Whatever the true reason behind the Biden Administration’s decision to import millions of illegal aliens into America, they seem deeply intent on carrying it out despite widespread opposition from American citizens, even working overtime on it, right to the bitter end.
The Biden-Harris administration has authorized massive overtime so Department of Homeland Security agents can grant temporary status to as many illegal immigrants as possible before a new president is inaugurated, a Homeland Security agent told The Daily Wire.
“Jason” — an alias given to the agent, who spoke to The Daily Wire on the condition of anonymity, said supervisors have told workers in recent weeks that they should aim to clear the backlog of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applications within 120 days. Doing so would allow these illegal immigrants to live and work in the country, and shield them from deportation for two years. The department is offering 30 hours of overtime per pay period to expedite processing of the immigrants, who come from countries including Haiti, Venezuela, and Lebanon.
The Department of Homeland Security would not confirm or deny the allegation, or explain its motives. But the unprecedented number of TPS applicants — and the mandate to process them quickly — has put pressure on agents to approve applicants rather than investigate them further or deny them, Jason said.
“It’s much easier to approve a case than to deny a case,” he told The Daily Wire. “Denying it comes with a lot of writing and approvals from supervisors.”
The Biden administration insists that those approved for TPS status have been vetted. But Jason said vetting is really just box checking — literally. Jason said he wakes up in the morning, shuffles into his living room, and begins clicking buttons to approve the migrants each day, sometimes working late into the night to accrue overtime hours.
“I just think the general public should know: I couldn’t tell you if the people we are approving are criminals or not, theres no way to know unless they admit to it,” he said. “The U.S. government isn’t calling up Haiti and saying is this person a criminal?”
Illegal immigrants who have been granted TPS are largely vetted by government agents who work from home, never talk to the applicants, and often simply check to see whether the applicant admitted to committing crimes. There is no opportunity to ask applicants follow-up questions, evaluate their mannerisms for suspicious activity, or hear a story first-hand to assess for credibility.
Snip.
According to DHS data covering the nine months between October 2023 and June 2024, 98% of processed applicants were approved, while only 2% were denied. Remaining pending were 344,000 cases, mostly from Venezuela.
TPS applicants must fill out Form I-821, which asks them if they have ever been arrested, and to provide their own court records showing the offense if so. It also has them check “yes” or “no” to 41 questions such as if they have ever committed “Any particularly serious crime committed either in our outside the United States”’; if they have ever “participated in the persecution of any person on account of race”; and if they are “now engaged in activities that could be reasonable grounds for concluding that you are a danger to the security of the United States.”
The form also asks if applicants are “now trafficking in any controlled substance,” whether they plan to “violate any law of the United States relating to espionage,” and if they have ever been involved in “killing any person.”
“I’ve never denied someone because they put yes on a criminal question,” Jason said. “They don’t do that.”
Bonus: “Last month, DHS said it plans to add some 11,000 illegal immigrants from Lebanon — the country from which Hezbollah has launched attacks on Israel — to the list.”
Did anyone ask the American people whether they wanted to import illegal aliens from Lebanon into their communities? (Hat tip: Director Blue.)
But it’s not just DHS that’s involved in importing illegal aliens into America, it’s also the State Department.
The Center for Immigration Studies recently hosted a panel discussion on components of border security that are often overlooked: those carried out by the State Department.
Philip Linderman, a retired State Department senior foreign service officer, explained that most people focus on the role of the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when discussing border security yet overlook other border security components that require action from the State Department.
Linderman also explained that several offices under the State Department’s control are involved in developing and implementing immigration policy, including the Bureau of Consular Affairs and the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
He said that a new president must install a new secretary of the State Department that aligns with his goals.
Snip.
“It’s just astounding that the State Department administers these visa programs really without much accountability whatsoever for our quality control or analysis to see whether they’re doing a good job,” explained Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at CIS and a panelist in the discussion.
President Trump will have to make a lot of key personnel decisions correctly to restore border enforcement in his second term…

How this is NOT dereliction of duty and a whole laundry list of other High Crimes I don’t rightly know. I guess the law is whatever the enforcers say it is.
Keep your powder dry friends.
The people enabling this need to be deported right along with the illegals when the time comes. Let them make themselves new lives among the people they love over their fellow citizens.
At a minimum, they need to lose the right to vote.
“[T]hey seem deeply intent on carrying it out despite widespread opposition from American citizens, even working overtime on it, right to the bitter end.”
At the risk of violating Godwin’s Law, this fanatical commitment to a lost cause in the face of looming defeat resembles the Third Reich in 1945. Defeat was imminent but the death camp machinery continued even as hostile forces converged from two fronts.
It is better to annihilate all that is Good and True rather than have your enemies enjoy the spoils of war.
What is to keep President trump from immediately terminating the status of everyone who’s received TPS during the Biden Admin?
And also ending ALL the gov’t benefits going to illegals brought in by the Biden Admin? No food stamps. No housing vouchers. No work authorization.
Announce day after the election that all that is going away the day he’s inaugurated. That employers better start firing aliens and replacing them with American workers, because they’ll be facing fines and deportation of any key alien employees the day Trump gets in. Tell landlords they’d better find new tenants, because the vouchers end on Jan 20.
Trump didn’t have to deport people at the start of his first term, because they self deported. Deportations absolutely should take place, but there’s nothing work with getting teh self deportations going, too
Other thing Trump should announce the day after the election:
Every single TPS approval will be examined, and people will be fired for having cleared aliens wrongly.
It doesn’t matter what the current supervisors want, when everyone knows there will be new supervisors in two and a half months
Always make sure you put a cover sheet on your TPS reports:

Trump’s first EO should be to reverse all expedited temporary status findings done within the previous 4 years. The second EO should deport every single person who entered illegally, regardless of whatever the Biden administration allowed.
The fact that the Democrat government is now stashing illegals away like a squirrel stuffing its cheeks full of nuts for the winter is a further indication that they strongly suspect Trump is going to win.
