Devastating government report reveals how the Biden administration is making it 'easier' for 'dangerous' migrants to get into the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security needs a complete overhaul on how it vets immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to address national security concerns, a new report from the Inspector General admits.
A redacted version of the June 7 report was released this week and claims failures in the system are making it easier for 'dangerous' non-citizens to get into the country.
The report completely obliterates President Joe Biden's policies toward immigration and migration while claiming agents protecting the nation's borders are not given the appropriate tools to vet asylum seekers.
It comes amid a raging illegal immigration crisis at the southern border and a failure by the Biden administration to implement policies that would quell the number of migrant crossing every day.
Just this month – after three-and-a-half-years of pressure from Republicans – Biden announced an executive order that would cap the number of asylum seekers at the border when it reaches 2,500 per day.
The Office of the Inspector General released a report this week that claims the Department of Homeland Security 'Needs to Improve Its Screening and Vetting of Asylum Seekers and Noncitizens' seeking to enter the U.S.
Republicans immediately said the order was a last-ditch effort by the White House to make it seem like the president is addressing the crisis despite taking dozens of actions beforehand that they claim undermined national security and exacerbated the flow of migrants into Texas, Arizona, California, New Mexico, Florida and other southern states.
'Until the Department addresses these challenges, DHS will remain at risk of admitting dangerous persons into the country or enabling asylum seekers who may pose significant threats to public safety and national security to continue to reside in the United States,' the report claims.
Just before the report was released, concerns were already rising over the number of dangerous people making it over the southern border after eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were busted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. The individuals were arrested in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
DHS, led by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, responded to the report by agreeing with all five recommendations the Office of Inspector General laid out to begin efforts to fix the issues.
Recommendations include fixing the issue that restricts what data CBP agents can access.
Other recommendations for remediation include developing new policies for checking names of migrants; updating technology and automating security checks for asylum applicants; and overhauling screening requirements for certain individuals like those who received delayed adjudications and might require monitoring and rescreening.
With just five months until the 2024 presidential elections, many polls maintain that immigration and border security is at the top of voters' minds heading into November. It many times is listed as the second highest concern among voters – only beaten out by the economy and inflation.

The concerning 35-page report, titled 'DHS Needs to Improve Its Screening and Vetting of Asylum Seekers and Noncitizens Applying for Admission into the United States,' claims that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents cannot access complete data essential to screening and vetting those who seek entry in the U.S.
It admits that DHS has not been effectively screening – and unable to accurately vet – non-citizens and asylum seekers as they enter the country.
Agents are therefore forced under Biden's policies to admit these migrants into the country despite being left without capabilities to effectively vet non-citizens.
This, the inspector general report claims, leads to a gap in national security that could result in allowing in dangerous individuals.
