'100%' of illegal immigrant families being released into U.S., Homeland Security says
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 23, 2019
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Thursday that “100%†of illegal-immigrant families in the new border surge are being released into communities, rather than being held and deported.
He said within a month or two, they are also granted work permits, giving them a foothold to live and remain in the U.S. while their cases proceed through the immigration courts — a process that averages two years, and stretches even longer in some overwhelmed regions.
Mr. McAleenan said that system, rewarding unauthorized migrants who jump the border with exactly the thing they seek, is responsible for the record-breaking numbers.
