President Biden’s Parole Policy: Over One Million Foreign Nationals Enter U.S. Since 2023

0:00

President Joe Biden’s policy of granting parole to foreign nationals has resulted in more than one million individuals entering the United States since its implementation in January 2023. This number surpasses the populations of several states, including Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

According to the Department of Homeland Security’s latest figures released in April, tens of thousands of foreign nationals continue to be released into the U.S. through the southern border and commercial flights each month. From January 2023 to April 2024, over 1.025 million foreign nationals have been released into American communities through the administration’s “CBP One” mobile app and humanitarian parole program.

The CBP One app, which allows individuals in northern Mexico to schedule appointments at the border for entry into the U.S., has brought in more than 591,000 foreign nationals, primarily from Venezuela, Haiti, and Mexico. Additionally, approximately 434,800 individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole during the same period, often arriving through commercial flights after receiving approval from DHS.

Data provided by DHS to the House Homeland Security Committee shows the significant impact of Biden’s parole pipeline in attracting foreign nationals who would not otherwise be eligible for entry into the U.S. As of mid-October 2023, around 1.6 million individuals had applied for travel authorization to the U.S. under the humanitarian parole program, surpassing the populations of 11 states, including Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, and the Dakotas.
