The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly resuming a parole pipeline for migrants to come to the United States, despite having previously shuttered the program due to warnings of widespread fraud. Earlier this month, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas temporarily halted the CHNV program following reports of fraud and abuse. The program serves as one of two parole pipelines created by Biden and Harris, providing advanced travel authorization for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to fly to the U.S. and secure parole.
When Mayorkas closed the CHNV program, it had already welcomed approximately half a million migrants to the United States in less than two years. Reports from the Washington Times and the New York Times suggest that Mayorkas is now resuming the CHNV program—a move criticized by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN.
It should come as no surprise that the Biden-Harris administration has rushed to restart its unlawful CHNV mass-parole scheme, despite the clear evidence of fraud permeating the program,” Green said. The CHNV program, along with the use of the CBP One app at the Southwest border, has helped President Joe Biden and his “border czar” create a massive shell game, encouraging otherwise-inadmissible aliens to simply cross at ports of entry instead of between them, according to Green.
The House Homeland Security Committee Chairman revealed that the committee had been in contact with DHS officials over fraud within the CHNV program and shared some sobering results. Instead of scrapping the clearly flawed program, the department is allowing it to continue without rooting out the fraud or putting adequate safeguards in place to prevent exploitation by sponsors here in the United States,” Green said.
Green added that had DHS “simply stopped importing 30,000 inadmissible aliens every month in the first place,” it would have never had a fraud issue to begin with. In total, Biden and Harris’s parole pipeline—which includes migrants arriving at the southern border through the “CBP One” mobile app—has welcomed almost 1.3 million migrants to American communities, roughly the size of Dallas, Texas.
