President Joe Biden’s radical appointee to the Justice Department’s civil rights division is smashing another legal hole in the nation’s immigration law with a June 16 decision offering citizenship to migrants who claim they are fleeing spousal abuse or local crime.
The decision was announced by the radical chief of the civil regulation division, Vanita Gupta, and it revives discarded asylum-expanding rulings by President Barack Obama’s appointees to the department-run immigration courts.
President Donald Trump’s deputies had discarded the Obama-era expansions, known as Matter of A.B. and Matter of L.E.A.
“Today’s decision will lead to tens of thousands of meritless asylum claims—if not hundreds of thousands—in the months and years ahead,” said a statement from Gene Hamilton, the vice president at the America First Legal nonprofit law firm and a former top official in President Donald Trump’s justice department.
Hamilton’s statement said:
Generalized crime in other countries has never been a legitimate basis for asylum under the laws passed by Congress—despite the best efforts of advocates and radicals during the Obama Administration to provide otherwise … This, of course, is part of a bigger plan under the Biden Administration that involves the Department of Homeland Security granting asylum en masse along the border to anyone who comes from a country with higher general crime rates than the United States. The Biden Administration will deport roughly zero percent of those who do not qualify for asylum, these new meritless cases will lead to delayed relief for legitimate asylees, and these radical decisions will ensure open borders for as long as they remain in effect. The American people deserve better.

“Ok sir, relax, you’ll be on the next plane to either a red state or swing state by tomorrow.”
So Biden will offer citizenship to Julien Assange?
Asylum is all ready available.
Goodbye America, it was fun
This tule opens the door to give citizenship to the entire world.
These people are turning the country into a real life version of The Hunger Games…..DC aka Panem
Also, can a government agency do that without going to Congress firs?
> ...offering citizenship to migrants who claim they are fleeing spousal abuse or local crime. <
Well, then that’s everybody. Because there is “local crime” everywhere.
And for something completely different. Here’s a quote from Bernie Sanders (of all people):
“If you open the borders, my G_d, there’s a lot of poverty in this world, and you’re going to have people from all over the world,” he continued. “I don’t think that’s something that we can do at this point. Can’t do it. So that is not my position.”

So there will be millions now coming in claiming to be victims of crime. Obviously, the evil lurkers in the shadows in the White House intend to destroy the country before another definitive election can rescue it.
I know I am being naive, but isn’t Congress the body that controls immigration?
And will there be a court challenge to this directive? By Congress, governors?
Biden is responsible for his actions.

*************
Of course. The Deep State bureaucracy now runs the country.
Congress is more than happy to take the burden of governing and passing laws off on someone else so they can focus their energies on self-aggrandizing corruption.
You get US citizenship! You get US citizenship! Everyone gets US citizenship!
So there will be millions now coming in claiming to be victims of crime.
*************
Kind of negates our borders, or any attempts to control them.
All done by a simple directive.
If we don’t shrink this massive, overbearing government we are done for. It is running over everything.
We should only vote for people who are totally committed to downsizing the government and limiting its powers. If we can’t do this there is no hope of saving the country from the encroaching abuses and massive corruption of big government.
Who is going to stop them? Certainly not the GOPe assistant Democrats.
That is very true.
A version of this idea has been in effect in the USA for at least 5 years.
Immigrant women who marry a USA citizen and then claim abuse immediately get a Green Card.
They do not even have to prove their claim.
Just make the accusation - BOOM - they instantly become legal permanent residents.
The duped husbands have no recourse - the abuse claim becomes part of the public record, and in most cases, the record is permanent.
This incredibly destructive Green Card scam happens hundreds of times every year.
Just no!!!
“We should only vote for people who are totally committed to downsizing the government and limiting its powers.”
NO. We should only vote for people who are totally committed to saving the nation. We don’t have the luxury anymore of picking and choosing candidates based on policy quirks.
Half of the world will be declared “abused” and made citizens.
We’re screwed beyond redemption.
Is the pope a Marxist?
I never knew citizenship could be bestowed. I thought it had to be earned by being a permanent resident for five years, then studying and taking an examination. That is, after being vetted both for morals and finances. No one could receive citizenship who would be a burden on the taxpayer. What happened??
