“Biden’s Parole Pipeline Facilitates Entry of Over 950,000 Foreign Nationals to the U.S.”

Since its initiation in January 2023, President Joe Biden’s parole pipeline has facilitated the release of over 950,000 foreign nationals into the United States. This figure surpasses the total population of South Dakota, which is approximately 895,376 according to the latest census data.

As of the recent March 2024 figures disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Biden’s parole pipeline continues to facilitate the release of tens of thousands of foreign nationals into the U.S. interior. This process occurs both through the southern border and via commercial flights.

Since its inception in January 2023, the parole pipeline has enabled the release of over 950,000 foreign nationals into American communities. The pipeline operates by bringing these individuals to the U.S. through the administration’s “CBP One” mobile app and “humanitarian parole” program.

The CBP One app has facilitated the entry of over 547,000 foreign nationals into the United States since its implementation. These individuals, primarily from Venezuela, Haiti, and Mexico, schedule appointments at the border for their release into the U.S. interior.

Simultaneously, about 404,000 nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have arrived in the United States on humanitarian parole over the same 15-month period. These individuals are approved by DHS to enter the country and subsequently fly into the United States via commercial flights.

To be more specific, DHS has authorized approximately 84,000 Cubans, 154,000 Haitians, 69,000 Nicaraguans, and 95,000 Venezuelans to fly to the U.S. and obtain humanitarian parole.

Applicants for parole under Biden’s policies have a remarkably high success rate. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) mentioned during a recent hearing that DHS approves parole for more than 97 percent of applicants.

In response to this, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the high approval rate by stating that “those [parole] cases are received on an individualized basis.”
