Yep, Biden Did Little To Remove Aliens Staying Past Checkout Time

By Drew Hayes

When you stay at a hotel, you plan to be out at the posted checkout time, or expect to a) pay or b) have your stuff tossed out on the side walk. Hotels use smart door locks to lock you out if you overstay by even a minute–and some hotels will charge you for another whole day. When it comes to aliens overstaying their visas–the USA was Hotel Biden, and they did nearly nothing to kick you out. The DHS just released some telling stats.

A DHS press release says: Out of more than 100,000 aliens who were identified as potential national security threats over the course of four years, the Biden Administration arrested only eight.

Here is more detail directly from DHS:

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after a report by the DHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG) revealed just how little action the Biden Administration took in dealing with aliens who illegally overstayed their authorized periods in the country, allowing national security risks to remain in the United States.

The report, which encompasses Fiscal Years 2021 through 2024, reveals that under Joe Biden, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) received 3,145,375 leads about possible alien overstays. Of that amount, 104,049 (approximately 3.3%) were categorized as potential national security and public safety concerns.

But of the leads for possible national security threats, only 496 investigations were launched, resulting in the arrest of just eight aliens. The remaining 3,041,326 overstay leads (96.7%) were determined to be “Non-Priority.” Of the 2,837,188 Non-Priority leads that were sent to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), only five leads were investigated after being determined to be possible public safety threats, and with only two arrests being made.

For aliens here under Biden, it was like a bad take on the Eagles’ hit Hotel California. You can checkout anytime you like and you NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE.
