Biden's border disaster

When Joe Edlow stepped back into his role as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under President Donald Trump, he braced for the chaos left by years of Biden’s open-border policies. What he found went beyond the expected disaster at the southern border.

Edlow quickly discovered an agency overwhelmed not just by massive asylum claims, but by a complete neglect of fraud detection during the previous administration. Now, he’s leading the charge to root out scams in the system and strengthen safeguards against illegal voting.

“What I didn’t know was what some of our backlogs turned into,” Edlow said. Appointed by Trump in March and sworn in by July, Edlow inherited an agency pushed to the edge after handling over 8.5 million migrant encounters under Biden. He wasn’t shocked by the scale, but the outright indifference to fraud left him stunned.

Before this, Edlow had been chief counsel and deputy director at USCIS during Trump’s first term. Returning now, he faced asylum backlogs that had exploded far beyond what he remembered.

“We had about 450,000 cases that were pending on the asylum active docket,” Edlow said of the end of Trump’s first term. “When I got back, there were over 1.5 million cases.”

“Does anything surprise on me what they were doing? Yeah, what surprised me is they weren’t doing much,” he continued. “We already knew that there was a misalignment of priorities and resources, but that became painfully obvious that really USCIS was acting as kind of the the arm of the administration to help maneuver the parole programs, to do what they could on credible fear and to ultimately try to address the growing border crisis that the Bidens have created.”

The Biden team was waiving criminals into the country, setting off crimes from California to New York.  It looks like they didn't care about that becasue they thought they were importing Democrat voters.
