They’re coming every month in massive numbers from four of the most dangerous countries in the Americas, and the Biden White House migrants program that allows them legal entry is reportedly rife with corruption. “Unauthorized migrants are being sold access to the Biden administration’s ‘parole’ program for as little as $5,000 in Nicaragua,” The Washington Times stated in a shocking March 18 report.
“The scammers charge would-be migrants $1,000 upfront, which buys them contact with an American willing to fill out the forms promising financial support. Once the Department of Homeland Security approves the sponsor, the migrants pay the other $4,000 to the scammers and head to the US,” the paper related.
The result: A criminal operation that defrauds the United States is thriving inside a country ruled by an authoritarian neo-Marxist regime with a longstanding antipathy for the USA. The Biden administration is positively inviting another Fidel Castro Mariel Boatlift-like exodus of the worst elements of Nicaragua’s population into the United States.
“Parole is being sold on the open market,” a source “who saw the scam in operation in Nicaragua” told The Times.
‘Safe and Orderly Way to Reach’ US
The Biden administration rejoiced March 8 when a federal judge allowed the controversial program to continue. “We are pleased that today’s court ruling means that the parole processes for individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela will continue. These processes – a safe and orderly way to reach the United States – have resulted in a significant reduction in the number of these individuals encountered at our southern border,” an official Biden Homeland Security Department statement crowed.
The numbers are staggering when one considers the dangerous origins of the new arrivals and the marked hostility of their home governments.
“Since the program was launched in fall 2022, more than 357,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela have been granted parole and allowed to enter the country through January,” the Associated Press reports. “Haitians have been [by far] the biggest group to use the program with 138,000 people from that country arriving, followed by 86,000 Venezuelans, 74,000 Cubans and 58,000 Nicaraguans.”
The overall migrant parole count, including from other war-torn nations, since Biden entered the White House in January 2021 is significantly greater.
“More than one million people have been allowed to enter the US under Biden administration programs based on the immigration parole authority,” CBS News reported in January.
“Since President Biden took office in 2021, his administration has used immigration parole at a historic scale, invoking the decades-old law to welcome hundreds of thousands of foreigners fleeing armed conflicts in Afghanistan and Ukraine, or political and economic crises in countries like Haiti and Venezuela.”
Remembering the Migrants Disaster of 1980
As Phillip Linderman at the Center for Immigration Studies pointed out in January, this has allowed the door to be flung wide open for a national security “nightmare” with the potential to dwarf Castro’s nefarious actions in 1980.
“In [Homeland Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas’s parolee-migration programs, the ‘partner’ countries are, in some cases, enemy regimes (Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela) or in other cases dysfunctional states (Haiti). In any event, these governments have neither the goodwill nor the capacity to share sensitive information with DHS on their domestic criminals or terrorists,” Linderman wrote.
He then emphasized the frightening parallels with Castro:
“In fact, with Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, the governments in those hostile countries now have a golden opportunity to offload as many unwanted criminals, anti-US troublemakers, and deep-cover spies as they can. The US government will have almost none of these excludable foreign suspects on its watchlists. Past experience with Cuba should send up red flares. Of some 125,000 Cubans that Castro permitted to sail to the US in the infamous 1980 Mariel boatlift, some 20,000 turned out to have serious mental illnesses or criminal issues that would have made them ineligible for an immigrant visa.”
The social and financial cost to South Florida was enormous.
“On any given day, there are 350 to 400 Mariel Cubans in Dade County jails, according to a recent report by the Dade-Miami Criminal Justice Council,” The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 1985, five years after the event. “This year alone, the county will spend more than $6 million to house those criminals. The state Department of Corrections will shell out another $6 million to house Mariels convicted of felonies in Dade, the report revealed.”
“Mariel criminals in Florida jails have an average of nine years of prison time left, bringing the cost to state taxpayers to nearly $72 million by the time they are released, the report says.”
Assuming the 20,000 figure is correct, this means some 16% of Cubans sent to the US by Castro were hardened criminals or suffering from mental illness. If that same percentage is applied to the mass importations of Cubans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Venezuelans by the Biden administration today, that could mean some 57,000 unstable and potentially dangerous foreigners have been dropped into American neighborhoods since the fall of 2022 (going by the 357,000 figure stated above).
The dire consequences are as tragic as they are predictable: more citizen lives put in mortal danger, more overburdened police and social welfare programs, and more disintegration of the quality of life in America today.
And this is but one program the Biden administration is using to import aliens into the United States.
