0:46Now PlayingWhite House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was slammed by critics after boasting Monday about the Biden administration’s humanitarian “parolee” program for asylum seekers from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti and Venezuela — as the US preps for a fresh surge of migrants at the southern border.
“You’ve seen the parolee program be so successful,” Jean-Pierre said during her press briefing. “It has, it has, it has, when it comes to illegal migration, you’ve seen it come down by more than 90%, and that’s because of this act — the actions that this president has taken.”
The program, instituted in October for Venezuelans and extended to residents of the other three countries in January, has allowed 30,000 asylum seekers who followed the legal application process to be admitted to the US each month.
Migrants from those countries who showed up at the border without applying for the process were swiftly expelled.
The program had contributed to an overall drop in enforcement encounters at the border, from a record high of 252,012 people in December to 156,787 in January. By March, however, that number had bounced back to 191,899, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which had not yet released numbers for April.
