Biden Administration Confirms Plan to Give IDs to Illegal Immigrants To Advance the Cult Plan to Change the Demographics of America
President Joe Biden’s administration has confirmed a plan that would give identification cards to illegal immigrants.
The pilot program from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is aimed at modernizing “documentation provided to some noncitizens,” an ICE spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email on July 29.
“Currently, noncitizens receive paper documents from the federal government about their immigration status. Paper documents pose a security risk, are easily lost, and degrade rapidly in real-world use, creating inefficiencies for the government and noncitizens. Moving to a secure card will save the agency millions, free up resources, and ensure information is quickly accessible to DHS officials while reducing the agency’s FOIA backlog,” the spokesperson said.
“For provisionally released noncitizens, the digital modernization will provide ongoing access to important immigration documents through the secure card and connected portal.”
DHS is the Department of Homeland Security, ICE’s parent agency. FOIA refers to the Freedom of Information Act.
The program is being described as a concept, with specifics still being decided.
Illegal immigrants who cross the border are supposed to be deported or detained until they appear in court, but that’s increasingly not the case.
A recent ICE program, called Alternatives to Detention, colloquially known as “catch and release,” sees many immigrants released before having a hearing. Many, but not all, are given a Notice to Appear, or a notice to show up at court on a certain date.

Liz Truss faces Cabinet revolt on plans to loosen immigration rules for foreign workers – including the need to speak English – to help flailing economy as ministers warn the overall number of arrivals must continue to fall
Liz Truss is facing the first Cabinet revolt of her fledgling premiership over plans to ease immigration rules to help boost the economy.
Senior figures including Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg are believed to be unhappy at a possible relaxing of rules governing the shortage occupations list.
These are jobs where there is a particular lack of home-grown people to fill posts and the cap on numbers limiting arrivals to 30,000 to 40,000 people could be raised.
Other relaxations could include watering down the requirement to speak English to a certain proficiency, the Telegraph reported.
The numbers cap of 30,000 – 40,000 people could also be raised.
Ms Braverman s said to have joined Mr Rees-Mogg and International Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch in insisting net migration must fall, as per a Tory 2019 manifesto pledge.
A source told the Daily Telegraph: ‘The Home Secretary does not believe that reducing net migration needs to mean we go to lower growth. You can achieve both. You can solve the economic bottlenecks that need to have higher skills but at the same time bring down aggregate migration.’
However a Downing Street source insisted that the plan would involved ‘increasing numbers in some areas and decreasing in others’.
‘As the Prime Minister has made clear, we also want to see people who are economically inactive get back into work,’ they added.
Part-time workers will see their benefits cut unless they take steps to work longer hours, the Chancellor said last week.
Announcing his Growth Plan to the Commons, Mr Kwarteng said the Government would ask claimants to take active steps to seek more and better paid work.
Universal Credit claimants will have to regularly meet their work coach if they do not work at least 15 hours a week at the national living wage.
Increasing the threshold from 12 hours will bring an additional 120,000 benefit claimants into the Intensive Work Search Regime, the Treasury said.
The UK has more than 1.2million job vacancies, and the Chancellor warned that inactivity in the labour market is limiting economic growth.

Migrants hurl stones at French riot police in anger after officers slash and deflate dinghies being prepared for English Channel crossings
Migrants hurled stones at French riot police in anger after officers slashed and deflated dinghies being prepared for English Channel crossings this morning.
The group clashed with police in the village of Gravelines near Dunkirk after hundreds of migrants headed to the area on Friday.
Public officers from the French CRS – the general reserve of the French National Police – slashed and deflated at least two of the migrants’ rubber dinghies before they could launch, according to GB News.
Frustrated, migrants began to throw stones and tree branches at the officers, who used the riot control agent CS spray.

Caught on radio: British Border Force vessels and French Navy ships heard colluding in Channel to provide ‘handover’ of traffickers’ boats that are bringing migrants to the UK
British Government vessels and French Navy ships are colluding in the Channel to provide a ‘handover’ of traffickers’ boats bringing illegal migrants to the UK.
The Mail can reveal the extraordinary level of co-operation at sea between the two nations in ‘pass the parcel’ operations organised by Border Force officers and French warship captains.
In an astonishing series of maritime radio conversations, recorded on Sunday morning from a public maritime radio channel, the French warships and France‘s maritime police can be heard contacting the Border Force vessels Defender, Hurricane and Ranger to arrange the handover of boats carrying migrants, including five children, 12 miles off Kent.
The conversation between the vessels suggests the French Navy is routinely guiding migrant boats from the French coast to mid-Channel meet-ups with the British, who then put the passengers on board boats to bring them into Dover.
The revelations come as Home Secretary Suella Braverman met her French counterparts to agree a deal which she hopes will stop the Channel boats that have brought 40,000 migrants to the UK this year causing a crisis as the Home Office struggles to deal with the vast number of new arrivals, many from Albania.

Albanian migrant criminals ‘coached to claim they are modern slavery victims if caught’
Albanian Channel migrants are being coached to exploit modern slavery laws to avoid deportation in a “blatant manipulation” of the system, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.
NCA chiefs said a “significant number” of the Albanians in the UK had entered illegally to work in the “grey” market or for organised criminal drug gangs and were sending back “hundreds of millions of pounds” a year to Albania.
They said there was evidence from Albania that migrants were told before they left for the UK that if they chose to join crime gangs and were caught, they should claim to be victims of modern slavery in order to avoid deportation and remain in the UK.
They disclosed that police forces around the country had also found Albanians arrested for drug offences had used a “standard letter” to be referred to the national mechanism under the Modern Slavery Act, buying them at least another year in the UK as their claims are processed.
A record 3,467 Albanians have claimed to be modern slavery victims so far this year, nearly 1,000 more than the 2,547 for the whole of 2021, and ahead of any other nationality including Britons. It comes amid a surge in Albanians crossing the Channel, with 12,000 so far this year accounting for a quarter of the total of 42,138.

