1 in 4 Illegal Aliens Released Into US Without Registration Number: IG Report

Border Patrol agents failed to assign an official โ€œalien registration numberโ€ to up to one-fourth of illegal immigrants released into the United States between April and September last year, according to a new report issued by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general (IG).

An alien registration number, or A-number, is meant to be provided to every illegal alien being released into the United States, as well as all legal immigrants. Itโ€™s a unique number assigned to each individual that allows immigration authorities and law enforcement to track that personโ€™s case and status.

The IGโ€™s office selected 384 illegal aliens for its report, from a total number of 384,938 potentially released into the United States during the six-month period.

โ€œWe found that Border Patrol did not issue A-numbers for 107 of 384 migrants, most of whom were paroled into the country or issued Notices to Report,โ€ the Sept. 21 report states.

The IGโ€™s office noted that it was unable to extrapolate the results to the whole population as the missing A-numbers applied to members of a family. The agency didnโ€™t respond to a request asking for more clarification as to why the results couldnโ€™t be extrapolated.

As border regions became overcrowded and overwhelmed last year, Washington leadership instructed Border Patrol agents to release entire families with just the โ€œhead of householdโ€ given an A-number.

When agents apprehend illegal aliens, they usually take biographical information such as fingerprints and photographs to attach to each personโ€™s file that has its own unique A-number. However, no biographical information is taken for children under the age of 14.

The IGโ€™s office said it conducted its report โ€œto determine to what extent CBP [Customs and Border Protection] screened migrants to prevent criminals, drug traffickers, and terrorist watch list individuals from entering the United States along the Southwest Border.โ€

In total, during fiscal year 2021, Border Patrol apprehended more than 1.6 million illegal aliens at the southern border. This fiscal year it will reach more than 2 million.
