The Biden-Harris regime will resume a controversial immigration program that allows illegal migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and Nicaragua to enter the US “legally.”
The CHNV program, which launched in January 2023, has been used by the Biden-Harris regime to import over half a million migrants from the four countries.
Under the CHNV program, the US will accept up to 30,000 people a month from the four countries for two years and offers work permits. To qualify for the program, migrants must have a financial sponsor in the US and must fly into an American airport at their own expense, rather than crossing at the southern border. Sponsors and the migrants themselves are supposed to be vetted by the Department for Homeland Security.
The Department of Homeland Security suspended the CHNV program earlier this month after widespread reports of fraud among sponsors.
An internal review by the DHS found little evidence of fraud, the agency claims.
“Together with our existing rigorous vetting of potential beneficiaries seeking to travel to the United States, these new procedures for supporters have strengthened the integrity of these processes and will help protect against exploitation of beneficiaries,” the agency said, in a statement.
New vetting procedures will include closer scrutiny of financial records provided by sponsors as well as details of their criminal backgrounds.
The aim of the program is in part to reduce illegal crossings from the four nations involved. According to figures cited by the Associated Press, Cubans were arrested 5,065 times during the first half of this year, down from over 42,000 arrests in November 2022. Arrests of Haitians fell from 18,000 in September 2021 to 304 during the first half of this year.
As the Gateway Pundit notes, the vast majority—around 90%—of the illegal aliens flow into the US under the CHNV program end up in red states. Nearly 330,000 so far have been flown into Florida, and over 20,000 have been flown into Houston, Texas.
“Biden is importing a crushing amount of illegal aliens into the red states to crash their social welfare system,” according to the Pundit.
