Systematic and blatant fraud has forced President Joe Biden’s border chief to temporarily shut down the supposedly legal “parole pipeline” of 360,000 job-seeking migrants a year from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Biden’s staff “said it was safe and legal,” said Ira Mellman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which exposed the fraud. “Their own investigation revealed that this was riddled with fraud and poses danger to the American people.”
“Shut it down for good.” Responded Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana)
“This certification by the Biden-Harris Administration validates all the warnings we have previously issued about the illegal CHNV mass parole program,” he said. statement By Rep. Mark Green, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
The pipeline was created by President Joe Biden’s pro-immigration and impeached border chief Alejandro Mayorkas. In June 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris touted the policy as creating an “orderly and humane” migration pathway into the United States.
Mayorkas’ pipeline is already in place since October 2022. Approximately 520,000 people The US is taking away jobs and wages that would otherwise go to high-paying Americans. The influx includes Cubans, Haitiers, Nicaraguas and Venezuelas. About 200,000 people have been removed from Haiti, including many police and medical professionals, further destabilizing an already unstable country. Mayorkas’ legal excuse was that he would stop allowing migrants to cross the border illegally. Do it legally.
The CHNV pipeline was quietly shut down in mid-July after an internal investigation into widespread fraud, some of which was perpetrated by “migrants who are temporarily in the country,” as seen in the H-1B visa program. The Washington Post report.
Officials denied responsibility for the closure in a statement to Breitbart News.
Out of an abundance of caution, DHS is temporarily suspending the issuance of advance travel authorizations to new beneficiaries while it reviews sponsors’ applications. DHS will resume processing applications as soon as possible after taking appropriate safeguards.
Agency officials claim they screened migrants entering the country despite a lack of data from the migrants’ home countries.
But fraud was occurring among sponsors, many of whom demanded money in return for applying for parole visas on behalf of migrants.
The misconduct has been publicly acknowledged since the program’s inception. Associated Press report February 2023:
A Facebook post advertising paid sponsorships led to a person claiming to be a U.S. citizen living in Pensacola, Florida, who said he was in contact with a journalist but refused to speak by phone, only sending text messages. The person told The Associated Press that he had sponsored his Cuban uncle and aunt, paying $10,000 each. The person refused to provide contact details for the relatives and then stopped responding to questions.
Another would-be sponsor said in a Facebook messenger message that he would charge $2,000 per person, including sponsorship fees, paperwork and airfare. Calls to a Dominican Republic phone number seeking more information went unanswered.

