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 outlines issues of fraud and abuse within the Biden-Harris Administration's Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) Parole Program.
According to the report, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the Biden-Harris Administration has approved applications from CHNV supporters who have submitted fraudulent documents as part of their application process. Additionally, some applicants admitted that their income for support includes earnings from criminal activities. The report also highlights that aliens in the United States on a short-term basis—such as those on temporary visas or with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or parolees themselves—are subject to removal at any time but have still been approved as supporters.
Moreover, it was noted that some applicants admitted to receiving means-tested public benefits as part of their listed income to support a CHNV alien. The administration has also reportedly approved supporter applications for over 80,000 aliens not residing in any of the four CHNV countries.
The report criticizes the administration's actions by stating: "The Biden-Harris Administration's willingness to cast aside the best interests of Americans has enabled fraud, undermined national security, and endangered public safety." It further claims that American communities have been negatively impacted by this influx of aliens under current policies.
