Biden/Harris administration 'super-charged' migration from Latin America: report
Over 20,000 migrants have already been approved for resettlement in the US
The Biden/Harris administration has "super-charged" a "Lawful Pathways" program that has helped admit tens of thousands of people from Latin America.
The Safe Mobility Office Initiative, launched in May 2023 and given expanded capacity this spring, has worked to fly tens of thousands of people to the U.S. through the refugee resettlement process, despite those people being of nationalities that have rarely qualified for refugee status, according to a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis.
According to the report, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) personnel and United Nations have set up offices in Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and Guatemala that have granted refugee status to 21,000 people from seven different Latin American countries in the first year of the program, with half of those having already arrived in the country as of May.
The refugees are being flown to the U.S. from Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Guatemala, Ecuador and Colombia, the report notes, though even greater numbers may have been flown in through June and July after the administration expanded the program to allow for migrants from Honduras and El Salvador.
“The expansion of the program comes despite the U.S. traditionally only granting refugee status to individuals who can credibly claim that they cannot return to their home country out of a "well-founded fear" of persecution on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but the CIS analysis argued that many of those coming to the U.S. would more normally be classified as economic migrants.”
The report cites a 2024 Mixed Migration Centre survey of program participants that found 90% indicated they wanted to travel to the U.S. for economic opportunities and higher living standards, not to flee potential persecution.
“The administration has also raised the allotted slots to admit refugees from Latin America, from less than 5,000 when President Biden took office to 50,000 in 2024.”
… [Heritage Foundation’s Loro Ries] also argued …. that the speed of processing applications raises questions about how well the migrants are vetted.
"If you just set high numbers and then quickly adjudicate, grant, process, and resettle, then they’re not getting fully vetted," Ries said. "It used to take about a year or a year and a half to get through the entire refugee process."
But the CIS analysis indicates that the process for some migrants can be completed in a matter of days, something Ries called "ridiculous."
"That means no vetting is happening," Ries said. "So they have no idea who they’re letting in."
