final day, they’re going to try to put up as many roadblocks and obstacles and throw as many grenades as they can on their way out.”
In New York, the ICE office is already "fully booked through October 2032" for appointments to process migrants, and many of them are now roaming the streets freely with no supervision.
A source familiar with the administration's plans said, "What it is doing is creating a lot of burdensome administrative paperwork justifying what they’re doing now. I can tell you a lot of employees would just look at this is this is too much work. Most cases, they’ll just terminate them from the program and not have to go through the appeal process."
Trump is adamant about fixing the crisis, despite these challenges. We will see what the next four years bring.
