Want more details on exactly how this new Senate border bill facilitates catch-and-release, empowers Biden's bureaucrats, and will lead to EVEN MORE illegal aliens getting asylum/green cards/path to citizenship?

🧵Here are some points about the new "PROVISIONAL NONCUSTODIAL REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS."
If Mayorkas feels like it, he can send an illegal alien encountered at the border to a new "provisional noncustodial removal proceeding." No real criteria, just if the illegal alien "indicates an INTENTION to apply for a protection determination" or "expresses a credible fear." Image
If DHS elects this pathway, the illegal alien SHALL BE RELEASED from custody into the United States and enrolled in an "alternatives to detention" program. Better known to immigration enforcement experts as "alternatives to deportation," because no one ever gets deported in the program.Image
The proceedings are supposed to wrap up, "to the maximum extent practicable," in 90 days. But that's an exception any liberal administration will use in every single case. And mind you, during this time period, the alien(s) are likely relying on taxpayer-funded shelter and services while they are roaming freely throughout the United States.Image
If you're the illegal alien, don't you worry, your interview won't happen in a place where actual law enforcement officers are located: Image
If the alien establishes a "positive protection determination outcome," they are then sent to a "protection merits removal proceeding." Image
If it's negative, then there's a different path (more on that below): Image
If POSITIVE, the alien SHALL get a work permit: Image
And the ultra-liberal USCIS asylum officers get the direct authority to grant asylum, withholding, or CAT: Image
The unlucky few who don't get a positive determination get even more process!

Image
Image
Image
More process! Image
We could go on and on. But in sum here's what you need to know:
- The bill empowers Biden's liberal asylum officers to shortcut any kind of adversarial process and grant illegal aliens asylum. No cross-examination by an ICE attorney, no evaluation by an independent judge, etc.
- The bill mandates catch-and-release for the aliens subjected to these procedures.
- Aliens in these procedures SHALL get work permits. They will also likely get taxpayer-subsidized shelter and services.
- The Biden Administration WILL use the new procedures to advance their policy goals and continue the invasion. They will grant asylum, creating a pathway to a green card and citizenship for countless tens and hundreds of thousands of aliens each year.
- The new channel puts process on top of process, on top of process. End result = NO ONE IN THESE PROCEEDINGS WILL EVER BE DEPORTED.

🚨The new Senate border bill is out () and we are evaluating it, but here are TEN things you should know to start with (there are more).

In sum, it appears to be WORSE THAN the current law.

Read this 🧵and decide for yourself.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
1. It does not end catch and release. Instead, it facilitates catch and release for certain populations. This should be a MAJOR red flag for all. Image
2. It exempts UAC from the new "break glass" removal authority. Which means it is worthless, as UAC remain a gaping loophole, and we have seen the largest child smuggling operation in history during the Biden Administration. For context, more than 476,000 UAC have come during the Biden Admin. None of them ever go home.Image

🧵From the federal perspective, why is this happening? Why aren’t they being deported?

Secretary Mayorkas shut down interior enforcement through “enforcement priorities.” It used to be the case that illegal aliens who committed crimes would get deported. No more.
Under the guise of "prosecutorial discretion," Mayorkas issued a memorandum in 2021 that outlined the so-called guidelines for the enforcement of our immigration laws.

Mind you, Congress already set out the guidelines in the INA, but the memo eviscerates interior enforcement. Image
Under the memo, there are three general categories of enforcement "priorities." (1) Threats to national security, (2) threats to public safety, and (3) threats to border security. More on those in a minute.

But this line from the memo is critical for a foundational understanding:Image

The PITC memo established the President’s exclusive control over information resources and systems provided to the President.
