Biden Admin Removes The Phrase 'Lawful Immigration,' and 'Protecting Americans' from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Mission Statement
Townhall ^ | 02/09/2022 | Spencer Brown

It's no secret that the Biden administration has failed to address the illegal immigration crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, and at every turn has taken what seems to be the worst action available to them. Rather than addressing the border crisis, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) changed their mission statement on Wednesday to seemingly institutionalize Joe Biden's open-borders agenda by removing mention of "lawful immigration," "protecting Americans," or "securing the homeland."  

As of today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has a new mission statement. Under Biden, USCIS removed mention of "lawful immigration," "protecting Americans," or "securing the homeland" and now simply "...upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome..." pic.twitter.com/flN0NPr4Q7— Spencer Brown (@itsSpencerBrown) February 9, 2022

According to an archived version of the USCIS core values page, its old mission read:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.

But as of Wednesday morning, the page was updated with its new, Biden-ized mission statement, and the agency's director tweeted out what the administration seems to think is a good idea and use of government resources and manpower. 

Today @USCIS announced a new mission statement - one that reflects the inclusive character of both our country and USCIS. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/2FccEa9p3F— Ur M. Jaddou (@USCISDirector) February 9, 2022

We will serve the public with respect and fairness, and lead with integrity. This reflects America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility today and for generations to come. (2/2)— Ur M. Jaddou (@USCISDirector) February 9, 2022

"This new mission statement reflects the inclusive character of both our country and this agency," claimed USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. "USCIS is committed to ensuring that the immigration system we administer is accessible and humane," she added — without mentioning anything about being committed to ensuring America's immigration system is legal or just. 

According to USCIS, their repositioning is "a reflection" of the Biden administration's priorities, which is unsurprising given Biden's avoidance of action to stop illegal immigration or enforce America's sovereignty. His administration stopped construction of the border wall, indulged a hoax and limited the ability of border agents to patrol vast swaths of the border, monopolized agents' time with processing and transporting illegal immigrants, and changed policies to avoid deporting many criminals who are in the U.S. illegally. 

Regardless of whether updating their mission statement was an attempt to look busy while doing nothing to actually improve legal immigration or a blatant attempt at institutionalized leniency toward illegal immigration, USCIS' mission change is just another example of how misguided the Biden administration and Democrats' handling of immigration has become.

I’ll bet every dollar I have that the gutless, useless, enabling POS Repukelicans are cranking up the typewriter for another sternly-worded letter in response...

Fortunately the Customs and Border Patrol still has the following as their mission statement,

MISSION STATEMENT

“Protect the American people, safeguard our borders, and enhance the nation’s economic prosperity.”

Under Mission Priorities,

“Secure the Border – Protect the Homeland through the air, land and maritime environments against illegal entry, illicit activity or other threats to uphold national sovereignty and promote national and economic security.”

Since these illegal people are allowed to come to USA without passport, means US citizens do not need a passport to travel anywhere.

Doesn’t work that way, other countries still uphold their laws.

“It’s no secret that the Biden administration has failed to address the illegal immigration crisis ...”

They didn’t fail. They purposefully kept the spigot wide open.

The change in mission statement isn’t a big deal.

Remember the cartoonist that had a mission statement generator on his website? They probably used that.

A year from now, open border FReepers will say that the mission statement wasn’t rewritten, it’s always been the way it is, just like pro-Poke FReepers insist that the CDC didn’t redefine “vaccine”.

Mission Statement is null, and void; US Law set by congress makes this Dumb-F*<K$ “man-dates” (Biden’s Kingdom doesn’t exist to issue mandates) un-Lawful and fails to be in compliance with US Laws.
