The Biden administration chose to withhold<\/a> from the public a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report tallying the number of visa overstays<\/a> in the United States. Prior administrations \u2013 including those of both Presidents Obama and Trump – released these reports without any controversy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her first appearance as President Biden\u2019s press secretary, Jen Psaki declared<\/a> that the Biden administration would \u201cbring transparency and truth back to the government to share the truth, even when it\u2019s hard to hear.\u201d It appears the administration reneged on that promise when it comes to immigration enforcement. This is not surprising given the administration\u2019s open hostility toward immigration enforcement. In this administration\u2019s first year, President Biden\u2019s political appointees have issued memos<\/a> forbidding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from performing their jobs, attempted to install a deportation moratorium<\/a> and end the Migrant Protection Protocols<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visa overstays constitute a huge number of illegal aliens in this country. Many of the 9\/11 hijackers<\/a> were in the United States on expired visas. Despite repeated calls for the implementation of a functioning entry\/exit system, there is no current comprehensive system to assure that the immigration authorities know whether aliens admitted as nonimmigrants continue residing in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, DHS releases this overstay report to Congress.\nIt usually becomes available online for the general public after its\npresentation to Congress. The Washington Free Beacon\u2019s Joseph Simonson reported\nthat Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) confirmed Congress has the latest edition of\nthe report. So why hasn\u2019t the Biden administration released the information to\nthe general public? And given the Biden administration\u2019s seeming refusal to release\nthe report, why haven\u2019t Republicans released it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be because the Biden administration is fearful of more bad immigration press. The RealClearPolitics polling average for President Biden\u2019s approval rating is 42.3 percent<\/a>. A whopping 59.8 percent disapprove<\/a> of the president\u2019s handling of immigration. The White House knows that immigration is a significant problem for them, yet they refuse to do anything about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the Biden administration\u2019s insistence on being the\nmost \u201ctransparent administration in history,\u201d that does not appear to be the\ncase when it comes to immigration data. The American people deserve to know\nwhat it is in this report, given the large impact that visa overstays have on\nthe illegal alien population. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
