A bombshell report from the New York Post found that the Biden Administration is running a secret “mass amnesty” program for illegal aliens.
Data reviewed by The Post found that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by border crossers have been closed by the US government if the applicants do not have a criminal record or are not deemed a threat to the country.
When this happens, asylum is not granted or denied, their cases are “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim,” meaning that they are removed from the system and are no longer required to check in with immigration authorities. The move allows them to freely move about the United States without fear of deportation.
“This is just a massive amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,” said Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge who now works for the Center for Immigration Studies. “You’re basically allowing people who don’t have a right to be in the United States to be here indefinitely,” Arthur told the New York Post.

Since Biden took office in 2021, 77 percent of asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the country. The current backlog of asylum cases stands at 3.5 million, prompting the Biden Administration to remove terminate thousands of cases in order to make the numbers look better, a source told the outlet.
Once cases are closed, illegal aliens are no longer in “removal proceedings” and subject to deportation.
One of Biden’s first actions as president was to rescind former President Donald Trump’s “Remain In Mexico” policy, which required perspective asylum seekers to stay in Mexico prior to their asylum court dates. Instead, the Biden Administration has massively expanded its “catch and release” program, under which illegal aliens are given a court date before being released into the interior United States.
Data has long shown that a large percentage of these people never turn up for their court dates.
International asylum law requires applicants to apply in the first safe country they enter, though this is not the case on the southern border, as “asylum seekers” have been showing up from all over the world. More than 10,000,000 illegal aliens have entered the country since Biden took office, a large number of them being “asylum seekers” from Africa, the Middle East, and dozens of additional countries that would require travel through dozens of international borders before reaching the United States.
