Even as President Joe Biden attempts to reassure the public that he is taking the ongoing border crisis very seriously, his administration is quietly continuing to use every presidential authority available to them to import mass numbers of migrants with virtually no screening process or safeguards in place. The corporate press, predictably, has run cover for Biden up every step of the way.
One representative recent example of the media’s intentional obfuscation of the true extent of Biden’s culpability in the immigration disaster gripping the nation is a March 6 Associated Press “fact check” article on Biden’s use of the presidential parole authority.
As the American Immigration Council explains, the president is allowed under a 1952 law to “parole” people into the country “on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” The Wall Street Journal reports that, with rare exceptions, such as after the fall of Saigon in 1975, the parole authority has historically been used only in “rare instances,” most often “to allow a foreign patient to quickly receive specialized medical treatment or to bring a foreign witness to a trial.”
But as former President Donald Trump warned in his Super Tuesday victory speech, Biden has used the parole authority more than any president in history to skirt U.S. immigration law and avoid the border entirely by simply flying in migrants.
“Today it was announced that 325,000 people were flown in from parts unknown – migrants were flown in airplanes, not going through borders… It was unbelievable,” Trump said. “They flew 325,000 migrants. Flew them in over the borders and into our country.”
The AP claims that these comments amounted to Trump “elevat[ing] false information that had gone viral on social media.”
But later in the very same piece, the AP explains that U.S. Customs and Border Protection are required to disclose how many people are admitted under the parole program. And, on Jan. 26, “the agency reported 327,000 were vetted and authorized for travel” and those migrants were then flown to undisclosed airports throughout the country.
In other words, Trump was exactly correct.
Moreover, the AP acknowledges toward the end of the piece that Biden “has exercised his parole authority far more than any of his predecessors.” Although final numbers for 2023 are not yet available, it is estimated that Biden paroled approximately 1.2 million migrants last year – right on the heels of paroling nearly 800,000 migrants in 2022.
For reference, Presidents Obama and Trump paroled just over 5,600 migrants per year on average. That means Biden has led a 35,700 percent increase in the use of parole authority.
While Republicans in Congress have rightly sought to limit or eliminate entirely the president’s parole authority, Democrats have steadfastly pushed back – no doubt recognizing that illegal border crossings would likely skyrocket even higher if Biden is unable to let migrants in through a legal back door. Disagreement over parole authority was one of the reasons a high-profile border bill collapsed earlier this year.
But abusing presidential parole authority isn’t the only way Biden is trying to pull a fast one on the American people when it comes to importing mass numbers of migrants.
As the Wall Street Journal has also reported, Biden has been “allowing approximately 1,500 migrants a day to enter the U.S. at legal entry points along the southern border, so long as they make appointments in advance using a government app called CBP One.”
Applicants are not screened in any way before making appointments on the app. If a migrant is selected for admission, he or she is allowed to remain in the country legally pending a court date – which can often be up to 10 years in the future.
The CBP One app was also supposed to be paired with higher penalties for migrants who didn’t follow a legal process to enter the country. But since the unprecedented flood of illegal border crossings and drug trafficking has stretched law enforcement past its limits, “the government hasn’t had the resources to enforce those higher penalties.”
Then, of course, there is the Biden administration’s continued egregious abuse of the asylum system. Under Biden’s policies, anyone who enters the country, even illegally, can claim asylum. They are then allowed to stay in the United States until their asylum hearing – again often scheduled years in the future.
This system represents a stark departure from Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, which required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico until their court date. In effect, the simple reclassification of millions of illegal aliens as “asylum seekers” allows the Biden administration to keep them here and avoid mass deportations.
The corporate media, of course, has not reported on the deceptive nature of any of these policies or made any effort to expose Biden’s blatant lies. Instead, they have dutifully repeated the president’s claims that he needs an act of Congress to secure the border – a border that he made unsecured in the first place via executive fiat.
As the recent tragic deaths of Laken Riley and Washington State Trooper Chris Gadd show, the consequences of Biden’s open borders extremism and the media’s attempts to shift blame anywhere but the White House are severe indeed.
Biden should be invited to a Haitian migrant Barbecue.
Fixed it.

This only shows that the lamestream fake news media is a propaganda machine for the demonrat party.
Intentionally laying the groundwork for full scale civil war.
Why does no one say it?
MSM is a BRANCH OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
BENSMAN: “After I exposed Biden’s shady migrant flight scheme, his media allies tried - and failed - to trash my report as conspiracy.”
Now, Congress is investigating the 320,000 new arrivals... so why DID Joe try to hide the truth?

A federal judge in Texas on Friday upheld a key piece of President Joe Biden’s immigration policy that allows a limited number of migrants from four countries to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds, dismissing a challenge from Republican-led states that said the program created an economic burden on them.
U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton ruled in favor of the humanitarian parole program that allows a total of 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela combined.

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a challenge from 21 states against a Biden administration program that allows 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. from four countries each month.
U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton ruled that Texas and 20 other Republican-led states didn’t have legal standing in the lawsuit because they didn’t demonstrate suffered financial harm from the federal program, the Associated Press reported.
The program lets a total of up to 30,000 asylum-seekers enter the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
“In reaching this conclusion, the Court does not address the lawfulness of the Program,” Tipton wrote in his ruling.
The states argued that the program forces them to spend millions of dollars on health care, education, and public safety for the asylum-seekers.
