1,350% jump in deportation orders for sham asylum claims by illegal immigrants

A majority of immigrants seeking asylum in the United States by claiming “credible fear” back home do not actually file for it once they are released into the country, resulting in a massive effort to find and deport them, according to the Trump administration.

Earlier this year, for example, Justice Department data provided to Secrets showed that 56 percent of recent immigrants who made "credible fear" claims had not taken the next step to file for asylum, raising doubts about their initial claim.

And it’s not a new issue: 65 percent of pending cases that originated from credible fear have not resulted in an asylum application, and since since 2006, 53 percent never filed an asylum application.



New immigrants “gamed” the system so much during the Obama era, according to new data, that there has been a 1,350 percent increase in deportation orders from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2017 for those let into the United States after claiming “credible fear” but who never followed through or whose claims were rejected.

The statistics are the latest evidence that claiming asylum during the lenient Obama era was seen as a free pass into the United States.

“These figures show clearly that most of those who crossed illegally to take advantage of the lenient Obama policies had no intention of actually applying for asylum – an astonishing 65 percent of the border asylum cases now pending never even bothered to complete the asylum application. Why would they? They got what they wanted, which was to be allowed into the United States,” said immigration expert Jessica M. Vaughan, the director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies.

She added, “It’s clear that the Obama policies created an irresistible magnet for Central Americans and others around the world to cross our border illegally, say the magic word ‘asylum,’ and the immigration bureaucracy would be told to look the other way.”
From 2012 to 2017, for example, asylum claims from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, increased from 8,519 to 76,023, up 892 percent. Those countries are the source of the current "crisis" on the border.

Typically the claims are made by immigrants pouring through established border crossing areas.

But the data from Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review showed a huge surge in those crossing the U.S. border illegally also trying to claim asylum.

The data shows that in some cases only about one third eventually are granted asylum, forcing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to then track down those denied but who are still in the U.S.

Experts said that if conditions were so bad, it makes sense for those fleeing to choose refuge in a country closer than the United States. "It seems to me that if they were really afraid for their lives they would ask for asylum in Mexico, Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, or other places that are a lot closer," Vaughan said.


“Now," she added, "ICE is in the difficult position of having to clean up this mess by tracking down and removing these tens of thousands of families and kids who never should have been allowed in to begin with.”

Looks like 311,000 of them, since 2010.
