Biden crammed nearly 100,000 Afghan evacuees into America after the chaotic Kabul collapse.
A federal watchdog just finished checking how well Homeland Security vetted those asylum files.
One single applicant's asylum file hid a number of fake names that will make your jaw drop.
Investigators Found 303 Aliases Missing From the Files
The DHS Office of Inspector General released its findings on September 23.
Investigators pulled a random sample of 678 asylum files from the Operation Allies Welcome program.
They found errors in 269 of them.
That is a 40 percent failure rate on paper.
Investigators counted 303 aliases missing entirely across 169 of those files.
One applicant alone had 124 known aliases on file, more names than most caseworkers could reasonably track.
Twenty-three security checks were never completed.
Two of the flagged files involved applicants investigators flagged on terrorism-related grounds.
In one of those cases the required review paperwork was missing completely.
In the other case a supervisor began the review and never finished it.
This is not some hypothetical risk either.
Basir Ahmad Safi came into the country in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome.
By September 2023 the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office had already arrested him on charges that included lewd and lascivious exhibition, soliciting a child online, and child abuse.
He was ultimately convicted of indecent exposure to a minor.
When DHS agents finally grabbed him in March, Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis did not mince words: "This unvetted Afghan pedophile was let into our country by the Biden administration."
Unvetted is the word now used to describe the program Biden built.
An Afghan national admitted through this exact program was also arrested in December for allegedly supporting ISIS-K.
A third was accused last November of threatening to build a bomb and kill Americans.
None of that is a paperwork mistake, that is a predator and two terror suspects who should have never cleared the door.
Experts Say the Real Failure Rate Is Even Higher
Charles Marino is a former senior adviser to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
He says the 40 percent figure is almost certainly too low.
Marino believes a bigger sample would expose an even worse failure rate.
Mark Krikorian runs the Center for Immigration Studies.
He called the report proof that the vetting Americans were promised was "superficial and even frivolous."
Biden's team has been down this road before.
A 2023 court settlement in Ahmed v. DHS forced USCIS to decide 90 percent of these asylum cases within 150 days.
Case officers have said publicly that deadline made thorough vetting almost impossible.
Speed became the priority, and security became an afterthought.
Keep in mind this sample covered only 678 files out of more than 13,000 completed cases.
If this error rate holds across the rest, thousands more files could be just as compromised.
Now we know why.
Trump's DHS Is Finally Fixing What Biden Broke
Mullin said simply, "Our asylum system should be as strict as possible."
The inspector general gave USCIS five fixes, including properly recording every alias and verifying every security check before a case closes.
USCIS has already agreed to all five.
This same week, DHS put a migrant caravan heading north through Mexico on notice, cross illegally and expect arrest, a court date, and a flight home.
That is the difference between an administration that takes vetting seriously and one that treated it as a box to check.
Biden's open border did not stop at the southern border, it ran straight through Kabul too.
Alejandro Mayorkas stood before Congress in November 2021 and defended this program's vetting as sound.
He is the same man who told Americans the border was secure while millions walked across it.
Now a government watchdog says one in four files had missing names nobody ever checked.
That is not a clerical error, that is a man who had no interest in whether killers slipped through.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says the new standard is simple, one terrorist getting through costs American lives.
That is not just carelessness, that is a pattern this country has paid for before.
More than a decade before this report, two Iraqi refugees resettled in Bowling Green, Kentucky turned out to be tied to Al Qaeda bomb making.
No one noticed, not until it was almost too late.
The next Bowling Green is sitting in that pile right now, and nobody has found it yet.
Biden's team had every warning sign available and chose to look away anyway.
Congress will now demand answers about how many of these files still haven't been reviewed.
Expect subpoenas, not apologies, because Mayorkas already proved he won't volunteer the truth.
Somewhere in your own town right now, a man with a fake name and a record Washington never checked could be living three doors down from you.
This is why conservatives never trusted Operation Allies Welcome, and this audit just proved every one of those concerns right.
Biden's legacy on Afghanistan was chaos at the airport, and now we know the chaos followed everyone through the door.
