Important Takeaways:
- Top immigration experts are hammering the Biden administration over its plan to establish so-called “parole-in-place” qualifications for illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens.
- The idea of parole-in-place stemmed from a memo crafted by President Bill Clinton in 1998 and has been used since 2016 to categorize non-citizen immediate family members of U.S. Service Members.
- A forthcoming executive order expanding the construct is expected to shield as many as half a million illegal immigrants from deportation.
- Former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan said, “This administration has done nothing to secure the border – they’re playing a shell game. This is just another enticement… for more illegal aliens to cross the border to take advantage of a giveaway program.”
- Another expert on the issue said that whether parole-in-place allows 500,000 or many more people to come to or stay in the U.S., it essentially creates a 51st state.
- Homan, who served in the Trump administration, previously said he hopes to help establish a “historic deportation program” if the real estate mogul is elected in November.
