These programs include population transfers from Afghanistan and Ukraine, “family reunification” (chain migration) programs, and the use of the CBPOne app, which facilitated the entry of a Haitian now accused of double murder earlier this year.

As of fall 2023, around 2.3 million migrants had entered the U.S. through these programs with minimal health and background checks. Pending EAD applications stand at 1.4 million.

These programs do not grant lawful immigration status but rely on the federal government’s “parole” authority. Over 700,000 illegal border-crossers were granted parole in 2022-23, compared to only 479 such individuals between 2013 and 2020. Parolees are often eligible for work permits and Social Security cards. The number of work permits has risen from 1.279 million in 2022 to 2.139 million in 2023, with projections indicating a rise to 3.3 million in 2024.

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam has previously explained how the Biden regime issuing Employment Authorization Documents en masse allowed meat-processing and other industries addicted to migrant labor to profit from illegal immigration despite claiming to oppose it.
