Biden-Harris Administration Freezes Illegal Alien Parole Program
Lawmakers have already been questioning whether the U.S. Department of Homeland Security can adequately monitor more than 1 million parolees.

An investigation by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service has allegedly uncovered massive amounts of fraud in the Biden-Harris administration’s illegal alien parole program, resulting in the program being halted.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform obtained a full report of the USCIS internal review, which exposed the fraud.
The report allegedly uncovers fraud in the paperwork sponsors file with USCIS for every alien seeking to obtain parole through the CHNV program for applicants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Evidence of the fraud manifests through fake Social Security numbers, including those of deceased individuals. Further, on over 19,000 parole application forms, only 100 addresses were listed, with many would-be parolees applying from a single property.
Many applications for parole were also submitted from the same IP address, and questions asked on Form I-134A were answered the same way for as many as 10,000 different applications.
“The report reveals that the 100 IP addresses accounted for 51,133 of the Form I-134A applications submitted,” unearthed the Federation.
“In one example, an IP address located in Tijuana, Mexico, was used 1,328 times. The report states that, on average, each IP address associated with these programs submitted 2.2 application forms.”
In light of the surfaced fraud, sources confirmed to Fox News that the Biden administration has frozen the CHNV parole process. A DHS spokesperson said that “out of an abundance of caution” the program had been temporarily paused.
Though the program allows thousands of foreign nationals from CHNV countries to enter the U.S. each month if they meet parole conditions and requirements, the program has been frozen since mid-July following the report detailing the fraud in the program.
“DHS has review mechanisms in place to detect and prevent fraud and abuse in our immigration processes. DHS takes any abuse of its processes very seriously,” the spokesperson stated. “Where fraud is identified, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will investigate and litigate applicable cases in immigration court and make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.”
The news broke just months after DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the program was a “safe and orderly” method for individuals reaching the United States.
Texas Scorecard previously covered concerns as to whether DHS was able to monitor 1.1 million parolees after the department’s inability to track 77,000 Afghan parolees.
The U.S. House Homeland Security Committee Republicans suggested on X that if the Biden administration cannot handle a mere 77,000 parolees, it cannot possibly have a plan to remove all 1.1 million foreign nationals allowed into the country via mass parole schemes.
