President Donald Trump’s administration is continuing with efforts to deport the millions of illegal aliens currently residing in the country.
Millions of migrants were also let in “legally” by former President Joe Biden’s administration.
However, the gravy train is now over, and the mistakes of the past are being reversed.
Among those efforts, the Trump admin has shut down a controversial program that allowed foreign migrants to enter the country after only being “loosely vetted.”
According to the Daily Caller, a Biden-era program that allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants in from a select group of nations is being canceled, and those who enjoyed their temporary status have received notice that it’s over.
The CHNV program, “an initiative launched by the previous administration that flew in over half-a-million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela,” has been ended.
The program had been in use for years and allowed the Biden administration to haul in hundreds of thousands of migrants who otherwise wouldn’t have been here.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed last week that the migrants who had temporary status under the CHNV program had been notified that their time under the program is up.
The Daily Caller noted:
In a public statement confirming the termination letters, DHS called CHNV a “disastrous” program and ripped the Biden White House for importing “loosely vetted” migrants en masse that competed with American workers.
A senior DHS official held nothing back when describing why the program was such a terrible idea.
“They allowed more than half a million loosely vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs; granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed,” the official said.
They added, “The previous administration lied to America.”
The program was originally launched in 2022 and was exclusively for Venezuelans, only later to be expanded in 2023 to include the three additional nations.
Republicans were not fond of the program for many reasons.
The GOP accused the Biden administration of using the program to loosen pressure on the southern U.S. border.
The Daily Caller noted:
“During its peak, CHNV was flying roughly 30,000 migrants into the U.S. every single month, allowing them to circumvent the U.S.-Mexico border entirely.”
Many believe the program was simply abused and used for political purposes.
It’s refreshing to see that the president is now following through on his initiatives and shutting down programs like these.
