Biden Gives Work Permits to Nearly 32K Border Crossers in Two Months

Border stats 10/2021: (article) The Dept of Homeland Security has provided nearly 32,000 border crossers with work permits, allowing them to be released into the United States interior over the last two months, according to DHS documents reviewed by Fox News’s Adam Shaw and Bill Melugin.

In addition, the documents show various subgroups of border crossers that have been released into the U.S. interior. For instance, nearly 95,000 border crossers have been released with notices to report to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency since March and another nearly 40,000 border crossers have been released on their own recognizance since August 6 — the policy by which border crossers merely give a promise that they will show up to their future immigration hearings.

Last month, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd stated that upwards of 600,000 border crossers have been released into the U.S. interior by the Biden administration since late January. These released border crossers are in addition to the more than 300,000 border crossers that DHS officials believe have successfully illegally entered the U.S. over the last eight months.

Based on Judd’s estimate, the totals would indicate that an illegal alien population nearly TWICE the size of Vermont’s has entered the U.S. since Biden took office.
