DHS Chief Kristi Noem Scraps Biden’s Amnesty for 600,000 Illegal Aliens

Newly anointed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has scrapped former President Joe Biden’s parting gift to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.

In the last few days of his presidency, Biden’s administration extended the protected status of 600,000 Venezuelan migrants who had entered the United States illegally.

On January 10, Biden’s former DHS chief, Cuba-born Alejandro Mayorkas, announced he would extend the status by 18 months, starting Jan. 17.

Mayorkas first granted “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) to two groups of 600,000 illegal aliens in 2021 and 2023.

The Venezuelan migrants had moved illegally into the United States after 2018.

The extension would have continued the Venezuelan TPS amnesty until late 2026.

Under that schedule, President Donald Trump’s administration officials would have been forced to extend or cancel the TPS status in the run-up to the November 2026 midterms.

However, Trump’s DHS chief Noem has just canceled the Democrats’ last-minute amnesty extension, according to the New York Times.

The New York Times reported:

“Ms. Noem’s decision finds fault with the move by Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary under Mr. Biden, to extend the protections for Venezuelans in the final month of Mr. Biden’s term.

“The agency generally must decide at regular intervals whether the protections should be extended before they expire.

“The notice argued that Mr. Mayorkas made his move too early and said the extension should not remain in effect ‘given the exceedingly brief period’ since it was issued on Jan. 17.”

According to the NY Times, a DHS official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, argued that “the last-minute extension by the Biden administration appeared to be a way to tie the hands of Trump officials.”

The faster return of the Venezuelans to their home country will cut off the migrants’ remittances that help the country’s Cuban-backed dictator, Nicolás Maduro.

The move will also supercharge pressure for domestic political and economic reform in the socialist nation.

The amnesty shift also suggests that Trump plans a pro-freedom foreign policy that can reinvigorate poor countries and boost beneficial U.S. exports to those countries.

The renewable TPS grants 18-month work permits and legal protections to favored nationalities.

Mayorkas used the program to help many groups of migrants to anchor themselves in U.S. society.

For example, Mayorkas granted the TPS to roughly 300,000 Haitian migrants.

Many also took jobs and housing in Springfield, Ohio, inflicting massive pocketbook penalties on ordinary Americans.

Mayorkas’ welcome for the Haitian migrants also accelerated the political and security crash in their homeland.

Investors and business owners have welcomed the TPS program because it expands the supply of labor.

It also increases the number of consumers and apartment renters, so creating shortages and rent increases for ordinary Americans.

In September 2024, Mayorkas justified nine million southern migrants flooding over the border by claiming it expanded the economy.

“We look to the north, with Canada,” Mayorkas said.

“Canada takes a look at its market needs, and it says, ‘You know what? We need 700,000 foreign workers to address our labor needs domestically.’

“And, so, they build a visa system for that year to address the current market condition.

“And they say, ‘We’re going to bring in a million people.’

“And it’s market sensitive,” he added.

“We [in the United States] are dealing with numerical caps on labor-driven visas that were set in 1996.

“It’s 2024. The world has changed.

“It is remarkable how there can be [elite] agreement that [the visas system] is broken and not have an agreement on a solution.

“The country is suffering as a result of it.”
