The very brief and election-motivated “crackdown” by the Biden/Harris administration on illegal aliens entering the country …
… has predictably ended.
Fancy that:
The Biden administration is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the US illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration crackdowns and mass deportations, sources tell The Post.
And the Big Apple will be ground zero for these changes.
The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.
Homeland Security sources tell The Post the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.
Even when it’s working correctly, the new app doesn’t check for past arrests or outstanding warrants — something the current system tied to in-person appointments does, sources said.
Up to 100,000 migrants will be enrolled in the first wave of the program, sources said.
I guess New York is being punished for not voting as blue as before.
There’s something to be said for shortening the period between elections and inaugurations.
‘There’s something to be said for shortening the period between elections and inaugurations’
Yes, something like December 10 or at the very latest the first Tuesday in January.
Maybe because it was all definitively decided on election night for the first time in a dozen years but the interval has seemed extremely long this time.
There’s something to be said for shortening the period between elections and inaugurations.
I mean, yeah. In the modern era the results are usually known before Thanksgiving. Certainly certification could happen by Dec 1st and an inauguration sometime in mid December. Despite certain states like Pennsylvania and Arizona evidently struggling with *counting* votes in anything like a timely manner. They would have us believe that their typical vote counter has trouble counting to 21 without taking off their shoes and pants.
As I’ve said before, it seems to me that what motivates Democrats (and Republicans sometimes too) is nothing more complicated than plain old spite. There’s no introspection, no “wow, what are we doing wrong that the voters did not support us,” just a giant middle finger thrust in the face of the American people.
I am so looking forward to mass deportations.
Transparency and sunlight.
The way to counteract something like this is for a major newspaper and/or website or three to begin publicizing lists of misdemeanor crimes and fines average New York citizens are getting prosecuted for. Redact the names (even though they are public information), but list some basic information; “35 year old, professional woman,” “Grandmother,” “Fireman,” “Port authority employee…” and list the crime and fine; “28 year old security guard living on Staten Island arrested for unpaid parking ticket. Fined $500.” “40 year old mother of three, car towed, fines = $250.”
List these on one side of the page and on the other side list all the crimes asylum seekers are not being prosecuted for, or are released for. Also show financial largesse they are receiving from the city in dollars and cents.
Make it very public and easy to understand that the tax paying citizens are being treated far worse, and are subject to more severe treatment from their civil servants than non-citizen, non-tax paying foreigners.
Rent a video billboard in Times Square. Make the citizenry aware.
Transparency and sunlight.
It will be much cheaper to ship would-be deportees to sanctuary cities like NYC and Denver than back to where they came from. If Denver wants Tren de Aragua, then by all means send them there.
Yeah, sure. Just abuse the US citizens living in places like Denver with more Tren de Aragua.
Sure.
They voted for it, they got it.
Rufus, that is a splendid idea. The list would probably have to be in small print after some time, like all those Legal Notices pages in Section H that make the eyes of non-lawyers glaze over.
Is this app something that the administration was going to implement anyway and the deadline for it has simply been moved up?
The open border has been a premeditated dereliction of duty by Biden/Harris/Mayorkas. Mayorkas was impeached. All of them should have been.
IMO, it’s a Cloward-Piven strategy. Completely overwhelm the system such that people will accept anything the government wants to do as long as they stop the crime and illegal aliens. We’re a long way from that now, but another four years of open borders and things would be much, much worse.
I’m hoping that Pam Bondi, as AG, will go after the charities (Rockefeller Foundation, Pueblas Sin Fronteras, etc.) that are funding a lot of the illegal movements. They are aiding and abetting the breaking of federal laws. Bokk ’em Pam!
Many hospitals are in trouble from all the illegals they’re having to serve at no cost. This could be a Democrat strategy to force a demand for universal healthcare. Remember Alinksy’s Eight Steps to topple a nation. Number one is:
“Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people.” I think the Dems are trying pretty hard to follow Alinsky. Any other explanation doesn’t make sense to me.
Tcrosse & Riichard Cook, versus Cicero:
I understand that crappy sanctuary cities and states are complicit!
But as Cicero implied, some or even most citizens in such places are NOT complicit, and NEVER voted to be “protective of illegal aliens”.
Those American patriots who want to preserve law & order should never be trivialized, nor neglected.

I agree! Actually with your entire comment except the “as long as” part. People are NOT able to demand a stop of crime, or a stop illegal aliens being dropped into towns.
I note re: lthe hospitals, especially smaller rural ones, have been decimated.
And schools everywhere are struggling!
The local residents are being victimized in every which way!
And there’s no remorse from the demons who have & are
orchestrating this widespread terror.
Many tears shed, many prayers sent.
I believe that most Americans have wanted secure borders for the last 25 years. The politicians, both GOP and Dems, have not delivered, except for Trump.
The total flouting of our immigration laws under Biden is something like treason.
Dax,*the total flouting of our immigration laws under Biden is something like treason.”
I think so too.
And so much bood is on their hands!
Such blatant dereliction of duty should at least be an indictable crime.
Not just something they walk away from.
Although I hate that we have come to this, I found that I was somewhat relieved to discover that our closest grocery store now has a guard (ostensibly) checking receipts at the door (they haven’t asked for anyone’s that I’ve noticed, so I’m sure that’s the pretext for tossing would-be shop-lifters), and banning large duffel-type bags that could be used for same.
I note that the state mandated bans on free plastic bags mean we all bring in our own random totes, which makes it much easier to slip out with things you haven’t paid for — the merchandise that was purchased and placed in company bags was much easier to visually verify.
I also went to a large department store for the first time since getting home this fall, and their guard was at the front door controlling the number of people who were in the building, probably to prevent flash-looter-mobs from developing.
So, long story short, not all of the suburbs of the Denver Metro are voting for their insane criminal-coddling & immigrant-enabling policies.
Joe Friday: “it seems to me that what motivates Democrats (and Republicans sometimes too) is nothing more complicated than plain old spite. There’s no introspection, no “wow, what are we doing wrong that the voters did not support us,” ”
I am reminded of a little vignette from just after the 2016 election. Joe Kennedy III attended a gathering of Democrats and said, “We need to understand why these former Democrats voted for Trump”.
And he was booed offstage.
It really shows I think that the problem had been gathering for years, long before Trump appeared. They were so convinced of their own righteousness they could not face the fact they may have been wrong about something. I believe it predates even Obama though of course he made it a lot worse. I used to be a liberal but not hard-left Democrat. I quit voting Dem because it was apparent the hard leftists had taken over the agenda, the few remaining moderates like Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller were driven out of the party. To regain relevance Democrats have to reject the hard leftists but that won’t be easy because the leftists will fiercely defend their turf.
