CBP Releasing 95.8 Percent of 'Inadmissible Aliens' Into the United States

The Biden administration's Department of Homeland Security, specifically Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has "utterly abused" the "CBP One" app used by illegal immigrants to continue releasing a staggering number of "inadmissible aliens" into the United States with a "notice to appear" for adjudication in the future.

This revelation comes courtesy of the House Homeland Security Committee and its repeated attempts to break through stonewalling from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas which were finally successful this week in obtaining the data on how CBP One app users are handled by the Biden administration.

The data and documentation finally obtained by House lawmakers covers the period from January 12, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and it shows that 95.8 percent of 278,431 "inadmissible aliens" who used — or were pre-booked by cartels through — the CBP One app to schedule appointments with border agents were released into the United States by the Biden administration. That is, 266,846 illegal immigrants who the Biden administration knows are considered "inadmissible" were released — admitted if you will — into the United States.

The documents show 278,431 appointments scheduled through the CBP One app between Jan. 12, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2023, with 266,846 inadmissible aliens released into the interior.

"Secretary Mayorkas has utterly abused the CBP One app in his quest for open borders," remarked Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN). "These numbers are proof that Mayorkas’ operation is a smokescreen for the mass release of individuals into this country who would otherwise have zero claim to be admitted," Green emphasized. "At a time when global tensions are rising, and our enemies are growing bolder, releasing tens of thousands of these people into our communities—especially when they have not received adequate, if any, vetting—is irresponsible. It shouldn’t take a subpoena threat from Congress to get these answers, but we are going to keep fighting for the truth," Green pledged.

Here's where some of the "inadmissible aliens" were from and how many the Biden administration released into the United States anyway after their appointments made via the CBP One app, according to the data obtained by the Homeland Security Committee:

97 percent of 57,381 Venezuelan national appointments
93 percent of 58,772 Mexican national appointments
94 percent of 20,948 Russian national appointments
96 percent of 20,776 Honduran national appointments
94 percent of 3,939 Guatemalan national appointments
82 percent of 2,279 Uzbek national appointments
98 percent of 801 Belarusian national appointments
93 percent of 246 Afghan national appointments
88 percent of 36 Chinese national appointments
88 percent of 18 Iranian national appointments

The Homeland Security Committee noted that the data it received from the Biden administration is "still under review to determine the extent of DHS’ compliance with the Committee’s comprehensive request."
