U.S. Border Patrol is using a "parole" exception to release tens of thousands of illegal immigrants into the United States, The Epoch Times reported.
Illegal migrants with parole status are able to stay in the U.S. for at least a year with only a U.S. background check and without providing evidence of credible asylum fears.
The parole designation allows for Border Patrol agents to process large numbers of illegal migrants "significantly faster," a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said. The current system releases illegal immigrants with a court date for an immigration hearing.
