Thanks for listening to the Town Hall Review with Hugh Hewitt podcast, bringing to you the best voices on the stories and issues that matter.

Here's another piece I'll trust you and joy.

It is stunning what Elon Musk and Doge is uncovering.

In 1274 here, he's in Wisconsin stumping for Schimel, the Supreme Court race.

But anyway, Elon, while on the stump,

talking about some of the things they've found, 1274. What this is, is when you come in the country,

if you're illegal, there's a couple ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry,

and you can tell them you're afraid, they'll give you an asylum case, you'll get an interview, then you get in,

that's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border. Literally this happened.

I talked to Border Patrol myself. Elon was there too. I went to Laredo, and I went to Bronsville.

Elon went to Eagle Pass. You walk up to a border patrol officer, and you tell them you want to come in. They have a couple of choices.

They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325,

or they can make an administrative offense, like a parking ticket, basically.

They were told to do that, make an administrative offense on the last administration.

And you walk across the border, They do what's called a release your

own recognizance and they give you an NTA and notice to appear, which to appear to judge. The wait

times on judges are like average six years. Look at Grock. You'll see it on immigration judges.

There's only 700 of them. This is 5.5 million people. Okay? So what happens then? Once you're in the country

and you've got asylum, do one of these pathways, and we map the whole thing out, you can apply

for a work document. You file a 765. It's the work form. You get this form called the 766.

That's the authorization. And then Social Security

Administration automatically send you in the mail your Social Security number. No interview. No ID.
