Staff Reports
The Department of Homeland Security revealed that almost 200,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela flew into major American airports through a program started by the Biden administration. These migrants were processed under the Humanitarian Parole for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV) program, which grants a two-year parole period and work authorization eligibility. The House Homeland Security Committee obtained documents through a subpoena that showed over 50 airport locations used for processing these foreign nationals between January and August 2023.
Florida cities, especially Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, were top destinations for these migrants entering through airports. Other cities like New York City, Houston, and Orlando were also popular among those participating in the program. The documents also revealed that none of the individuals entering under the CHNV program had a legal basis to enter the country before being paroled through the program.

The House Homeland Security Committee shared concerns about Secretary Mayorkas’ handling of the program, accusing it of trying to hide the border crisis by allowing inadmissible aliens to fly across the country. Republican Rep. Mark Green called the program an “unlawful sleight of hand” and suggested that it could be an impeachable offense. Despite previous legal challenges from Republicans to block the program, a federal judge blocked those efforts in March.
Since President Biden took office, there have been over six million migrant encounters at the southern border, with the administration rolling back enforcement measures like Remain in Mexico and Title 42. The Biden administration’s approach to immigration has faced criticism for its handling of the border situation.
