Subject: Re: Get Out, We're Closed
A lot changed for the worse when Biden took over and it was not all or even mostly due to the expiration Title 42. The would be illegals correctly deduced they could get a better deal under Biden that Trump. Why is that?

Let's add some color to this. I'm reading a lot of denial and hand-waving from the left here:

First the bullet points:

- ICE made 142,580 deportations, nearly doubling FY’22, but still a small fraction of the nearly 2.5 million southern border migrant encounters in FY’23 & a steep drop from Trump years. ICE says Title 42 lowered deportation numbers, & they expelled over 60,000 via Title 42, which aren’t deportations.

- The non-detained (released) docket has exploded to over 6 million, almost doubling under Biden since the Trump years. This includes illegal immigrants who have been issued final orders of removal, as well as those with pending cases, which includes those who were issued notices to appear.

- ICE removed only 212 unaccompanied minors in FY’23, despite 137,275 arriving at the southern border in FY’23. The Biden administration is removing less than a drop in the bucket when it comes to these unaccompanied minors.

- ICE deported 139 known or suspected terrorists in FY’23, a huge jump from recent years reflecting more terror watchlist suspects arriving at the southern border than ever before. Previous high in last six years was 2019 with 58 terror removals.

And now the summary:

Overall takeaway: ICE enforcement up significantly from FY’22, but still a small fraction compared to the millions coming across the border. ICE enforcement during Trump years was significantly higher despite much smaller numbers of people coming across the border. For perspective, Trump’s worst year was 2019, when there were 851,000 migrant encounters at the southern border. Biden just had back to back years of 2.3 million and 2.4 million, and Trump’s ICE removals were still significantly higher.


Incentives drive behavior, and right now with Biden in charge there are loads of them.
