Under the Biden Administration’s Humanitarian Parole Program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, the United States has accepted over 500,000 migrants as part of a historic expansion of legal immigration.
Using a law from the 1950s, the Biden administration has expanded legal immigration to the greatest extent in modern U.S. history, according to unpublished government data obtained by CBS News. These programs aim to decrease illegal border entries or provide a haven for refugees. Over half a million migrants have been welcomed under these programs.
More than 893,000 foreign nationals have been released into the country’s interior between January 2023 and February 2024 because of Biden’s parole pipeline, which includes the “humanitarian parole” program and the migrant smartphone app “CBP One.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released operational statistics today for February 2024. CBP monthly reporting can be viewed on CBP’s Stats and Summaries webpage.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the nation’s largest federal law enforcement agency charged with securing the nation’s borders and facilitating international travel and trade. Their top priority is to keep terrorists and their weapons from entering the United States.
At the nation’s more than 300 ports of entry, Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers have a complex mission with broad law enforcement authorities tied to inspecting all foreign visitors, returning U.S. citizens and imported cargo that enters the United States. Along the nation’s borders, the United States Border Patrol (USBP) and Air and Marine Operations (AMO) are the uniformed law enforcement components of CBP responsible for securing U.S. borders between ports of entry.
The total number of foreign-born or immigrant people (legal and illegal) was 49.5 million in October 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). This represents a record high and an increase of 4.5 million since President Biden assumed office. The percentage of people who were born outside of the country is also the largest in American history, at 15%. This conclusion is significant as the debate over the current border crisis rages because administrative statistics, like border encounters or even legal immigrant arrivals, do not capture the true immigrant population size, which is ultimately what determines the impact of immigration on the nation.
An unspecified red state told CBS News, “The Department of Homeland Security, under the false pretense of preventing aliens from unlawfully crossing the border between the ports of entry, has effectively created a new visa program — without the formalities of legislation from Congress”.
Additionally, the Biden administration is putting into effect a second program that will offer parole powers to migrants from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras upon the government’s approval of visa requests submitted by their relatives who are citizens or residents of the United States.
President Biden’s policies on illegal border crossings and migrations have devastating effects on the lives of common Americans. The crime rate has increased due to illegal migrants entering the United States since President Biden entered the White House. These illegal migrants have crippled the American society. But it seems like President Biden is not seeing this or ignoring it due to some personal motives.
