Nationwide, the average immigration case has been pending 829 days and 953 days in New York. The only relief available to most of those illegal immigrants is asylum, so the ones who do show up for court will apply for that protection to stay here longer, even if they just came to make more money.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times\u2019 article focused on Venezuelan migrants in New York City. Under Biden, agents at the southwest border have caught 157,600 Venezuelans, 57% of them single adults. Just 1,404 were expelled under Title 42, meaning most of the rest are here indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>The Times contends the United States cannot send them back to Venezuela \u2014 with which America lacks diplomatic relations \u2014 but that contention elides the fact that, as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2022\/01\/31\/biden-border-venezuelan-migrants-colombia\/\">The Washington Post reported in January<\/a>, Biden had struck a deal with Colombia to take back Venezuelans who had resettled there.<\/p>\n<p>Two million displaced Venezuelans have moved to Colombia, and more than a few likely entered illegally. It does not appear, however, that DHS sent many back or even asked apprehended Venezuelans where they were living before they came here.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sympathetic to DC and New York City, but I\u2019ve talked to officials in those much poorer border towns about their struggles to deal with the costs.
