White House officials have hinted that they may comply with demands from Republican politicians to close a parole loophole at the border that has been taken advantage of by about 700,000 economic migrants.
“At a White House meeting on Friday, Biden's advisers recognized that a border deal with Republicans is impossible unless the administration agrees to parole restrictions,” CBS said. report January 7th.

Secretary Mayorkas is not an honest negotiator. He is reluctant to enforce existing federal laws. Why do we believe he will create new provisions? He repeatedly lied to Congress. He has lied to me personally under oath… He has stood before my committee numerous times and said that even though all Americans know that is not true, the border is It claimed to be closed and safe. He is not a faithful partner.
A possible reversal of the White House comes as President Joe Biden's campaign team sees the president's poll numbers plummeting while pro-immigration lawmakers are using a parole loophole to bus more immigrants into the United States.