“Looking to sponsor 2 people. My husband is in a wheelchair,” posted a woman who said she lives in Havana, “I’m offering my house and everything in it and will pay $4,000 for each person I sponsor.”
FAIR described the agency’s internal report on fraudulent practices that were never openly questioned as follows:
Electronically Submitted Applications [by sponsors]Applications are not assessed by regular examiners, but by personnel who simply determine whether the application is sufficient. Of the total 2.6 million applications received, the report said, about 529,000 were “confirmed” (or approved) and about 118,000 were “not confirmed” (or rejected).
Many sponsors filed multiple sponsorships, similar to the H-1B scam in which immigrants pay corrupt executives to sponsor them for work permits.
According to the report, 100 IP addresses accounted for 51,133 of the I-134A applications filed. In one instance, an IP address located in Tijuana, Mexico, was used 1,328 times. On average, each IP address associated with these programs filed 2.2 applications, according to the report. “One sponsor’s phone number was listed on over 2,000 applications filed by 200 different sponsors,” the report states. Additionally, “[o]“Parolee phone numbers were reported on 626 different forms and were associated with 238 different parolee last names and 142 different parolee addresses.”… The most frequently used sponsor email address was listed on 363 different forms. Additionally, the most frequently used parolee email address was listed on 1,723 different forms collectively submitted by 477 sponsors.
The sponsor has submitted false information or has refused to submit required information.
Sponsors often do not provide income (even though they have an obligation to financially support the foreign national). Sponsors who do provide income say, “In many cases, [did] “The government has not met the financial standards to support the number of parolees it is sponsoring,” the report noted. The report also highlighted that applicants used deceased people’s social security numbers, stating that “24 of the 1,000 most frequently sponsored social security numbers belonged to deceased people.” … In one example, the same answer was used 4,978 times, a slightly different answer variation (using “she” instead of “he”) was used 2,837 times, and a slightly different answer variation (using “it”) was used 2,557 times… The report highlighted the use of fraudulent social security numbers (SSNs). According to the report, foreigners used similar SSNs such as “111111111,” “123456789,” and “666666666,” proving that fraudulent data was openly provided to the government.
Many sponsors brought in many immigrants.
The report discusses how addresses were used multiple times. 100 addresses were used between 124 and 739 times on a single form, and those 100 addresses were associated with 19,062 forms. Properties associated with the form addresses include mobile home parks, warehouses, storage units, apartment complexes and commercial properties. The investigation found that 739 forms used a single mobile home park address, another 596 were associated with a single warehouse and 501 used a storage unit address.
Media reports about the closures have downplayed the brazen wrongdoing: “Officials said an unpublished report had uncovered possible problems, including multiple applications from a single sponsor,” Reports By Maria Sacchetti The Washington PostUnder the boring headline:Department of Homeland Security suspends Biden’s parole program for four countries. Camilo Montoya Galvez, a Colombian-born reporter for CBS News, The damning details Due to negligence by public officials.
Melman said sponsorship fraud aside, the parole program itself is clearly illegal.
“The law is very clear that parole can only be used on a case-by-case basis and for very specific national security, national security and humanitarian interests,” he said. “What they’re saying is they can use parole on anybody, but they can’t have a program for 360,000 people and then say they’re doing it on a case-by-case basis.”
He added that officials’ “hidden attitude is: ‘We’re going to let people in by any means, regardless of the consequences, regardless of the threat to the country, regardless of who it might put at risk.'”
The legality of the program has not been decided. A federal judge in Texas has asked attorneys general to refile the lawsuit against the program after blocking an initial lawsuit for failing to allege that the program imposed more costs on the state than a comparable number of illegal immigrants.
“The costs to state and local governments are [migrants] “Places like New York City are on the brink of bankruptcy,” Melman said.
The administration’s policy of importing workers has lowered American wages and driven up rents. This damage to household finances has swayed Latino voters toward President Donald Trump. Yahoo! News reported on July 30:
Many Hispanics who started out in these jobs have reached the middle class, but they worry about rising housing costs and an influx of new immigrants who will compete for jobs.

“Something has to change,” said Margarita Valdovinos, a businesswoman who sells handmade jewelry and describes herself as a Republican. “Before, I was able to rent a house, but now I can only rent one room.”
Extract Migration
Since at least 1990, the federal government has quietly adopted extractive migration policies to grow the consumer economy after helping investors relocate high-wage manufacturing sectors to low-wage countries.
Immigration policies extract huge amounts of human capital from impoverished countries: additional workers, white-collar graduates, consumers, renters. Boost stock prices By cutting American wages, subsidizing less productive businesses, raising rents, and sending real estate prices soaring.

Donald Trump’s campaign recognizes the economic impact of immigration. Biden’s unpopular policies “flood the American workforce with millions of low-wage illegal immigrants, a direct attack on the wages and opportunity of hard-working Americans,” the Trump campaign said in a May statement.
This secretive economic policy has siphoned jobs and wealth from the Midwestern states by providing coastal investors and government agencies with a flood of low-wage workers, over-occupied renters and subsidized consumers. Similar policies are harming the people and economies of Canada and the UK.
Policies like colonialism have also harmed small nations and killed hundreds of Americans and thousands of immigrants, including: Taxpayer-Funded Jungle Trail Through the Darien Canyon in Panama.
