Over the years, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has exposed the flaws and loopholes by the federal government allowing more illegal immigrants to enter the U.S.
The latest is called “Humanitarian Parole.” It allows migrants to bypass the normal screening process to enter the country for a temporary period of time due to a “compelling emergency.”
However, the latest data from CIS shows an increasing number of illegal immigrants flying into Florida, under the Humanitarian Parole program, than any other state in the U.S.
Starting in 2022 and then expanding in 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) authorized these flights for illegals that were Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Colombians, Guatemalans, El Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Ecuadorians to fly into Florida without notifying Gov. DeSantis’ office.
According to CIS, Homeland Security refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports it approved for direct flights for certain inadmissible aliens.
The numbers released by CIS show around 386,000 migrants (single adults and family units) through February were allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports transporting the illegal immigrants, where the majority landed in Florida. “In fact, Florida turns out to be the top landing and U.S. customs processing zone for this direct-flights parole-and-release program, tallying at nearly 326,000 of the initial arrivals from inception through February. The data for Florida shows it to be heaviest for initial landings and migrant releases,” said CIS writer Todd Bensman.
Since 2022, the Governor’s office has complained that DHS never notifies them of illegals flying into the state, which prompted actions by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to sue the federal government to stop parole programs on grounds that the administration’s illegal abuse of the narrow statutory parole authority has directly harmed them.
After flights land into the state, DHS hasn’t released any information if the illegals, after they landed, flew to another state, or remained in Florida.
Todd Bensman says the Biden White House has been very secretive about the flight program of illegals coming into the U.S.
