House Committee Led by Reps Guest and Brecheen Probes Biden-Harris Mass Parole of 2.9 Million Aliens and NGOs Role

The House Homeland Security Committee, led by Representative Michael Guest and Representative Brecheen, convened hearings to examine the consequences of parole policies implemented during the Biden and Harris administrations. Testimonies highlighted that over 1.5 million inadmissible aliens were released into the United States with minimal vetting, contributing to what has been described as a border crisis. Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies presented data indicating that approximately 2.9 million individuals were released under parole during the Biden administration, challenging the notion that these releases were conducted on a case-by-case basis. Ken Cuccinelli of the American Renewal Center discussed the resulting backlog of immigration cases and argued that the mass parole policies have complicated the asylum process for legitimate claimants. Additionally, testimony was scheduled from Julio Rosas to address the role of non-governmental organizations in exacerbating the border situation and undermining immigration law enforcement.
