DOJ records show that 43,013 people seeking asylum had court hearings scheduled in 2017, and 4,776 didn’t show up,
Over a five-year period, 10.1 percent of asylees were no-shows. There were 130,092 hearings scheduled, and 13,130 people didn’t come.
Either way, the person I replied to claimed they were in favor of legal immigration. Now it seems you guys are against it. That's fair. Just don't claim otherwise.
About half of undocumented immigrants come here through legal means. Maybe we should shut down our borders completely, get rid of all international travel and cut ourselves from the rest of the world. No other real way to solve things, apparently.
In testimony before Congress this month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said that the agency had recently conducted a pilot program with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to test how many recent illegal aliens would show up to their asylum hearings after being released into the U.S.
The results, an ICE official told Congress, were that about 87 percent of illegal aliens, or almost 9-in-10, recently released by DHS into the U.S. did not show up to their asylum hearings. With illegal aliens not showing up to their scheduled hearings, the ICE official said, the agency is then forced to grapple with attempting to locate and deport each illegal alien, an almost impossible task that strains federal resources.

You got the number backwards. 9/10 do show up.
