From just last week: > The Center for Immigration Studies found last year from January 2023 to December 2023, at least 320,000 illegal immigrants were allowed to fly into the U.S. from their home country through a controversial program of the Biden administration using the Customs and Border Patrol app, the CBP One app that was created to let migrants apply for parole into the US. > The Parole program allows for two-year periods of legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization. https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/biden-admin-flew-hundreds-of-thousands-of-migrants-into-us-using-cbp-one-app-illegal-immigration-border-crisis-southern-border https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/biden-admin-flew-hu...

  If they're coming in under a government program with proper paperwork, they aren't illegals.

    I agree. It's government policy at this point to bring in as many people as possible for some reason. My guess is to drive down wages, some others have guessed that it's due to a belief that global conflict is rising and the native population is unwilling to fight.

      Then you should not have said 320,000 illegal immigrants brought in, since you agree they are not illegals.

        This perspective seems to be missing the forest for the trees. Bribery isn't illegal for Congress, it's just called lobbying. Insider trading isn't illegal either. Loose immigration policy and the lack of border enforcement obviously exerts downward pressure on wages for low skill workers. It also bids up rents since illegal immigrants are willing to pile into a 1 bedroom apartment. The elite own businesses and real estate, both of which benefit from illegal immigration reducing wages and increasing demand for rent. If you take a minute to think about the incentives, then see the effects in the world around you, it's pretty obvious what's going on.

  Sigh. The humanitarian parole program was created to allow 30,000 Cuban/Haitian/Nicaraguan/Venezuelan nationals in per month on a two year work visa as long as they have a US sponsor that will financially support them and pass background checks. In return, Mexico is allowing the US to expel 30,000 illegal migrants per month from those countries to Mexico rather than their home countries.

    When is the humanitarian relief for dishwashers in Kentucky expected to arrive?
    - Aloisius 3y ago
      Not relief. Parole. The parole process has reduced the number of aliens from those countries entering the US and government spending and lets us do background checks, capture biometrics and cap how long they're allowed to be here. There's a reason why the court tossed Texas' lawsuits against it this week. They couldn't find injury.

    It doesn't matter if they're only here for two years; they still need housing during that time. That's 30,000 unhoused individuals per month being added, and unless the expelled offsets it, they still need housing.

      It reduced illegal border crossings by people from those countries by more than were admitted through the program, so housing requirements should be reduced overall.
