A federal judge ruled in favor of the Biden administration’s ‘parole’ program for migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti, a pathway for legal entry into the U.S.
A group of Venezuelan migrants negotiate razor wire as they cross the Rio Grande along the border wall separating the United States from Mexico in September in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The Biden administration won a major legal victory Friday in its effort to reduce illegal immigration at the southern border, when a federal judge in Texas ruled the government may continue a program that accepts 360,000 migrants a year from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti.U.S.
“The district court’s decision is based on the success of this program,” Fernández Hernández said in an email. “The Biden-Harris Administration remains committed to expanding lawful pathways to the United States, while delivering consequences to those who do not avail themselves of these processes and have no legal basis to remain in the United States.
Biden administration officials said they created the program because large numbers of migrants from those countries were crossing illegally. They The Biden administration has said that parole created an orderly way for migrants to apply for asylum and, because they had sponsors willing to resettle them,
Among the financial burdens Texas suffered, they argued, were the state’s costs in issuing driver’s licenses, and providing health care and education. The state argued that the parole program would increase the number of migrants in the state and therefore, increase the state’s costs.But Tipton said the data during the trial showed that arrivals crossings from the four groups declined, costing Texas less money.
