Dead people, criminals, 'Elvis Presley' among sponsor applicants for Biden migrant parole programs
Elvis Presley died in 1977, but somehow he was among the people who applied to sponsor migrant "parolees" under the Biden administration, according to a government audit that excoriated the Department of Homeland Security for how it handled the now-defunct parole programs.
The Elvis impersonator wasn't alone. More than 1,400 migrants were admitted to the U.S. despite agency files showing that their sponsors were dead, according to the report by the Government Accountability Office, Congress' investigative arm.
One application submitted a photo of journalist Connie Chung as an identity verification, and another used a photo of "NCIS" actor Cote de Pablo. Still another person applied to sponsor a migrant child even though he had a criminal history that included two child pornography offenses.
