The Biden administration has frozen a pardon program that allows up to 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to enter the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security suspended the program after a massive fraud was committed not by migrants but rather by their sponsors.
A DHS internal report has revealed fraud in the application to sponsor migrants.
DHS has temporarily suspended the issuance of advanced travel authorizations to new beneficiaries, while it reviews supporter applications. DHS will resume processing all applications as soon as possible with appropriate safeguards.
What kind of fraud or abuse was discovered?
Fox News:
Some applications to the program include hundreds of social security numbers and addresses.
Fox News Digital shared parts of the Federation for American Immigration Reform report, a conservative immigration organization. According to the report, at least 20 forms had 3,218 serial numbers of sponsors.
The leaked information revealed that more than 2,000 of the forms had a sponsor’s telephone number, and 2,839 were filled out with invalid zip codes.
DHS swears to a stack of Bibles that CHNV recipients were “thoroughly screened and vetted” before they arrived in America.
The spokesperson clarified the fact that the “multilayered screening” for advanced travel permits, and the vetting of supporters in the United States is separate from the screening done on U.S. Citizens. “DHS does not have any concerns about the screening and vetting beneficiaries.
The sponsors claim that, despite lying to DHS about the visa recipients they were honest themselves and would not have worked with a corrupt sponsor to enter the U.S.
This is a bunch of BS.
Ira Mehlman is a spokesperson for FAIR. She told Fox News Digital: “This shows that the administration would be willing to compromise public safety and cut corners to get as many illegal immigrants as possible. ”
Biden invited the CHNV migrants. They have a two-year visa that allows them to stay in the U.S.
It is an abuse of power for Congress to allow 30,000 immigrants per year from four different countries. Republicans have discussed impeaching Biden because of his involvement in this program.
Republicans should work to pass legislation to end this program.
