The Biden regime has admitted it’s flown in hundreds of thousands of illegals on secret flights to the United States but is refusing to tell lawmakers where cities they’re being flown to.
The details: A report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that in 2023 alone, 320,000 “inadmissible migrants” were flown directly from their home countries to US cities.
Zoom out: These hundreds of thousands of illegals are in addition to the record-high 3.2 million illegals encountered in fiscal year 2023.
How is this happening? Last year, the Biden regime rolled out the CBP One smartphone app, which allows people to apply for asylum from their home country. Then, Biden flies them to the US using our tax dollars and gives them two years to obtain legal status.
Where are they going? The CIS report confirmed 43 US airports received the illegals. Still, the Biden regime’s US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has refused to disclose which cities they’re being dropped in, citing security “vulnerabilities.”
Back up: Since taking office, Biden has undertaken a massive expansion of our immigration parole programs, which have historically been used to allow asylum seekers to come to the US for significant crises like war or natural disasters. But Biden has abused these programs, giving parole to over 1 million people.
Big picture: Biden is using these taxpayer-funded flights to lessen the traffic seen at the southern border. Tens of thousands of illegals at the border are bad optics for the regime. Flying them to US cities in the dead of night gets much less attention.
