DHS Offical Destroys Democrat Narrative on Family Unit Migrations

For as long as I can remember, Democrats have been trying to downplay the fact those filing for amnesty skip out on their hearing.

Acting Homeland Secretary Kevin McAleenan provided some actual facts during recent testimony to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) that have created considerable outrage in the conservative community.

They Never Show Up

One of the points we have made her regularly is the fact a “family unit” is often a scam for illegals heading into the country.

People enter as a family unit and ask for asylum because they know current laws only allow them to be held for a very small period of time, then they are released into our country.

They get a hearing date, but we often never hear or see from them again.

Democrats never mention this, and now we know why.

When asked about this problem by Senator Graham, Secretary McAleenan stated, “It depends on demographic, the court, but we see too many cases where people are not showing up.

“Of those 7,000 cases, 90 received final orders of removal in absentia, 90 percent.”

Senator Graham was obviously taken aback by the answer, asking for more clarity on the statement, “90 percent did not show up?”

To which Secretary McAleenan answered, “Correct, that is a recent sample from families crossing the border.”

McAleenan also provided some further clarification on the matter.

He stated, “Currently, due to a single district court order, we cannot obtain effective immigration enforcement results for the families arriving at our border.

“They cannot be held for longer than 21 days, and do not receive rulings from immigration courts for years.”

At the current rate of illegal crossings, this would amount to more than 100,000 immigrants passing through every month, meaning roughly 1.5 million new illegals are being released into our country every single year.

When Will Congress Act?

For far too long, Democrats have obstructed immigration reform legislation, which has made Republicans gun-shy about even proposing it.

Our Senate needs to take action and bombard the House with proposals so the American people can see where the problem lies.

After all, the House has been using this tactic since January.

Pelosi regularly puts partisan legislation on the floor that does not even begin to address Republican concerns, then blames the fact it failed on the Republican-controlled Senate.

While I am completely against “message” legislation, it would appear tactics need to be changed to offset what Democrats are doing in office.

The time has come for McConnell to get a little dirty and be willing to face criticism to expose Democrats.

If he won’t do it, put Graham in charge, because he seems to have no problem doing Trump’s dirty work for him.
