The Biden administration recently made a big splash about the President’s supposed mandate to reduce asylum claims from illegal immigrants at the border.

But it’s important to look — not at what the administration is saying — but at what it’s actually doing. President Biden is now offering a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants married to US citizens. It would be one of the most sweeping immigration programs in decades. It’s effectively amnesty.  

This is in addition to the administration closing more than three hundred fifty thousand asylum cases since 2022. That decision has removed any requirement for illegal immigrants claiming asylum to touch base with authorities. They can travel throughout our country without being tracked, or risking deportation.

So don’t be fooled. The Biden administration has no interest in addressing illegal immigration. Claims to the contrary are just election year theatrics.
