The effort includes immigrants from Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti with U.S.-based financial sponsors through a program modeled after the policies of the Biden administration that provided safe havens for displaced Ukrainians and Venezuelans. This includes allowing them to enter the country legally.

Eligible immigrants from these crisis-hit countries enter the United States under humanitarian parole authority. This allows the beneficiary to temporarily live and work legally in the United States.

The expanded legal channel will be limited to 30,000 monthly visitors and will be combined with deterrence measures designed to deter illegal immigration along the southern border, according to people familiar with the plan.

Representatives for the White House and Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday’s announcement.

The expansion of Title 42 to include immigrants from Cuba and Nicaragua comes as the majority of the tens of thousands of Cubans and Nicaraguans who have been processed along our southern border in the past year have been released and allowed to be searched by the United States. would be a dramatic change in policy for They are in exile because their home country severely restricts US deportation.

mass escape from cuba and Nicaragua have contributed to record levels of US border security over the past year. In recent months, arrivals from these countries have outnumbered migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador detained at U.S. borders, an unprecedented demographic change.

The new effort also represents a dramatic and unprecedented expansion of parole powers that the Biden administration has already used to resettle tens of thousands of refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine.

President Biden will outline his strategy along the U.S.-Mexico border in his first speech at the White House on Thursday, which will focus solely on border policy. Biden also asked Congress to reform the U.S. immigration system and legalize so-called dreamers and other immigrants living in the country without legal status, including farm workers, according to people familiar with the speech.

The humanitarian crisis along the southern border has become a political responsibility for Biden, who has been accused by Republicans of ignoring the issue.

In fiscal 2022, U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped 2.2 million immigrants along the southern border, according to federal statistics. This was an all-time high, surpassing the record set the previous year. More than one million of these encounters resulted in immigrants being deported from the United States under Title 42.

While revoking some of the Trump administration’s asylum restrictions, the Biden administration retained Title 42 for more than a year, defending Trump-era claims that the policy was necessary to control the spread of COVID-19.

In April 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it would suspend approval of Title 42 as the pandemic situation improved, including improved vaccination coverage. But a group of Republican-led states persuaded a federal judge in Louisiana to block the termination of the rule on procedural grounds.

Then, on November 15, another federal judge Declared Title 42 was illegal, and the CDC had not adequately explained the public health rationale for its policy and failed to consider its impact on asylum seekers. We have given border officials five weeks to December 21 to finish.

Nineteen Republican-led states have asked courts to postpone repeal of Title 42 indefinitely, warning of chaos otherwise. After their request was denied by a lower court, the state asked the Supreme Court to intervene.

On December 27, the Supreme Court suspended the lower court’s order finding Title 42 illegal pending a decision on whether to allow the Republican-led state to intervene in the case, revoking policy. He said it would likely delay the end for several months.
