The Biden-Harris administration is pausing a scheme that allows up to 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans per month - none of whom have any legal right to be admitted - to fly into the United States with access to work authorization, known as "CHNV Parole." Turns out the program was rife with fraud.
Customs and Border Protection describes both aliens denied admission at the border and those apprehended entering illegally as "Encounters." The law treats them exactly the same, and mandates they all be removed unless they are eligible for some immigration benefit.
Because CHNV migrants fly directly to this country, they don't show up in the Border Patrol's monthly Southwest border encounter totals - the metric the media usually rely on when talking about illegal migration.
People enter the country per year - and probably more - without being added to the millions being encountered at the border.
Cities like New York haven't been dealing with migrant crises in the past three years solely because Border Patrol agents have apprehended nearly 7 million illegal entrants at the Southwest border since February 2021.
Understand: There were border surges under both the Obama and the Trump administrations, but they weren't allowed to fester.
So in lieu of deterring migrants from coming illegally, the administration is buying them off and hiding the transaction using schemes like CHNV parole.
