Immigration’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’: Biden’s new DHS Policy makes illegal activity ‘irrelevant’
The Homeland Security Department’s citizenship agency has admitted a new policy makes illegal immigration behavior for those trying to enter and reenter the United states “irrelevant.” The Washington Times reports “making it back into the U.S. after being ousted is ‘irrelevant’ to an illegal immigrant’s eligibility to apply for a new legal status, the Homeland Security Department’s citizenship agency says in a new policy.”
Until now, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) would have denied the application “under a law that required onetime illegal immigrants to wait outside the country for up to 10 years before they would be eligible to apply to come back legally.”
“This is like the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell” said Emilio Gonzalez, who ran USCIS during the George W. Bush administration. “We won’t ask you where you’ve been during your inadmissible period, and you don’t tell us.’ It’s sheer craziness.”
“Sheer craziness” indeed. World Net Daily explains:
Previously, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would have denied any application for legal status under the so-called three-year/10-year rule. That meant that anyone without legal status for at least six months but less than a year had to depart and wait three years before applying to come back legally. Anyone in the country illegally for more than a year had to wait 10 years.
The new DHS policy literally spells out the complete dismissal of laws and regulations: “Noncitizen’s location during the statutory 3-year or 10-year period and the noncitizen’s manner of return to the United States during the statutory 3-year or 10-year period are irrelevant for purposes of determining inadmissibility.”

FL authorities seize boat carrying Haitian illegals, guns and drugs; on high alert after mass prison break
Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis announced Friday that authorities have seized a vessel off the coast that was carrying Haitian illegals, guns, and drugs. “Our Florida Fish and Wildlife offices interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat. In their vessel they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks,” the governor said, reported by Fox News.
“That vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation,” DeSantis added. The Sebastian Inlet is a narrow waterway north of Vero Beach that links the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon.
Just The News notes Haiti’s recent unrest:
Haitian gangs staged a mass prison break and freed roughly 3,700 inmates. Prime Minister Ariel Henry subsequently resigned and the chaos has prompted concerns of a surge in maritime attempts at entry into the U.S.
DeSantis ordered the deployment of more than 250 personnel to the southern coast of Florida ahead of the expect surge in attempted Haitian entries last week. In January of last year, DeSantis activated the National Guard to aid federal authorities in responding to a surge in arrivals to the Florida Keys from Cuba, Haiti, and other Caribbean nations.
