For those who keep saying Biden’s hands are tied when it comes to DACA, it seems like he definitely has a lot of options for Ukrainians and Venezuelans….
Quote:
The Biden administration is considering new ways to deter Venezuelans from seeking asylum at U.S. ports of entry, debating whether to establish a humanitarian parole program that would allow U.S. citizens and residents to sponsor Venezuelans for refuge in the United States.
Over 6.8 million Venezuelans have fled their country since its leader, Nicolás Maduro, tightened his grip on power, precipitating an economic and political crisis. Almost 2 million Venezuelan refugees have found refuge in Colombia.
But recent months have seen a growing number of Venezuelans heading towards the United States, traveling hundreds of miles on foot through Central America. More than 150,000 have been encountered crossing the U.S. southern border in the past year alone.
No decisions have been made regarding the potential program, a U.S. official said. But it could be modeled after the United for Ukraine program, which requires Ukrainians seeking humanitarian asylum in the United States to be sponsored financially by a vetted U.S. citizen or lawful resident.
