Recently, The New York Post uncovered a concerning revelation regarding the Biden administration’s immigration strategies. Sources reveal that the administration has been quietly implementing what critics dub a “mass amnesty” program for undocumented immigrants.
While maintaining a public facade of stringent border security, behind closed doors, the administration has been closing the cases of undocumented individuals without criminal records or deemed non-threatening, effectively granting them de facto amnesty.
Since 2022, the US government has closed over 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants who do not have a criminal record or pose no perceived threat to the nation. Consequently, these individuals are removed from the legal system, allowing them to reside in the US indefinitely without the fear of deportation.

This clandestine move has sparked concerns about national security and the integrity of the immigration system. Critics argue that permitting hundreds of thousands of individuals to roam freely without proper assessment poses a significant risk to public safety.
Research conducted by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) indicates a notable surge in the number of undocumented immigrants granted de facto amnesty since 2020. Under the Biden administration, approximately 77 percent of such individuals are allowed to remain in the country, with only 22 percent ordered for removal, signifying a substantial shift in immigration enforcement policies compared to prior administrations.
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, has denounced this practice as potentially “impeachable,” emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Fitton contends that the lenient approach to undocumented immigration poses a direct threat to national security, as many individuals enter the country without proper vetting or assessment of their asylum claims.
Moreover, ICE officers have reported an increase in cases of migrants committing crimes subsequent to the dismissal of their asylum cases. This not only compromises public safety but also strains law enforcement agencies tasked with removal proceedings.
Contrasting the Biden administration’s approach with that of the Trump administration reveals a stark disparity in policies. While Trump-era immigration courts ordered the removal of thousands of migrants and granted asylum to a fraction of that number, the Biden administration’s leniency has led to a surge in de facto amnesty cases.
The Biden administration’s handling of immigration has ignited outrage among critics, who argue that it transcends mere negligence and amounts to active facilitation of undocumented immigration. The repercussions of such policies could have far-reaching implications for national security and public safety.
As demands for accountability intensify, the American people are left to contemplate the ramifications of a fractured immigration system and its potential impact on the nation’s future.
