Biden's Immigration Policy Creates New Entry Point.

President Biden has expanded the use of humanitarian parole programs to allow hundreds of thousands of new immigrants into the US, offering them the opportunity to fly to the country and quickly secure work authorization, provided they have a private sponsor to take responsibility for them. The measures, introduced over the past year to offer refuge to people fleeing Ukraine, Haiti, and Latin America, could become the largest expansion of legal immigration in decades. The programs have divided leaders of Republican states, with some suing to suspend the parole program for residents of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, arguing that it will admit 360,000 new immigrants a year from those countries and burden states with additional costs for healthcare, education, and law enforcement.
