The Biden administration is halting a program that has already flown nearly half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela into the US due to allegations of rampant fraud, The Post has learned.
The Department of Homeland Security stopped advance travel authorizations in mid-July for the humanitarian parole program that has allowed in 30,000 migrants per month from those nations for more than a year and a half, which was first reported by Fox News.
“Out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications,” a spokesperson told The Post.
“DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible, with appropriate safeguards,” the spokesperson said, adding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement “will investigate and litigate applicable cases in immigration court and make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.”
The pause came on July 6 for Venezuelans and July 18 for the other countries, Fox News reported, after an internal DHS report found potentially massive fraud occurring among thousands of sponsors for the migrants, with the listing of fake social security numbers or phone numbers — some of which belonged tp dead people.
The review, conducted by the subagency Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), also found “many applications listed the same physical address,” “some 100 addresses were listed on over 19,000 forms” and “many applications were submitted by the same IP address,” according to documents obtained by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). --->READ MORE HERE
The Department of Homeland Security has abruptly halted a Biden administration program that allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants outside the United States to bypass normal immigration protocols and fly into the country amid serious allegations of fraud.
The DHS has suspended the “CHNV” program following a report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which found that an internal government audit documented a large number of fraudulent applications as the U.S. admitted nearly half a million migrants from four countries.
“Out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications. DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible, with appropriate safeguards,” a DHS spokesperson told the Washington Examiner on Friday.
The report by FAIR, a nonprofit group that calls for restricting immigration levels, stated that the Social Security numbers of deceased sponsors in the U.S. and fake phone numbers were used on applications.
Address fraud was also found to be widespread. Roughly 100 street addresses were listed on 19,000 applications and were often traced back to buildings that included a warehouse or storage unit.
In another example, 100 IP addresses used to access the internet (in other words, the connection from a particular phone, tablet, or computer) were used to apply in more than 51,133 instances. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
