Rapid DNA testing reveals a THIRD of migrants faked family relationship with children to claim asylum during ICE pilot of the procedure in Texas
- ICE ran the pilot for a few days this month in El Paso and McAllen, Texas
- About 30% of migrants tested with rapid DNA were lying about familial relations
- Migrants with children can claim asylum and avoid detention in most cases

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement pilot of new rapid DNA testing at the border has found that nearly a third of those tested were not biologically related to the children in their custody.
Story continues below advertisementICE conducted the pilot for a few days earlier this month in El Paso and McAllen, Texas, finding about 30 per cent of those tested were not related to the children they claimed were their own, an official told the Washington Examiner.
The official said that these were not cases of step-fathers or adoptive parents.
‘Those were not the case. In these cases, they are misrepresented as family members,’ the official said.
Border Patrol agents are seen processing a family unit in Texas earlier this month. A pilot program of DNA testing found that 30 per cent of those tested had lied about family ties
Central Americans who cross the border illegally with children can claim asylum and avoid any lengthy detention in most cases. Migrants are seen in March after illegally entering Texas
It is unclear whether every family unit was tested during the pilot, or only those who raised some sort of red flag. An ICE spokesman did not immediately respond to request for comment.
The official said that some migrants did refuse the test and admit that they were not related to the children they were with, when they learned their claim would be subjected to DNA proof.
ICE said the Department of Homeland Security would look at the results of the pilot to determine whether to roll out rapid DNA tests more broadly.
After President Donald Trump’s administration backpedaled on ‘family separation’ in the face of enormous backlash last summer, the number of family units arriving at the southern border has skyrocketed.
Current U.S. law and policy means that Central Americans who cross the border illegally with children can claim asylum and avoid any lengthy detention in most cases.
U.S. Border Patrol McAllen Station has been inundated with migrant family units
US Border Patrol says it has apprehended 535,000 for crossing the border illegally so far this year, with ‘no sign of it getting better.’
Due to massive strain on the processing system, 40,000 of those have been released into communities, the agency said.
On Saturday, the Trump administration told lawmakers that it probably will cost more to care for migrants crossing into the United States from Mexico than the $2.9 billion in emergency money requested just two weeks ago.
In a White House letter, acting budget chief Russell Vought said ‘the situation has continued to deteriorate and is exceeding previous high end estimates.’
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in a separate letter that needs for the unaccompanied children account ‘could grow further and be closer to the worst-case scenario HHS had proposed be the basis for the supplemental request, which was $1.4 billion higher.’

You’re lucky it’s “only” 30 percent. Here in Europe
the lie rate among Muslims is at least twice as high.

Most even assume that it is at least 80, if not 90
percent, as far as their true age is concerned.

The legendary naivety of the West is shamelessly exploited and opens the door to abuse. However,
this is not a mistake of the invaders, but of the “liberals”. After all, they have been constantly propa-gating the “open society” (Soros) for decades. By the way, a term that comes from the Jew Popper.

If one thinks the thought consistently to the end, one comes naturally inevitably to
speak on the apparently “female” attractiveness of the West, which works like an
irresistible magnet, a “honey pot”. One then speaks of “push and pull factors”.

We’re being played by the savvy migrants. If 30% of Mexicans are lying, I’m sure 99% of the Muslims/Africans migrants in Europe are lying also since they’re more devious and cunning.
The bleeding heart Liberals just show us what a bunch of gullible idiots they are to advocate for these invaders. Pelosi needs to be impeached, she’s unfit to hold that gavel.

I must disagree with your conclusion. The perpetrators of this immigration crisis are not “gullible idiots.” They know exactly what they are doing. Are you aware, for example, that every one of these asylum seekers is assigned a free attorney who gets about $6500 a head? 95% make one appearance, released, and disappear and the attorneys keep the money.

Look at all those lazy asswipes. Carrying the flags of their own countries and foaming at the mouths for free American stuff. If they would put that energy into rising up against their own corrupt countries, fighting to the death, and changing their governments to obtain real freedoms and the right to bear arms, they could have the same prosperity in their own countries. They have the size of an army there; but, no, vampire fangs of lazy blood sucking leeches.

Sweden’s migration minister Morgan Johansson,
on the other hand, is looking forward to the masses
of “family members” because this is good for integration.

I get the feeling that the Democrats and RINO’s are not the least concerned about how these liars came into possession of all those children who turned out unrelated. No doubt some of them were the neighbors kids who were offered up as part of the free stuff in America scam. But some of those kids are going to be victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is a big profit center for the open borders crowd, even better than drug smuggling by some accounts.

The Governor of Texas estimates there are as many as 40 million illegals already in the USA. That’s about 11% or the total population, and hundreds of thousands more are on the way. Criminal gangs protected by corrupt Central American governments are organizing hordes of the most disaffected to move into the United States, across our borders and invade our society. Each one of these illegals cost the American taxpayer an estimated $50,000 a year. Yes, $50,000 a year! That is $2 TRILLION A YEAR! If you wonder why life is so expensive in the USA, why you are not making ends meet, or having problems paying for an ever inferior education for your children, or the increased cost of police protection: an endless list. The principal reason is that our revenues, our infrastructure, our culture are being destroyed to support this rabble. TRUMP has to stand firm or there is going to be a revolution that will make the riots in France look like a Sunday school picnic. We are on the brink of civil war. Only Trump can save us from a catastrophe that will take generations to recover from.
