After months of moving illegal aliens into the country, federal officials are sending mailers to 78,000<\/a> of the migrants instructing them to show up for immigration court hearings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S.\nImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says its Operation Horizon will\ninitiate \u201cremoval proceedings in a timely way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more\ntimely approach would have turned back these individuals at the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICE\u2019s\npaper chase was launched because illegal aliens were not given notices to\nappear in court at the time of their crossing. Now they\u2019re going to get those\nnotices. Or maybe not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmailing list of 78,000 is a mere fraction of the hundreds of thousands of\nmigrants who have entered this country since Joe Biden moved into the White\nHouse. According to official reports, 61 percent of the 1.7 million migrant\nencounters at the border during the last fiscal year were expelled. That leaves\nmore than 680,000 (roughly the population of Boston) who were allowed to enter.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE 1: These numbers do not untold numbers of \u201cgotaways\u201d<\/a> who elude apprehension and aren\u2019t on anyone\u2019s mailing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE 2: U.S. immigration courts currently have a backlog of more than 1.4 million pending cases<\/a>, according to data compiled by Syracuse University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confidently, ICE pledges, “Action will be taken against those that do not appear [in court], consistent with the law and department priorities.\u201d Since the agency has been essentially sidelined by Team Biden<\/a>, we\u2019re not sure about its \u201cpriorities\u201d these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even\nimmigrant advocates are skeptical about ICE\u2019s mail campaign. “We know that when people are entering, they give [Customs\nand Border Protection, CBP] an address of where they know somebody in the\nUnited States. But that doesn’t mean that it is where they reside,” said\nAmy Fischer, advocacy director at Amnesty International USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return to\nsender, anyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Chris\nMagnus, Biden’s nominee to lead CBP, admitted at a congressional hearing recently:\n“The better practice would be to have individuals be noticed to\nappear” when encountered at the southern border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This entire operation leads to one obvious\nconclusion: An administration that isn\u2019t enforcing immigration laws at the\nborder has no serious intention of doing so anywhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