Asylum seeker under investigation for raping teenager ‘missing’ from Home Office hotel
Police had detained the 39-year-old man in a hotel in Waltham Forest on 5 October after reports a teenage boy had been attacked.
The suspect was taken into custody and questioned before being bailed to return on a date in early January.
The suggestion the man had gone missing was revealed by Tory MP Greg Smith during a Commons debate on Wednesday.
Mr Smith told the Commons: “Buckinghamshire Council learned third-hand from a London borough just this morning that an asylum seeker who is under investigation for a very serious offence was transferred to the asylum hotel in Buckingham.
“He was not escorted into the premises and has since gone missing.”
He continued: “That process is wholly unacceptable,” the Buckingham MP said, while asking for a commitment “that everything possible is being done to apprehend that individual and ensure that until that investigation is completed they are in secured accommodation.”
Home office minister Robert Jenrick replied: “That does sound like a very concerning incident and he has my assurance that I will raise that with the Home Office and indeed with the police and will report back to him.”
A child, under the age of 13, was also allegedly sexually assaulted at the same site in Waltham Forest.
A Home Office source said: “The bail conditions of this suspect are a matter for the police and we do not have any powers to detain him. There is no evidence he has absconded.”
Following the alleged attacks, Grace Williams, leader of Waltham Forest Council, wrote to Suella Braverman, the home secretary, to express “major concerns” at the “lack of safeguarding” at the hotel.

Employee at Yorkshire hotel claims ’90 per cent of staff have lost their jobs after up to 80 asylum seekers arrived and immigration staff took over’
Up to 90 per cent of staff have lost their job at a hotel in Yorkshire following the arrival of asylum seekers and immigration staff, an employee has claimed.
An employee of the Humber View Hotel in Hull says she is one of up to ’40 employees’ to have lost their job since the arrival of new immigration staff.
She believes that this makes up around 80 to 90 per cent of all staff at the hotel in North Ferriby.
Some staff members had been made redundant while others were told that they would get paid for one week’s notice only, she claimed.
The employee said the general manager had separate meetings with the employees on Wednesday to tell them they were losing their jobs
Around 16 immigration officers arrived at the hotel on Tuesday, before asylum seekers began arriving, the employee said. The company that manages the hotel declined to comment when approached by Hull Live.
News of the redundancies emerged as newly arrived asylum seekers described their harrowing journeys from war-torn Syria to North Ferriby.
Speaking to a reporter for Hull Live, one man said he was just happy to have a bed after ‘sleeping on the floor’ at the Manston Migrant Centre in Kent.
The hotel employee was not so happy however, saying: ‘It’s just not fair seeing your colleagues going out crying. It’s just not nice. I’ll be fine financially but there are a couple of people there, single mothers of two kids who are going to struggle.
‘It’s so divided the mood here. I felt like they knew the meeting today was for us to lose our jobs because the HR was there and you can see people walking out with their last belongings out of the hotel, but you can see the immigration [staff] cracking jokes.
‘It’s like, why couldn’t you say maybe let’s all be quiet because today is going to be a rough day for someone else. While we lose our jobs, they don’t.’
The woman added: ‘It was full of employees from the immigration office so it was taken over by them. They could be working in an office on other cases and let us still manage the hotel.’
The hotel employee said a number of senior employees at the hotel had lost their jobs. She claimed several others, including a number of managers and three chefs had been kept on.

‘I’m an asylum seeker staying in a £100-a-night hotel, I’ve been waiting here for 15 months and only eat the “bad” food once a day’. So why did you come again? From ‘war-torn’ France?
Asylum seekers have been staying in a £100-a-night hotel for up to 15 months as they wait for their applications to be processed after fleeing warzones. An Iraqi Kurd has been living at the Best Western Queen’s Hotel in Crystal Palace, since summer 2021 because his has yet to be dealt with. Other migrants in the hotel had been in Germany before coming to London where they received 15 times as much pocket money as they do here, it was claimed. The Home Office has come under fire as it last week emerged the asylum backlog has reached 120,000 people – with applications taking an average of 480 days to complete. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has announced asylum staff will get a bonus of £2,500 if they stay in their job for two years or longer. Only four per cent of asylum applications from last year have been processed and asylum caseworkers are taking a week on average to process just one claim.

The plan all along: Sunak’s asylum policy will see ‘thousands of backlog cases approved in a mass box-ticking exercise’ as critics warn the PM’s ambitious proposals involve an ‘amnesty in all but name’
Plans to clear the asylum backlog by the end of next year will involve an ‘amnesty in all but name’, it was claimed last night.
A target announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak earlier this week will require asylum claims to be granted at hugely accelerated speed.
Thousands of backlog cases from Afghans and Syrians are likely to be approved in a ‘box-ticking exercise’, sources told the Daily Mail.
Last night the Home Office dismissed the accusation as ‘nonsense’ and said there would still be ‘rigorous checks’ on all claims.
