According to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin‚ internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data reveals that at least 45 U.S. cities received hundreds of thousands of migrants via the Biden administration’s controversial “CHNV” mass parole program. Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee obtained the data via a subpoena to DHS and provided the information to Fox News. “The DHS data shows that during an 8 month stretch from January through August 2023‚ roughly 200‚000 migrants flew into the U.S. via the program‚ with 80% of them‚ (161‚562) arriving in the state of Florida in four cities: Miami‚ Ft. Lauderdale‚ Orlando‚ &; Tampa‚” Melugin wrote. The top 15 cities during the 8-month window include: 1) Miami‚ FL: 91‚821 2) Ft. Lauderdale‚ FL: 60‚461 3) New York City‚ NY: 14‚827 4) Houston‚ TX: 7‚923 5) Orlando‚ FL: 6‚043 6) Los Angeles‚ CA: 3‚271 7) Tampa‚ FL: 3‚237 8) Dallas‚ TX: 2‚256 9) San Francisco‚ CA: 2‚052 10) Atlanta‚ GA: 1‚796 11) Newark‚ NJ: 1‚498 12) Washington‚ D.C.: 1‚472 13) Chicago‚ IL: 496 14) Las Vegas‚ NV: 483 15) Austin‚ TX: 171 “DHS also revealed in the subpoena response that as of October 2023‚ there was a backlog about 1.6 million applicants waiting for DHS approval to fly to the U.S. via the parole program‚” Melugin said. “Biden’s parole program is unlawful‚ and constitutes an abuse of constitutional authority. Florida is currently suing Biden to shut it down‚ and we believe that we will prevail‚” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern commented. “What they’re essentially saying is that the laws passed by Congress have said that these people are inadmissible‚ and so they created a program to try to get around those laws. The thing is‚ they don’t have the authority to create such a program. By their own admission‚ they’re breaking the law‚” Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) told Fox News. Bill Melugin wrote: Reminder: The CHNV parole program‚ created by the Biden admin in January 2023‚ allows up to 30‚000 migrants from Cuba‚ Haiti‚ Nicaragua‚ &; Venezuela to bypass the southern border entirely‚ and fly into the U.S. directly from foreign countries for a two year humanitarian parole grant if they have a sponsor in the U.S.‚ and are vetted/approved for travel. The flights are commercial‚ and are not funded by taxpayers. The program recipient or their sponsor pays for it‚ and the parole grant allows the recipient to apply to work. The Biden admin considers the program a “lawful pathway”‚ and the migrants flying into the U.S. via the program are not included in the southern border numbers. According to CBP data‚ at least 404‚000 migrants have flown into the U.S. via the CHNV parole program since it first began: 154‚000 Haitians 95‚000 Venezuelans 84‚000 Cubans 69‚000 Nicaraguans So far‚ legal challenges to this controversial parole program have failed in court. A Texas lawsuit was dismissed earlier this year after a judge ruled the state didn’t have standing to sue. More lawsuits are pending. The Biden admin says the program is a lawful use of executive parole authority. They consider the program a success‚ and believe it provides an incentive to not cross the US border illegally. The numbers of Haitians and Cubans crossing illegally have steeply fallen as a result of the program. Critics say the program essentially waves a magic wand to mass import hundreds of thousands of otherwise inadmissible migrants into the US‚ with the likelihood of them ever leaving or being deported if they stay past the permitted parole grant being remarkably low. EXCLUSIVE: Internal DHS data reveals the 45+ U.S. cities that hundreds of thousands of migrants have flown into via the Biden administration's controversial &;quot;CHNV&;quot; mass parole program.The data was obtained by @HomelandGOP via a subpoena to DHS‚ and was provided to @FoxNews.The… pic.twitter.com/Wm6R8QKHTF — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) April 30‚ 2024 A closer look at the data: Per Fox News: The policy was first announced for Venezuelans in October 2022‚ which allowed a limited number to fly or travel directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally‚ had a sponsor in the U.S. already‚ and passed certain biometric and biographical vetting. The program does not itself facilitate flights‚ and migrants are responsible for their own travel. In January 2023‚ the administration announced that the program was expanding to include Haitians‚ Nicaraguans and Cubans and that the program would allow up to 30‚000 people per month into the U.S. It allows for migrants to receive work permits and