| DHS docs reveal where paroled migrants under controversial Biden flight program are landing |
| 2024-05-01 |
| [FoxNews] Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data is revealing the more than 45 cities in the U.S. that hundreds of thousands of migrants have flown into via a controversial parole program for four nationalities — with the vast majority entering the U.S. via airports in Florida. During an eight-month period from January through August 2023, roughly 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via the program. Of those, 80% of them, (161,562) arrived in the state of Florida in four cities: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa Bay, according to DHS data obtained via a subpoena by the House Homeland Security Committee and provided to 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. The top 15 cities migrants flew into during the eight-month window are: 1) Miami, Florida: 91,821 2) Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: 60,461 3) New York City, New York: 14,827 4) Houston, Texas: 7,923 5) Orlando, Florida: 6,043 6) Los Angeles, California: 3,271 7) Tampa, Florida: 3,237 8) Dallas, Texas: 2,256 9) San Francisco, California: 2,052 10) Atlanta, Georgia: 1,796 11) Newark, New Jersey: 1,498 12) Washington, D.C.: 1,472 13) Chicago, Illinois: 496 14) Las Vegas, Nevada: 483 15) Austin, Texas: 171 DHS also revealed in the subpoena response that as of October 2023, there were about 1.6 million applicants waiting for DHS approval to fly to the U.S. via the parole program. DHS said in its subpoena response, "All individuals paroled into the United States are, by definition, inadmissible, including those paroled under the CHNV processes." |

| #4 Tipping Florida, what else could explain the focus? An honest mind might see this as a criminal conspiracy under color of authority, but I'm sure the DOJ-NSD is all over it... |

| #3 So they're all impoverished refugees who have the cash to buy a plane ticket. And their papers are all in order. |

| #2 Becoming more obvious by the hour. This has all been orchestrated, pre-planned. Not a random outbreak, or a coincidence of political angst. |

| #1 Wonder how many of those cities are University towns currently embroiled in protest, with underfunded police. |
