Biden Seeks To Solve Border Crisis—by Making It Easier To Enter the United States
Migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela will have an easier time entering the country thanks to President Joe Biden's new immigration plan, which he says will stymie illegal border crossings.
The United States will accept up to 30,000 migrants from those countries under a "humanitarian parole" program, Biden announced on Thursday. Migrants who qualify for the program will be able to travel directly from their home countries to the United States after applying to the program through a mobile app, rather than declare asylum at the southern border after crossing from Mexico. Biden in the fall implemented a pilot version of the program for Venezuelans.
Biden's plan comes as the United States, since the president took office, has suffered the worst border crisis in its history. Federal data show that the southern border has seen more than four million illegal border crossings since the beginning of 2021, with the pace showing no signs of slowing.
Critics of Biden's proposal questioned how making it easier for migrants to enter the United States would deter migrants from illegally crossing the southern border. Others raised questions about the legality of Biden's proposal.
