More than 30K ‘Credible Fear’ Claims Occurred at Southern Border in Last Months of 2017

More than 30,000 claims of “credible fear” by foreign nationals have occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border in the last three months of 2017 under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s watch.

According to DHS data, there were about 30,186 total cases of foreign nationals claiming credible fear and thus requesting asylum in the U.S. between October and December 2017 – at the same time that an amnesty for illegal aliens was being considered by Congress and President Trump’s administration.

Current U.S. immigration and asylum laws allow foreign nationals passing through Mexico to arrive at the southern border and claim credible fear. These asylum-seekers are often allowed to evade deportation and can even obtain work permits once in the U.S., as Breitbart Texas has reported.

More than 10,000 of those 30,000 total cases of credible fear occurred when foreign nationals arrived at the ports of entry at the southern border, while more than 20,000 of the cases occurred when foreign nationals sought asylum by crossing the border illegally. About 67 percent of credible fear claims are made by foreign nationals crossing illegally into the U.S.

The data reveals the extent to which the nation’s asylum laws have been used by foreign nationals to enter the U.S., just as DHS Secretary Nielsen begged asylum-seekers to use the ports of entry to come to the country, as Breitbart News reported.

DHS Secretary Nielsen Begs Asylum-Seekers: ‘Please Come to Ports of Entry,’ ‘You Haven’t Broken the Law’

“So if you have a claim, you have children, you’re concerned for your life, go to a port of entry. You’ll be processed. We have asylum laws,” Nielsen said during a congressional hearing. “But when you break the law, that’s where it gets very difficult because we have to prosecute those who break the law.”

In recent months, the southern border has been inundated with illegal immigration and Central American asylum-seekers who traveled with a caravan, taunting President Trump’s DHS along the way.

Border-crossings have continued to soar under Nielsen’s direction at DHS. For example, as Breitbart Texas reported, border-crossings in March approached Obama-era levels of illegal immigration at the border. Last month, border-crossings continued to increase, with nearly 40,000 illegal aliens crossing the border.

As Breitbart News reported, border-crossers entering the U.S. illegally have an 88 percent chance of evading immediate deportation by claiming credible fear in their native country. Only half of the foreign nationals who evade immediate deportation by claiming credible fear, however, end up filing for asylum status after they are released into the U.S.

No one should be allowed into the US on "asylum" claims. There is nothing going on in most of these countries if not all to warrant a legitimate "asylum" claim. Just stop letting them in. If the "International" community wants to make a big stink of it, tell them to take the "asylum-seekers". We're done being conned by low-life scum-bag con artist illegal aliens. We've had it, we're fed up with it.

If Congress won't repeal our eternally stupid asylum laws, then President Trump needs to issue an Emergency Executive Order banning all asylum claims for the next 3 years because of an overburdened system due to false and fraudulent claims. Period. No one gets in on an asylum claim and no one gets to stay waiting for an asylum hearing. Get them out and keep them out.

Simple as pie.

To give perspective to what 30,000 phony baloney asylum seekers means to the US ...my hometown in the Midwest has a population of 3,000 people that took it 175 years to reach and even it can't employ everyone who needs and wants a job at wages they can live on.

I'm sure their are One Billion people on the planet with "credible fear".

Too bad...we are not the dumping ground for the World.

Now shut it down ASAP!
