/1🚨EMERGENCY: A migrant crime wave has seized America.

Today, America First Legal, Ken Paxton, and 20 Attorneys General filed an urgent motion in federal court to stop Biden’s secret migrant flights depositing illegals from crime-plagued nations directly into US cities:

/2 On January 5, 2023, President Biden and DHS Secretary Antonio Mayorkas announced the creation of the unprecedented new program to allow 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly into the country EVERY MONTH.

/3 The program makes use of “parole,” which is a strictly limited authority intended to allow aliens to enter the country without a visa in emergency situations.

/4 Under the Trump administration, it was normal for the parole authority to be used a few dozen times a month.

This new program makes a mockery of the parole authority, using it to create an entirely new parallel immigration system outside the control of Congress.

/5 The program essentially creates a “visa-free” immigration program for aliens from those countries. The program required minimal vetting that is laughably lax. Program participants do not need to have a visa or even have any kind of interview with a U.S. official before being approved for travel to the USA. For example, applicants for immigrant visas are required to undergo a comprehensive medical exam to prevent the transmission of dangerous diseases. Aliens in the parole program don’t have to undergo any kind of exam.

/6 As a federal judge in Texas recently pointed out, applicants to the program are approved at a rate of 97.5%.

Thus, applicants are virtually guaranteed admission to the United States.

/7 The CHNV Program allows for a maximum of 30,000 aliens to use the program each month, and sure enough, the Biden administration has been taking full advantage, allowing close to 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly into the country EVERY SINGLE MONTH:

/8 Even worse, there is no scheduled end date for the program, and DHS consistently renews the parole status of aliens already in the United States.

So, the program essentially allows these aliens to immigrate permanently.

/9 It gets worse… as the States pointed out in their briefing to the court, aliens in parole status are immediately given work permits and are entitled to basically every kind of welfare benefit after being present for five years. The costs of the program to taxpayers are therefore going to be enormous.

/10 Nationals of these countries have allegedly been involved in heinous crimes in the United States, including rape and murder…keep reading.

/11 Laken Riley, an innocent 22-year-old, was on a jog in Georgia when an illegal alien from Venezuela abducted and brutally murdered her.

/12 A 40-year-old Nicaraguan national, who was previously deported 5x, was charged with brutally raping a disabled woman.

/13 A 26-year-old Haitian man was recently charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts.

/14 Today, we filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its erroneous decision in this critical case. aflegal.org/america-first-…
