An internal memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon has shed light on the numerous exemptions present in Joe Biden's executive order aimed at limiting illegal crossings on the southern border. The memo, from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), reveals that the order contains provisions that allow migrants to enter the United States under the claim of seeking asylum.

The memo outlines the stated purpose of the executive order, which is to "significantly increase the consequences in place for noncitizens who cross irregularly." Its goal is to "decrease encounter rates at the southern border." However, despite efforts to clamp down on illegal crossings, the memo exposes several loopholes that migrants can exploit to gain entry into the United States.

According to the memo, any "noncitizen" may be allowed to enter under "urgent humanitarian" conditions. These conditions explicitly include asylum claims. Migrants who claim to have a fear of "acute medical emergency," "an imminent and extreme threat to life or safety," or who are victims of severe human trafficking are allowed entry into the country. The memo highlights that deportation officers stationed on the southern border are explicitly instructed not to determine whether noncitizens qualify for an exception to the limitation on asylum eligibility.

Even after a migrant is placed in expedited removal, they can still claim a "fear of return," as stated in the memo. Remarkably, the memo explains that these fears can be non-verbal, such as expressing, "I am afraid to go to (country)." Such claims grant temporary relief from immediate deportation.

To ensure that migrants are informed of their rights, immigration facilities operated by ICE are required to display visible signage in multiple languages. These signs inform non-citizens of how they can "claim a fear of return or an intention to seek asylum or related protection."

Joe Biden, who previously stated that he lacked the executive power to address the surge of illegal crossings on the southern border, cited the need to secure the border amid a worldwide migrant crisis in his announcement of the new policy. He emphasized that failure to do so would result in an unlimited number of people attempting to enter the United States. Since Joe Biden assumed office, law enforcement has recorded over eight million illegal border crossings.
