In 2021, President Joe Biden’s airport security agency implemented fast-track lanes for illegal immigrants, according to a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) document made public by officials from President Donald Trump’s administration.
This previously undisclosed policy from 2021 allowed illegal migrants to utilize various “DHS-provided documents” to bypass the regular security lines that often caused delays for American travelers. These documents included arrest warrants, court appearance notices (“Notice to Appear”), and Alien Booking records, all issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The policy was revealed by journalist Breanna Morello, who reported, “These documents could be displayed electronically at TSA security checkpoints, meaning an illegal alien could present a photo or screenshot on their device, and TSA agents were permitted to grant them passage.”
She continued, “TSA officials claimed these documents didn’t exist during his [Biden’s] tenure, but the Trump Administration has since granted me access to this information.” Morello explained that she obtained the information through a Freedom of Information lawsuit.
Biden’s officials, particularly border chief Alejandro Mayorkas, welcomed millions of migrants from the southern border, driven by their opposition to strict border policies. Their actions were also aimed at benefiting Democrat-aligned investors by increasing the availability of low-wage workers, consumers, and renters to stimulate the economy.
Morello pointed out the risks posed by this policy, saying, “The Biden administration jeopardized national security by dispersing unvetted illegal aliens across the country. How many terrorists might now reside among us?”
Additional reports by other journalists showed footage of illegal migrants being ushered past waiting American travelers by government-appointed escorts.
The TSA document explains that the policy was designed to alleviate delays caused by migrants attempting to get through airport security without proper identification. The document noted that the large number of undocumented individuals “places a severe burden on TSA checkpoints when attempting to vet multiple individuals.” It also highlighted the program’s success in reducing wait times, stating, “use of CBP OneTM also resulted in an efficiency improvement in process cycle time over the IVCC procedures. The average cycle time for ID verification with CBP OneTM was 1.48 minutes as compared to an average IVCC cycle time of 12.87 minutes, an 88.50% reduction of average cycle time per individual.”
With President Trump’s security policies now significantly reducing the flow of migrants at the border, it’s possible that this 2021 policy may be discontinued.