a two-year authorization to live in the U.S. and was announced alongside an expansion of Title 42 expulsions to include those nationalities. By the end of February 2024‚ more than 400‚000 nationals have arrived under the parole program‚ according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently said the program is a “safe and orderly way to reach the United States” and has “led to a reduction in numbers of those nationalities.” “It is a key element of our efforts to address the unprecedented level of migration throughout our hemisphere‚ and other countries around the world see it as a model to tackle the challenge of increased irregular migration that they too are experiencing‚” Mayorkas said. Homeland data on Biden parole program reveals illegal aliens flown to more than 45 cities https://t.co/6IwdbNZeiA — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) May 1‚ 2024 “These documents expose the egregious lengths Secretary Mayorkas will go to ensure inadmissible aliens reach every corner of the country‚ from Orlando and Atlanta to Las Vegas and San Francisco‚” Green said‚ according to Fox News. “Secretary Mayorkas’ CHNV parole program is an unlawful sleight of hand used to hide the worsening border crisis from the American people. Implementing a program that allows otherwise inadmissible aliens to fly directly into the U.S. — not for significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian reasons as the Immigration and Nationality Act mandates — has been proven an impeachable offense‚” he added.

The already slim GOP House majority got smaller after Democrats picked up a victory Tuesday in a New York special election. Democrat state Sen. Tim Kennedy defeated Republican town supervisor Gary Dickson for the state’s 26th congressional district‚ which includes Buffalo and some of its surrounding suburbs. “Democrats will now control 213 seats in the House‚ compared with 217 for the Republicans. Five seats remain vacant‚” NBC News reports. “We did it. We did it as a COMMUNITY. Because that’s what this was all about since Day One. And that’s what it will always be about. I’m honored. I’m humbled. I’m ready to get to Washington and get to work. Thank you‚ endlessly. Let’s meet this moment together‚” Kennedy said. We did it.We did it as a COMMUNITY. Because that’s what this was all about since Day One. And that’s what it will always be about. I’m honored. I’m humbled. I’m ready to get to Washington and get to work. Thank you‚ endlessly. Let’s meet this moment together. pic.twitter.com/SCjVwT1X2S — Tim Kennedy for Congress (@kennedyforny26) May 1‚ 2024 Per NBC News: Kennedy will serve the rest of Democratic Rep. Brian Higgins’ term. Higgins‚ who was in his 10th term‚ resigned in February to run a local performing arts center‚ and he had some choice words for partisan gridlock in the House. Higgins told The Buffalo News late last year that Congress is “in a very‚ very bad place” and that “we’re at the beginning phases of a deterioration of the prestige of the institution.” That did not deter Kennedy from running in the special election or for a full term in November. “The dysfunction has become an embarrassment across this country and across the global community‚” Kennedy said in a phone interview Monday. “And we have to restore honor and civility and functionality back into the halls of the House of Representatives.” Kennedy’s victory Monday was no surprise — President Joe Biden won the district by 23 percentage points in 2020‚ according to calculations from Daily Kos Elections‚ and the district has twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans.

This brings the GOP majority to one vote. pic.twitter.com/glvYxziHTi — TheNewsCompany.co (@TheNewsCompany1) May 1‚ 2024 POLITICO reports: Kennedy‚ a seven-term state senator‚ said in a recent interview that his front-running campaign is a good indicator of what happens when a Democrat with “a record of delivering results for the community” runs against a Republican “who is supporting a failed former president who’s not only indicted but is on trial.” “This race is about the future of our country‚ and I believe every race at the congressional level across America this November is going to be the same‚” he said in a recent interview. “This is a prelude to what we should expect to see in November.” Kennedy’s path to victory was smooth. He was ready to launch a full-fledged campaign from the moment longtime ally Higgins announced his retirement in November‚ and other high-profile Democrats from Western New York declined to enter the race. Republicans didn’t pick Dickson to be their nominee until February.
