Exiting Border Chief Mayorkas’ Parole Inflow to Hit 1.5 Million Migrants

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief will likely have imported 1.5 million illegal migrants via his quasi-legal parole programs by the time both men exit their offices on January 20.

The progressive inflow of 1,468,490 migrants by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas is reported in the department’s inflow numbers for December 2024:

In December, CBP [Customs and Border Protection] processed almost 44,000 individuals at ports of entry with information submitted in advance through CBP One [cellphone app]. Since the appointment scheduling function in CBP One was introduced in January 2023 through the end of December 2024, more than 936,500 individuals have successfully [entered the United States] …

Through the end of December, about 531,690 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans arrived lawfully and were granted parole under the parole processes. Specifically, 110,970 Cubans, 213,150 Haitians, 96,270 Nicaraguans, and 120,760 Venezuelans were vetted and authorized for travel;

Overall, the Cuban-born Mayorkas has pulled in more than 8 million legalized, quasi-legal, and illegal migrants to spike the U.S. economy, regardless of the immense harm to Americans.

The parole programs cut a huge loophole in the nation’s border laws by granting “humanitarian parole” to a huge population of economic migrants. The parole provision was intended for a small number of emergency cases, such as sick airline passengers.

Mayorkas has also opened many doorways for hundreds of thousands of foreign graduates to take the decent white-collar jobs sought by young and experienced U.S. graduates.

Much of this white-collar inflow consists of Indian graduates using H-1B visas to reach the kickback-funded hiring managers who create jobs for unskilled co-ethnics by firing skilled Americans.

Since 2022, the GOP has been unable to use its majority in the House to block funding for the inflow. That failure happened partly because the GOP coalition includes members who loudly oppose illegal migration — but are loath to oppose the Democrats’ united front for migration.

It is not clear if Joe Biden fully backed or even trusted Mayorkas. But Mayorkas’ unpopular policies were protected by a clique of top officials in the White House, Sen. Chuck Schumer’s control of the gavel in the Senate, and the PR funding provided by the FWD.us group of West Coast consumer-economy investors.

Mayorkas’ preference for migrants over Americans has caused huge damage to ordinary Americans.

Mayorkas’ migrants are being used in the United States as cheap workers, apartment-sharing renters, and government-funded consumers. That demographic stimulus inflates the size of the U.S. economy and skews the flow of money toward investors.

For example, his massive inflow of cheap and compliant labor has forced down American wages, pushed up their mortgages, and lifted their housing rents by roughly 20 percent.

It has also shrunk the workplace automation that can help Americans earn more money each day — and that would help companies keep ahead of China’s high-tech manufacturing centers.

The economic damage caused by Mayorkas’ migrants also spiked homelessness among the Americans who could not afford housing amid the flood of government-subsidized migrants. “An estimated 771,480 people were homeless on a single night in January 2024, rising 18 percent from 2023, said the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),” according to a December 27 report by the AFP news agency.

His unwillingness to guard Americans’ borders also killed many Americans, including aspiring nurse Laken Riley who was killed by a migrant in 2024 who had been loosed by Mayorkas.

Mayorkas’ invitation to economic migrants also killed thousands of migrants at sea, in jungles, in snowstorms, rivers, and scrublands. {snip}

Nonetheless, Mayorkas has repeatedly boasted of his welcome for migrants. “It’s a moment of tremendous pride, tremendous pride in the people whom I have worked alongside and supported for four years,” Mayorkas told PBS in an exit interview on January 14.
