Administration attempts to hide its illegal immigration problem

Although illegal border crossings have decreased, critics argue that the administration is masking the true nature of the problem by creating legal avenues for foreign nationals to enter the U.S. on a large scale. The administration recently pointed to a 50% reduction in border encounters between ports of entry as a result of the executive order. However, it also noted that over half a million foreign nationals have been flown into the U.S. under a mass parole program, and nearly a million others have scheduled appointments with the government to seek entry.

According to a CBP press release, approximately 530,000 individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have been flown into the U.S. and granted parole under the Biden-Harris administration’s CHNV program. Additionally, around 813,000 migrants have booked appointments through the CBP One app since its launch in January 2023.

“These schemes only serve to hide the crisis in plain sight and increase the number of inadmissible aliens who are released into our communities with insufficient vetting and screening,” said House Homeland Committee Chairman Mark Green earlier this month.

The congressman had previously criticized both initiatives, describing them as a “massive shell game” that allows otherwise inadmissible individuals to lawfully enter the U.S. without crossing the border illegally.

On immigration, Kamala Harris is severely underwater compared to her general election season opponent Donald Trump. Most surveys show that Donald Trump has a double-digit lead on trust from the average American voter on immigration over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Surely her past comments (which she’s desperate to distance herself from) about wanting to basically give illegal immigrants a completely free lifestyle here in the United States doesn’t help her case at all.

She has said just a few short years ago that she absolutely supports healthcare for all individuals residing in the United States, not just United States citizens.

I think Harris and the Democrats are responding to polling showing voters oppose their mass immigration schemes.   The Democrats really wanted to import illegals and register them to vote.  The scheme backfired on them with American citizens.
