Harris’s illegal immigration fraud factory

If you wanted to design a program that simultaneously exploited vulnerable migrants, enriched human traffickers, and flooded our nation with illegal immigrants , you could not come up with a better policy than the Biden - Harris CHNV parole program.

Formally known as the Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, like any liberal policy, it sounds nice when you hear the first outline, but when it gets to the details, the mendacity of the effort is exposed.

Ostensibly, the CHNV parole program allows sponsors already in the United States to file paperwork with the Department of Homeland Security agreeing to support a migrant from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela financially.

Once the DHS approves the supporter, it sends the designated beneficiary an email with instructions on how to apply for permission to fly into the U.S. through the CBP One app. After passing a cursory background check, the migrant is then given permission to fly to the U.S., where, upon inspection at a port of entry, usually an airport, he or she is granted “humanitarian parole” for two years. This status makes many of them immediately eligible for food stamps, Medicaid, and welfare.

Sounds nice, right? Troubled migrants can connect with friends and relatives to safely travel to the U.S., where they can then pursue asylum claims.

The problem is that the program, which was never authorized by Congress, is filled with loopholes that make it a factory for fraud. For starters, sponsors don’t even have to know the migrants they are supporting. They don’t even have to be people. A chicken processing plant could sponsor a migrant.

Also, once here, the Biden-Harris administration does nothing to track where these migrants go, what they do, or even inform them about how to renew their temporary status. This means literally every day that one of these migrants hits his or her two-year mark in the country and automatically becomes an illegal immigrant.

Worse, an internal DHS investigation found that the sponsor process has been corrupted by massive fraud . The DHS investigation found thousands of fake Social Security numbers, fake phone numbers, fake addresses, and often the same address used multiple times. Some 100 addresses were used on more than 19,000 applications. It appears that human traffickers were abusing the program to shake down migrants for profit.

“They call it humanitarian parole, but it has nothing to do with being humanitarian,” a Cuban migrant named Pedro Yudel Bruzon told reporters. Bruzon said CHNV parole program supporters in the U.S. were demanding an upfront $10,000 to sponsor migrants.

The Biden-Harris administration authorized more than 500,000 migrants to enter the U.S. through this program. None of them were screened for asylum status before they arrived. Asylum status was not even a requirement of the program. All that applicants needed was a “supporter” here in the U.S., and the Biden-Harris administration just let them in.

To be clear, not a single part of this entire process was, in any way, approved by Congress. It is a completely illegal program entirely designed by the Biden-Harris administration. Fortunately, after the internal DHS report documenting widespread fraud in the program, the department shut the program down.

But short of former President Donald Trump being elected this November, there is nothing stopping Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, from starting it up again. Which, considering that she believes illegal immigration should be decriminalized, she most certainly will.

And even if she doesn’t, what are we supposed to do with the literally hundreds of thousands of migrants admitted through the program who are losing their “humanitarian parole” status every day? Is Harris going to track them all down and deport them? Of course not. She wants to give them amnesty instead.

The only way to end Harris’s illegal immigration fraud factory is to defeat her this November. Then the process of restoring our nation’s sovereignty can begin.
