The freezing of a controversial Biden parole program, which allows tens of thousands of migrants to travel into the U.S. each month, due to new revelations about fraud on the sponsor side is already building pressure on the program – with conservatives calling for it to be scrapped altogether.
The Department of Homeland Security has temporarily paused the issuing of advance travel authorizations for the program – which allows up to 30,000 nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV) to travel into the U.S. each month and enter legally under the administration’s use of parole if they meet certain conditions, Fox News Digital first reported on Friday.
“Shut it down permanently,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said on Friday. “This program should have never existed in the first place. It’s just another way the Biden-Harris administration has welcomed hundreds of thousands of aliens into our country, unchecked.”

“More evidence of another failed Biden-Harris border policy. The only thing surprising is that they’re admitting it,” Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., said on X.
“Shut down the illegal CHNV parole program permanently and deport every single illegal alien, especially those the Biden/Harris regime has let in through this scheme,” Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., said on X.
A congressional source had told Fox News Digital the pause came in mid-July after an internal report unearthed large amounts of fraud in applications for those sponsoring the applicants. DHS said the pause was occurring as it reviewed sponsor applications. The focus is on issues with supporter filings, and not with the filings from the beneficiaries of the program themselves.
