Data Show 90% of Illegal Immigrants Sent to Texas and Florida by Biden Program

According to government data, a Biden administration covert initiative flies illegal immigrants from Latin America directly to U.S. cities, with over 90% landing in Texas and Florida. Likely not a coincidence that these are states led by staunch critics of illegal immigration. Nearly 348,000 migrants entered this system since October 2022.

More from Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner:

Investigator Todd Bensman said the program allows “aspiring illegal border crossers” from nine Latin American countries to buy an airline ticket to fly directly to the city of their choice, where they are processed and let go.

“Begun in October 2022 for Venezuelans and expanded in January 2023 to Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Colombians, the program approves flight travel authorizations for aspiring illegal border-crossers still in other countries to instead arrange commercial airline passage for themselves over the southern border and then receive temporary but easily renewable ‘humanitarian parole’ from CBP officers at the airport,” Bensman said in his new report. “One incentive to dissuade beneficiaries from illegal border crossings is that the parole program comes with eligibility for renewable work permits.”

Despite calls for transparency, the government withholds data on immigrants’ final destinations, raising concerns among state officials about resource allocation and legal implications.
