Migrants who claim they’re afraid to return to their home country could avoid deportation
President Joe Biden’s executive order to limit illegal crossings on the southern border is full of exemptions for migrants who claim asylum, an internal memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
The memo outlines the intent of the executive order, which is to “significantly increase the consequences in place for noncitizens who cross irregularly.” The goal, the memo states, is to “decrease encounter rates at the southern border.”
But even after the border is allegedly shut down after 2,500 average illegal crossings a day over the course of the week, a number of migrants may still enter the United States. Any “noncitizen,” the memo states, may be permitted to enter under “urgent humanitarian” conditions.
A copy of the memo can be seen here.
