    Border Patrol in Rio Grande Valley releasing illegal crossers into US without court date
    The unprecedented move places the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants

    The unprecedented move places the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants through Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or legal assistance.

    Multiple Border Patrol agents confirmed the new process to Fox News, revealing that they have been directed to use prosecutorial discretion (PD) to forgo the hours-long process of paperwork required to issue an NTA amid the surge of migrants at the border.

    Instead, migrants are registered into the system with biometrical data taken and largely released into the public - in one instance - at a bus station in McAllen, TX. The processing is being done mostly at a temporary outdoor processing site. Border Patrol agents emphasized that this does not apply to unaccompanied children.

    BIDEN ADMIN ALLOWED MAJORITY OF MIGRANT FAMILIES WHO SURRENDERED AT BORDER INTO US

    A senior source with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told Fox News on Saturday that officials were considering the controversial move because the ongoing crisis on the border has "become so dire that BP [Border Patrol] has no choice but to release people nearly immediately after apprehension because there is no space to hold people even to do necessary NTA paperwork."

    The process of issuing each migrant an NTA can take hours per individual or family.

    The decision comes as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working to open another facility for unaccompanied child migrants in Pecos, Texas, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announced Saturday.

    The Temporary Influx Care Facility would house at least 500 unaccompanied minors to start, with the capacity to house 2,000 children.

    "While ORR has worked to build up its licensed bed capacity to almost 13,500 beds, additional capacity is urgently needed to manage both enhanced COVID-19 mitigation strategies and the increasing numbers of UC referrals from DHS," an ORR spokesperson said.

    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Alejandro Mayorkas said last week that border crossings were on track to be the highest in 20 years.

    CBP announced it had encountered more than 100,000 migrants at the border in February, while numbers of child migrants in custody have also increased dramatically. The Biden administration has been moving to increase capacity of facilities to house migrants, and building a number of extra facilities — including looking at NASA sites and military bases.

    The Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

  4. Biden stepped in some doo-doo here that will come back to haunt him at some point.

    He is sayin that he has no immediate need to go there because he knows what's going on. Let's see how that ages. We have already seen him do the walkback of the decade which is "I have been clear that migrants should not come" after telling the world that no one would be deported in the first 100 days if they came. You can expect to be hearing him say "if I had known about x,y,z in the facilities or other practices I would have taken action."

    Another day of Bullshiiting with Biden.

    MORE TO COME


    President Biden said Sunday that he intends to travel to the southern border "at some point," telling reporters that he is in no rush to visit because "I know what's going in those facilities."

  5. LEVEL 5 CROCK ALERT!

    Washington Post making the case that Joe Biden is facing the unforeseen events that confront all presidents.

    WRONG!!! On what planet is the border crisis unforeseen and not totally predictable? Telling the whole world that you will have open borders and no one will be deported. Who could have foreseen what would happen there? Idiots.

    Try again, WAPO. It's gonna take more than that to put lipstick on this pig. Enjoy the honeymoon Joe. It is now at least half over.

    We had an entire campaign where Biden and voters were warned day in and day out about exactly what is happening. "Unexpected challenge." Gimme a friggin break.

    The surge of migration presents an unexpected challenge for Biden and his team

    For most of the first 60 days of President Biden’s administration, his White House controlled the agenda and the national discussion. The team focused on the coronavirus pandemic, successfully accelerating the pace of vaccinations while muscling through Congress the nearly $2 trillion American Rescue Plan over united Republican opposition.


    But Biden and his team now face what every administration eventually confronts: the unforeseen events that can disrupt the best-laid plans and choreography of a White House. The surge of undocumented immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border has done just that — and amplified an issue that long has been a vulnerability for the Democrats.

  9. I see.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Probably the libs here will want to break down in to small groups, and put up a whiteboard with post-its and try to figure out what you mean by that.

    Me? I am okay. I get it.
