WASHINGTON—The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has filed a public comment analyzing high-profile emergency reforms proposed by the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS). The reforms will curtail the disastrous practice of catching and then releasing the throngs of illegal aliens under 18 who have been flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking laying out these reforms has gotten a staggering number of comments. But out of more than 63,000 submissions, IRLI’s appears to be the only full legal analysis in support of the administration.
Since 2014, the illegal entry of hundreds of thousands of alien minors, primarily from the Central American “Northern Triangle†nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, has overwhelmed ports of entry and border patrol resources. These illegal aliens are arriving both in family units and as “unaccompanied alien minors,†or UACs.
