New Report: Two Years of the Biden Harris Administration's Fraud Ridden Parole Program

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement released an interim report titled "The Biden-Harris Administration's CHNV Parole Program Two Years Later: A Fraud-Ridden, Unmitigated Disaster." The report details the rampant fraud and abuse of the Biden-Harris Administration's unlawful Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) Parole Program.

The Biden-Harris Administration's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has approved CHNV supporter applicants who:

  • Submitted fraudulent documents as a part of their application.
  • Admitted that the income they plan to use for support includes income derived from criminal activity.
  • Are aliens in the United States on a short-term basis and who are subject to removal from the U.S. at any time, such as aliens on temporary visas, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients, and even parolees themselves.
  • Admitted to receiving means-tested public benefits as part of their income listed as evidence that they can support a CHNV alien.

The Biden-Harris Administration has also approved supporter applications for more than 80,000 aliens who are not even residing in any of the four CHNV countries.

The Biden-Harris Administration's willingness to cast aside the best interests of Americans has enabled fraud, undermined national security, and endangered public safety, all in favor of ensuring that hundreds of thousands of otherwise illegal aliens can come to the U.S. communities across the country have been negatively affected by the influx of aliens under this Administration, including the more than half a million CHNV parolees. These damaging effects on American communities are all the more disturbing in light of the massive fraud and other concerns discovered in the CHNV program.
