DHS Reveals Truth on ‘Lawless’ Migrant Caravan — Numbers Show Whopping Percentage Ineligible for Asylum

While some claim those part of the migrant caravan at the U.S.-Mexico border are seeking asylum in the United States, others flip that narrative, saying some of the Central Americans haven’t articulated the need for asylum.

The Department of Homeland Security revealed the truth behind the “lawless migrant caravan” who “violently attempted to storm our Southern border, attack our border agents and illegally enter the United States.”

DHS spokesperson Katie Waldman shared with IJR what makes one eligible for asylum and the tiny percentage a judge deems eligible — also shining a light on how many immigrants claim asylum but then disappear into the United States.

Waldman made it clear that “greater economic opportunity or family reunification are not grounds for claiming asylum.”

As Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen previously shared in a statement, a majority of those in the caravan are not truly eligible for asylum.

“The overwhelming majority of these individuals are not eligible for asylum in the United States under our laws.”

Waldman explained how a person is eligible for asylum only if the “foreign national has suffered, or has a well-founded fear that they will suffer, persecution due to: Race, Religion, Nationality, Membership in a particular social group, or Political opinion.”

“Simply wanting to get a job or connect with family in the U.S. does not make one eligible for asylum,” Waldman said, adding that immigrants may take another path of applying for a visa program.

She stated that the Mexican government hasn’t offered the immigrants asylum, however, some have been offered jobs in Mexico — with most of them turning down the offer.

The legal loopholes in the U.S. laws are encouraging immigrants to “claim credible fear” at the border, “knowing they will be promptly released into the interior with work permits pending the determination of their full claim.”

Statistics revealed by the DHS show that 65 percent of those at the border seeking asylum are Central Americans, with 89 percent passing their initial interview.

Then, the shocking statistic reveals the truth.

Only 31 percent of those immigrants return for their hearing and 40 percent don’t file an application following the first interview.

“Only 9 percent of Northern Triangle petitioners are found eligible for asylum by a judge – leaving 91 percent ineligible for asylum.”

Many of those 91 percent of immigrants disappear into the U.S. to live and work illegally after they had promised to show up for their hearing.

“In FY17, only 1 percent of the 226,119 removals conducted by ICE were on Alternatives to Detention,” according to the DHS.

Waldman laid down the fact that only nine percent of asylum seekers are found eligible, which is expending limited resources, such as court space and asylum officers’ time, detention space, and immigration judges.

“If these people – the 91 percent who are not eligible – did not insist, based on bad legal advice as part of an open borders advocacy group strategy of flooding the asylum system devoted to ‘breaking’ our legal immigration system, we would have more than a sufficient number of resources to fulfill our international and moral humanitarian obligations in a far more timely manner.”

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
