a Biden presidency pardon plan for some groups of asylum seekers was criticized on World Refugee Day on Thursday, according to Republican members of the House Homeland Security Committee.
The probation system allows up to 30, 000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to come to the United States every quarter if they meet certain requirements.
However, GOP politicians claim that court records obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies as part of a situation have revealed that people are receiving pardon from more than 70 nations around the world, including Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Great Britain, Hong Kong, and Sweden, and are departing for the United States.
It’s unfortunate enough that this software exists in the first place because it blatantly goes against the restrictions on parole set by bipartisan legislative majority members. According to Rep. Mark Green, R-TX, House Homeland Security Chairman, “many of those who have left the CHNV nations seeking financial option or a better career have found it in rich countries through Europe, Asia, and somewhere,” the evidence is even worse that these departure locations, according to Rep. Green, R-TX, who is also chairman of the House Homeland Security.
Up to 30 000 people from these four nations will be on probation each month, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s website, but they wo n’t say whether they can enter the country from other nations.
” The U. S. government is implementing these extensive efforts to reduce the abnormal migration of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, to freely and comfortably bring qualifying individuals into the United States on a case- by- case basis for immediate humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit”, the website says.
Border Report has reached out to DHS to inquire whether the system permits immigrants to go from other nations. If additional details are provided, the account will get updated.
The plan was extended in January 2023 to contain Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans. It had existed since October 2022 but only for Venezuelans.
Since January 2023, more than 434, 000 workers have arrived at U. S. ports of entry seeking prison through this system, according to data obtained by the council.
According to the statistics, over 91, 000 workers flew into Miami, Florida, for the software. The other major places included:
- 60, 400 flew into Fort Lauderdale, Florida
- 14, 800 flew into New York City
- 7, 900 flew into Houston
- 6, 000 flew into Orlando, Florida
- 3, 200 flew into Los Angeles
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated in a statement that Thursday is World Refugee Day, which is” a day on which we recognize people who have been forced to flee.”
” At this time in the world, a period of increased persecution, issue, thirst, extreme conditions, and other disturbing causes, there are more than 100 million people displaced from their homes”, he said. The scale of the global displacement is unprecedented. Our nation continues to be steadfast in its commitment to provide those who qualify for relief under our laws.
When Mayorkas and his parents moved to Cuba in 1960, he was himself a refugee.
” Our country gave us a new future, just as it has done for so many from across the globe”, he said.
77 Democratic lawmakers introduced a resolution in Congress on Thursday affirming the country’s commitment to safeguarding the safety, health, and welfare of refugees.
The United States ‘ response to providing humanitarian aid and protecting protections for refugees and displaced people is a testament to our own history and a sign of moral leadership.  , On this World Refugee Day, our resolution honors the aspirations and contributions of refugees globally”, U. S. Sen. Ben Cardin, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said in a statement.
According to the United Nations, 108 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide.
According to Eleanor Acer of Human Rights First, one of the dozens of nonprofits that supported the resolution,” World Refugee Day is an opportunity for the United States to celebrate the many ways that refugees contribute to our communities.”
” June 20 has always been about honoring the bravery and humanity of those who have been forced from their homes. It is about our futures together. It is related to our common belief that people sometimes have more in common than they think, according to Erol Kekic of the nonprofit Church World Service. ” Members of Congress know that refugees enrich our communities.
