It’s no secret that our asylum system, like everything else “immigration-related,” has been a complete and utter joke.

The entire dog and pony show has been treated like a Magic 8-Ball at the southern border. Say the right words, shake the ball, and get into the country; file a claim and settle into other people’s neighborhoods while the courts crawl along at a snail’s pace. What’s supposed to be a system to protect people facing actual persecution became one of the biggest backdoor clown shows in our nation’s history.

The good news is that President Trump is now shutting down the circus… and the news from the big top is looking good for America.

We now know just how bad the housing and inflation damage has been, thanks to the Biden invasion.

Morse Report:

🚨 Federal Reserve Confirms that Biden’s Illegal Immigration Surge Drove Home Prices Up 30%

The Federal Reserve quietly acknowledged that the massive influx of illegal aliens under Biden dramatically increased housing demand, pushing prices up 30% and devastating affordability for citizens. President Trump has rightly blocked taxpayer-funded mortgages and assistance for illegals.

But better times are coming…

According to a remarkable X thread, up to 95 percent of asylum cases are now ending in denial. Even in Detroit, of all places, approvals have reportedly fallen to just 2 percent. Deportation is now becoming the expected outcome, and the old game of waiting out the system is getting way harder to play.

These numbers tell the America First story better than any press conference ever could. Removal orders are soaring, and a record number of migrants are either saying, “Screw it,” and abandoning their cases or they’re failing to appear for their hearings. Meanwhile, the Trump DOJ and DHS are plugging the loopholes that allowed weak, baseless claims to linger for a zillion years.

Prowler:

U.S. immigration courts are granting near-zero relief to illegal aliens under Trump. Up to 95% of asylum cases now end in denial. Even in Detroit, approvals have fallen to 2%.

Detained or not, deportation has become the default outcome of illegal immigration.

Where judges once granted amnesty by hundreds of thousands, they now order millions to go back.

The BIA, which sets the standard, supports it: “In almost all rulings by the board of immigration appeals, the answer was removal.” since Trump took office.

Summary of immigration courts lately: Asylum & bond eligibility is so narrow that a record number of aliens are giving up their cases—opting for voluntary departure—or missing their hearings, facing removal.

With judges seeing bigger dockets, we’re getting faster deportations.

The Trump DOJ and DHS have been coordinating a change in policy to introduce integrity to the immigration court system by pulling back every soft amnesty loophole. The hiring of even more judges and help of state officials should further boost our efforts.

Raise your hand if you voted for this.

Now, thanks to Team Trump, we have more judges, tighter standards, and way fewer of these soft exceptions so cases can move faster. The entire calculation is changing, and we can’t talk about this victory without mentioning the recent Supreme Court ruling that gave the Trump admin more room to keep the asylum circus under control.

On June 25th, the Supreme Court handed Trump a major victory in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado. They ruled that federal immigration law doesn’t require the US government to process asylum claims from migrants who are outside the United States.

Of course, right on cue, the left is calling this the worst catastrophe to ever happen in the US.

American Immigration Council:

The Supreme Court ruled today that the Trump administration could turn back asylum seekers at ports of entry along the southern border, and that doing so does not violate federal immigration law. The case, Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, addressed a now-defunct policy, under which immigration officers at official border crossings physically and indefinitely blocked people seeking safety from setting foot on U.S. soil, flouting the government’s legal responsibility to inspect and process those seeking asylum. As Justice Sotomayor explained in a dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, the Court’s decision “blesses the Executive Branch’s decision to slam the door shut on all who are fleeing persecution, despite the detailed inspection and asylum system that Congress enacted and commands.”

This afternoon immigrant rights advocates will gather for a virtual media briefing at 3:00 pm ET/12:00 pm PT to discuss the decision.

“We believe that today’s ruling violates international law, as well as the express intent of Congress, which enshrined the rights and obligations of the Refugee Convention into U.S. federal law over 40 years ago. For decades, the United States has allowed individuals and families who are fleeing persecution, torture, and death to ask for protection at U.S. borders and exercise their legal right to seek asylum,” said Erika Pinheiro, Al Otro Lado’s Executive Director. “This decision has destroyed the United States’ position as a global leader in promoting the rights of refugees and threatens to serve as a dangerous justification for other countries that unlawfully prevent refugees from crossing borders in search of safety. In a world of increasing conflict and climate disaster, this hardening of borders to keep out the most vulnerable is sure to result in many more lives lost.”

The turnback policy, euphemistically dubbed “metering” by government officials, broke with both international and federal asylum law. It denied thousands the right to seek asylum, forcing them to languish in hazardous conditions in Mexico or return to the peril they had fled.

Immigration activists seem to believe they, not the executive branch, should be setting the nation’s immigration policy.

Basically, this ruling told Team Trump they don’t have to open the castle gates on demand.

But with this blow, the left has already moved on to its next legal fight.

Activist groups are now going to war over another part of the system: work permits.

The latest lawsuit challenges the administration’s removal of a rule requiring USCIS to process an asylum applicant’s initial work permit within 30 days. Since asylum seekers must already wait 150 days before applying, activists say that removing the additional deadline could leave migrants waiting indefinitely.

Politico:

As the Supreme Court issued monumental decisions in recent weeks on birthright citizenship and the Trump administration’s ability to end temporary protected status, advocates discovered a quieter shift in the immigration landscape.

The advocacy group leading the legal fight against the Trump administration’s new $100 fee on asylum seekers was combing through an interim final rule from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services last week when they caught an apparent change to the administration’s asylum policy. The Trump administration deleted the requirement that the government process asylum seekers’ initial work permits within 30 days, allowing immigrants to legally work for U.S. employers while their asylum applications are pending.

The Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, a membership organization that serves asylum seekers in the U.S., found the change only when running a line-by-line comparison of the rule and existing regulations. The group rushed to issue a final public comment and file a new lawsuit against the administration in response.

The lawsuit, in part, challenges the fact that the change “didn’t go through notice and comment … furthermore, the public would not even have ever known that this provision was in there,” said CONCHITA CRUZ, the co-founder and co-executive director of ASAP. “It is a long standing provision, and it’s been the subject of litigation many times. The government knows it’s a really big deal — that immigrants, employers, and others really care about it.”

USCIS spokesperson ZACH KAHLER called the ASAP lawsuit “frivolous” and said it is “being brought by the open border left.”

“This baseless lawsuit seeks to undermine the president’s lawful authority over immigration. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is faithfully implementing the law as enacted by Congress,” Kahler said. “The agency’s actions are consistent with congressional intent and statutory requirements.”

The apparent change could be major for asylum seekers. Asylum applicants already have to wait 150 days after their application is submitted to apply for a work permit. Once that period is up, USCIS is supposed to process the initial permit within 30 days.

So, there you have it, folks. When the path to asylum disappears, the next battle becomes access to jobs. This way, they can become economically rooted in the country while all these claims remain unresolved. This will give illegals another loophole to try and weasel through.

But thankfully, as we said earlier, Trump’s team is doing all they can to plug the holes. They don’t want the illegals even taking the gamble. And for the first time in decades, the message from the border to the courtroom is crystal clear: America’s immigration laws will actually be enforced.
