Government talking point

Customs and Border Protection still reports thousands of monthly paroles and transfers, yet Republican posts insist there have been 'zero releases' to portray Trump as uniquely tough. The claim contradicts publicly available statistics and feeds a fear-based immigration narrative.

“Zero releases” is a useless stat without context. I could never in my life go fishing and then say “I’ve had zero releases!” and it would be true. What we can say though is that ICE has murdered more American citizens than Border Patrol has released immigrants. How’s that for some context?

Dear Homewrecker, The “zero illegal aliens released” statement refers specifically to releases by Border Patrol at the border. Critics note that it does not necessarily mean zero undocumented immigrants entered the country overall, overstayed visas, or were processed through other legal/parole systems. Some debate also exists over how the government counts encounters and releases. �

OK, Abe. Whatever. But riddle me this. If the CBP releases someone into the US from a border checkpoint doesn't that make the release legal? So I fail to see how any release ever made by CBP under the legal programs you call "catch and release" could be illegal. Yet congress under republicans Johnson & Thune has failed to close these legal windows. If you are really serious about controlling immigration more tightly how about you folks in DC do some real work and pass some legislation? Or do you feel creating the Nation's laws is no longer the role of congress?
