Suddenly, they aren't so terrified of returning to their home countries anymore. And they are skipping their bogus asylum hearing cases left and right.
The most infuriating thing about the border surge is not simply the breach of the unguarded border, but the string of lies that premised it -- the fake claims of asylum of the illegal migrants, claiming to be persecuted and terrified of returning to their home countries, which as anyone with a lick of sense could surmise had no merit whatsoever.
It was obvious enough in the absence of crises around the world, in the country-shopping of the migrants for the best benefit packages which real refugees seeking any port in a storm would never do, in the payments to cartels, and in the fact that most asylum seekers came from full-blown democracies where they had the right to vote their governments out if there was a problem.
But none of that speaks quite like the behavior of migrants, responding to incentives handed to them from the Joe Biden side of the equation, where everyone who broke into the country was allowed to apply for asylum and offered a full-ride benefit package, including transport, hotels, work permits, free education, free medical care, free food, free Obamaphones, and free housing. All, that, plus 'coaching' by federally funded legal service NGOs, including Catholic Charities, for illegals, on how to successfully game the system in order to win their phony asylum cases, as some did.
We can see how fake it all was now in the second year of the Trump administration: The illegal border crossers are now skipping their asylum hearings. Asylum hearing skippings went from 4,000 a month in 2025 to 8,000 a month this year, according to the Center of Immigration Studies

Catholic Charities should be forced to escort them back home.
“Catholic Charities should be forced to escort them back home.”
Catholic Charities (and others) should pay back the money they were paid by the taxpayers for aiding the ‘refugees’.
Will their taxpayer funded legal representatives still be compensated for their skipped appearance?
Catholic Charities is about as Catholic as Joe Biden.
WUT?! Not following the rules? Pretty sure the catholic church helped some naughtZees near the end of WW eleven.
This makes the illegal alien freeloaders criminals. Time to put our anti-foreign invasion ICE warriors back to work deporting this foreign scum squatting in America on land stolen from Americans.
Support ICE and have an ICE day!
I know of one. She ‘withdrew’ her application when her lawyer advised it. The INS has been arresting people right there in the interview rooms. She’s back in the old country getting treatment for psycho stuff.
If Spencer Pratt gets elected in LA something tells me the illegals will scatter like roaches when the light comes on.
The sad thing about all this is, as we were bringing in legions of economic migrants under the guise of asylum, you had the “real” persecuted go unnoticed.
Case in point a few years ago (not sure about it today): Coptic Christians.
And what’s worse, is many of these people would integrate into society here.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil and where we put our emphasis with asylum often is fad/trend driven example, waves of folks claiming to be persecuted because they’re LGBTQIA.
No friggin common sense.

Thank God.
What a bunch of junk.
I would guess (statistic pulled from rectum) that 90% of these folks were frauds to varying degrees.
That was the “we all know it was a lie” by Mayorkas and BeijingBiden. Issuing summonses to criminals and expecting them to actually show up.
Wouldn’t an asylum hearing constitute the vaunted ‘due process’ that I keep hearing about?

Yes,
If you have a bad asylum claim, and you think you would loose at the hearing, then it makes sense to skip it.
Either just return back home, or go full illegal, hoping they will not find you.
Those people may be trespassers, but not dummies.
Criminals seeking asylum
99.99%
he won’t, but they would have
the democrat cheat machine works to well in CA.
