An immigration judge has denied asylum to the family of young Ecuadoran national Liam Conejo Ramos, the boy photographed in a bunny hat as he was detained with his father by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis.
The case highlights everything wrong with the Biden administration’s policy of treating all illegal entrants as “asylum-seekers.”
Even under Trump II, the US has the most generous immigration system in the world.
An average of 1 million-plus immigrants receive green cards each year, allowing them to live here permanently and placing them on a path to citizenship.
And more than 130 million times per annum, aliens are admitted as “nonimmigrants” with permission to enter and stay temporarily as tourists, students, shoppers and for business.
For the Biden administration, however, it wasn’t enough: To advance “equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity,” the Department of Homeland Security under impeached Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas opened the borders and welcomed nearly 8 million illegal aliens into the United States.
