Senators Demand Immediate End to CHNV Parole Program Over Fraud and Crime Concerns

Led by Ted Cruz, lawmakers cite widespread fraud, legal violations, and public safety risks associated with the immigration initiative.

Senators led by Ted Cruz are calling for the immediate termination of the CHNV parole program, citing widespread fraud and criminal activity.
The program, which allows 30,000 individuals per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to immigrate to the U.S., was temporarily halted but quickly resumed.
Reports have uncovered fraudulent applications by U.S.-based sponsors, including fake addresses and phone numbers, prompting concerns over inadequate vetting.
The senators argue the program violates existing immigration laws by establishing a parallel system without congressional approval.
Critics highlight serious public safety risks, linking the program to several crimes committed by beneficiaries.
