Biden Administration Reports Significant Drop in Illegal Border Crossings
New pathways for lawful entry introduced amid Republican criticism of expanded immigration programs.
- Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border have reached their lowest levels since the start of the Biden administration.
- The Biden administration has introduced new programs allowing migrants to enter the U.S. through legal channels, such as the CBP One app and CHNV parole program.
- Republicans argue these measures are politically motivated and bypass Congressional authority on immigration policy.
- The CHNV program, designed for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, has faced suspension due to fraud concerns.
- Regional processing centers have been established in several Central and South American countries to manage migrant applications.
