A new report suggests that the Biden-Harris Administration left roughly 90% of illegal aliens alone despite implementing a new program with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that allegedly was meant to deport more illegals.
According to Just The News, Congressman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, issued a statement following the first reports of this drastic shortcoming, which was originally reported by the New York Post.
The program in question, Family Expedited Removal Management (FERM), was first announced in May of 2023. Despite the number of families apprehended at the border by border patrol reaching nearly 850,000 since the program’s implementation, only about 2,600 illegals have been deported.
“These numbers are further proof that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies have nothing to do with actually securing the border or enforcing the law, but instead masking its utter refusal to do either of those things,” said Congressman Green.
“Such a dismal rate of removals makes clear that President Biden, ‘border czar’ Kamala Harris, and now-impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are committed to ignoring U.S. immigration law, while attempting to hide that fact from the American people,” Green continued. “Ultimately, these individuals have a simple responsibility—detain and remove those who have no lawful basis to remain. You don’t need new programs to do that, just a respect for the law.”
Ever since usurping Biden to become the new Democratic Party nominee for president in the upcoming 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) has faced backlash for her direct role in the administration’s “open-borders” policy towards immigration. In 2021, Biden announced that he was appointing Harris as the administration’s “border czar,” tasking her with overseeing immigration. But Harris did nothing to curb the flood of illegals, and never even visited the border for the longest time. Her first visit to the border came only after former President Donald Trump announced that he would be visiting the border as part of his campaign.
