The Biden Administration’s Border ‘Parole’ Plan Takes Illegal Immigration To A Whole New Level

The Biden administration doesn’t need a parole policy. It needs a border enforcement policy.



President Biden has finally found a solution to address the surge in illegal crossings at the southern border: tell the tens of thousands of aliens unlawfully entering the United States from Mexico that they can come to America “legally” if they instead fly to a port-of-entry in the interior of the country. 

Seriously, for all the Biden administration’s spin, that’s his plan — and it is illegal.

Of course, when Biden announced his administration’s newest policy on Thursday in advance of his midterm inaugural trip to the southern border on Sunday, the press release heralded the plan as a “new border enforcement action.” But as National Review’s Andrew McCarthy exposed in his weekend column, it’s a scam. 

The scam, though, is layers thick, both legally and politically. And to reach the core truth — that Biden refuses to faithfully execute his duties as the president of the United States by defending our sovereign border — one must first unpeel the specifics of the newest plan buried in the Department of Homeland Security’s official notice of the changes, while also analyzing the relevant immigration law. 

The Plan

Today’s edition of the Federal Register, which serves as “the Daily Journal of the United States Government,” contains the details of DHS’s supposed “new border enforcement action,” in four separate “notices,” titled respectively: “Implementation of a Parole Process for Cubans,” “Implementation of a Parole Process for Haitians,” “Implementation of a Parole Process for Nicaraguans,” and “Implementation of Changes to the Parole Process for Venezuelans.” 

Each notice summarizes the Biden administration’s supposed “solution” to the flooding of the southern border, which in short consists of allowing, on a monthly basis, a total of 30,000 aliens to enter the United States “legally” if they are Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, or Venezuelan nationals. To qualify, aliens must have a “U.S.-based supporter,” which could be “non-governmental entities or community-based organizations,” and must “provide for their own commercial travel to an air [port-of-entry] and final U.S. destination.” National security and public safety vetting are also required, as well as any additional public health requirements, such as vaccinations.

But how is it that illegal-alien border crossers can become lawful noncitizens by just jumping through a few hoops and flying to the interior of the country, rather than sneaking over the southern border?

They can’t. And in crafting its latest immigration plan, the Biden administration is again acting lawlessly.

2/ Some additional reading for you: @AndrewCMcCarthy
nails the scam at @nro
but I'd recommend reading my piece first because I lay out the immigration law in more detail which makes his punch more forceful.

Biden’s Immigration ‘Parole’ Scam
To address a political embarrassment, Biden has concocted a form of what we might call ‘migrant laundering.’

3/ And George Fishman Dep. General Counsel at DHS under Trump in immig. @CIS_org
has great detail on Congressional changes to parole statute to prevent Biden from doing what Biden just did. https://cis.org/Fishman/Bidens-Perversio...l-Crisis-Making
But as he did w/ student loans, Biden crafted to defeat standing.

Biden’s Perversion of Parole Is a Constitutional Crisis in the Making | @CIS_org
The Biden administration has now come upon what very well could be its silver bullet to kill off whatever remains of America’s immigration system.

4/ Highlighting this point b/c it is extremely revealing. In Oct. 2022, Biden Administration hatched parole plan to stop Venezuelans from flooding southern border. Total cap of 24,000 reached in two months, so Biden Admin. expands b/c otherwise they'll start invading again.

5/ That's not my take, that's what the DHS SAID in last week's notice, albeit with a more massaged message. My outrage level on this parole plan is as high as it was when I realized months before Twitter files FBI lied to social media to interfere in 2020 election.

6/ Just as that story was underreported at the time, this one is too. Yes, it is being reported and yes there is outrage, but not nearly enough.
