Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is demanding that the Department of Justice and Homeland Security immediately end the Biden-Harris administration’s Cuba-Haiti-Nicaragua-Venezuela (CHNV) parole program, charging that the program is replete with fraud while helping to facilitate trafficking and violent crime that includes "sexual assault, rape, and murder.”

Cruz and other supporting senators sent a letter Tuesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to say that the CHNV Parole Program should be terminated “immediately,” because it is “ineffective, unlawful, and hazardous.”



The senators also cite continued lax border security and illegal immigration and told the attorney general and DHS secretary to initiative a comprehensive investigation of the parole program to assess its failings while seeking assurances that any future immigration policies will have better congressional oversight.

The Biden-Harris administration paused the CHNV Parole Program in mid-July after allowing into the US about 520,000 illegal immigrants. However, it resumed six weeks later.

"These stop-gap marginal improvements and platitudes to improve the program do not solve the fundamental fraud, failure, and illegality of the CHNV program,” the senators wrote. “This fundamentally-flawed program must be permanently dismantled, and steps must be taken to ensure that future immigration policies are both lawful and effective.”

DHS stopped the program after an audit revealed that people sponsoring immigrants were lying about being family or friends of those seeking to enter America, the Daily Wire reported, while noting that the Democratic Party still touts the program as an excellent way of “expanding legal immigration and deterring illegal immigration.”

Cruz and the other senators said that the CHNV Parole Program is a violation of existing law, specifically Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act that indicates parole can only be granted on an individual basis and not for masses of people seeking entry to the US.

“By establishing a categorical program based on nationality, the Biden administration created a parallel immigration system without congressional approval,” the senators wrote.

The senators also note that the program has “pervasive failure in oversight,” by inadequately investigating applications and thus approving fraudulent claims. “There have been many instances of crimes, such as sexual assault, rape, and murder committed by CHNV participants.”

In their criticism of the program, the senators note that even DHS is critical of the results, citing an internal report that questioned why 100,948 forms had been filed by 3,218 sponsors who failed to provide information about their annual income or failed to meet the income levels stipulated by the program. The same report also documented numerous examples of people providing fraudulent personal information.

One applicant of the Biden-Harris parole program was arrested and charged with molesting a 10-year-old boy in Massachusetts.
