r**********f 发帖数: 2808 | 1 The vast majority of illegal immigrants the Border Patrol apprehends are
released into the U.S., the head of the agents’ union testified before a
Senate panel Thursday.
“We’re releasing basically everybody as long as you’re not from the
country of Mexico. And even if you’re from the country of Mexico and you
claim that you have a credible fear and you’re asking for asylum for one
reason or another — we’re still releasing those individuals,” Brandon
Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, said before the
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest.
He added, “If I were to guess, I would say that at least 80 percent of the
individuals that the United States Border Patrol arrests at the border
qualify for this catch and release program and in essence we are just
letting them come into the United States.”
Earlier in the hearing Judd described the administration’s policy of
releasing illegal immigrants apprehended at the border into the U.S., in
some cases with a notice to appear and in other cases — if they claim to
have been in the U.S. since before 2014 — without additional paperwork.
“If you are an unaccompanied minor we will not only release you, but will
escort you to your final destination. If you are a family unit, we will
release you. If you claim credible fear, we will release you. If you are a
single male and we do not physically see you cross the border and you claim
that you have been in this country since 2014, we will release you,” he
detailed.
