Immigration enforcement advocates have strongly opposed the illegal parole programs created by the Biden-Harris administration, repeatedly warning lawmakers about the public safety and national security risks. Those concerns have now been confirmed by an internal investigation by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) which found the agency has been rubberstamping parole applications as quickly as possible – without verifying information provided by sponsors or parolees.
The new report, obtained exclusively by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), details the alarming results of an internal review USCIS performed of thousands of sponsor applications for the Cuban-Haitian-Nicaragua-Venezuela (CHNV) parole program “to identify patterns, trends, and potential fraud indicators.” The new and never disclosed internal report suggests massive fraud in the application process, and specifically, fraudulent information used in thousands of Forms I-134A, the paperwork a sponsor files with USCIS for each alien seeking parole through the CHNV program.
The results are astounding. According to the internal agency review, evidence of fraud includes the use of fake Social Security Numbers (SSNs), including SSNs of deceased individuals, and the use of false phone numbers. Many applications listed the same physical address. In fact, 100 addresses were listed on over 19,000 forms, and many parole applicants applied from a single property (including a mobile park home, warehouse, and storage unit). In addition, many applications were submitted by the same IP address. If this weren’t bad enough, the same exact answers to Form I-134A questions were provided on hundreds of applications – in some instances, the same answer was used by over 10,000 applicants.
According to DHS sources, because of the alarming new information, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) decided to halt entry for those who applied under the program. It is unknown how many of the aliens seeking parole through CHNV and described in the report were approved for the benefit, and how the department adjudicated applications of sponsors who fabricated their applications. It also remains unclear if and how DHS is resolving the prevalence of fraud in the program.
