LInk to chart at bottom of article.

Dear fellow Americans:

Please allow me to flesh out an approach to the asylum assault on the borders that I have years ago forwarded to DC and now go into detail about for you. This is what the issue is today.

First, aliens are not entitled due process. They have a hearing before an Immigration Judge. That’s it. The Immigration Judge needs to be close to where the alien is encountered, ie the border.

Second, asylum applicants at Ports of Entry are on neutral ground. Employees designated Immigration by title are Immigration Officers and routinely process applicants for asylum and other claims at Ports of Entry.

Third, Border Patrol Agents are also Immigration Officers by law as are various other employees whose function is Immigration related such at Immigration Attorneys.

Fourth, aliens that enter illegally and are processed by an Immigration Officer (primarily Border Patrol Agents) are processed on a “NARRATIVE I-213” which essentially tells the alien's story about how they came to be sitting in front of an Immigration Officer of the United States as well as biographical information and identifying information. A very simple form. No additional processing by the initial agent is necessary.

Fifth, this I-213 and accompanying record is called a creation of record for that alien if they do not already have a record on file. Everything up to this point pretty much applies to all aliens that are illegal regardless of any claim they may make then or in the future and is routine.

Sixth, as far as I know these Asylum, Refugee, OTM (other than Mexican) and MINOR I-213’s in particular are reviewed by a Supervisory Agent or Officer before the subject leaves the point of processing.

Seventh, It is this reviewing officer (could be any designated or cross-designated Immigration Officer from anywhere) that may make the asylum determination as to whether it is credible or is it not. The determination is routine and can involve a simple check list. The difference is what Department of Homeland Security decides to do with the alien by policy.

Eighth, if the alien wishes to contest the decision of #7 above he/she is taken to an Immigration Judge within 24 hours for a hearing and decision. That is why Immigration Judges must be at the border.

Ninth, any removal of the alien that follows must happen almost immediately, preferably by U.S. Military Marked aircraft to the home country of the alien because the visual is effective. The spoken word is not. The entire process should not take more than 72 hours, 20 days is excessive. Most asylum claimants should never get past visual sight of the border.

Tenth, by not following this time tested and successful procedure, it creates a dilatory environment when competing interests can intervene against the best interests of America which is happening as I write this.

No reason not to follow this procedure is sufficient that allows thousands of young male illegal aliens between the ages of 13-17 to come into the United States and remain permanently because the Refugee Resettlement branch of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of State want them to remain and are able to leverage enough deep state influence to make it happen. Now is not the time to go squishy on border security. This is Immigration Fraud on a massive scale perpetrated by the government of the United States and needs to be prosecuted.

Clearly elements of the U.S. Government are working against the best interests of America. Please join NAFBPO and rigorously support this fair and expedient resolution to the crisis on our borders.

Washington, D.C. (April 9, 2019) - New analysis of a chart from the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the Department of Justice (DOJ) component with jurisdiction over the immigration courts, provides a useful snapshot to help explain the border crisis and the number of valid claims among the hundreds of thousands of migrants who have sought asylum through the credible-fear process.

Andrew Arthur, the Center's Resident Fellow in Law and Policy and author of the analysis, said, "As the chart shows, only 48 migrants out of 100 who claim to have a credible fear of persecution actually bother to file for asylum. Of those 48 migrants, on average only 13 are found to actually have credible fear and are granted asylum. Clearly, Congress needs to act--but first, it needs to acknowledge there is a problem."
