— The first group of migrants allowed to come to the U.S. legally under an expanded private sponsorship immigration process arrived earlier this week, just days afterby the Biden administration to discourage illegal border crossings, government figures obtained by CBS News show.
Those processed under the sponsorship initiative will be granted parole, a quasi-immigration status that allows them to legally enter, live and work in the U.S. on humanitarian or public interest grounds. The Biden administration has used the same authority to resettle tens of thousands of Ukrainian and Afghan refugees.
Illegal border crossings have dropped sharply since the measures were announced, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News, requesting anonymity to describe internal data. U.S. border agents are averaging 4,000 daily migrant apprehensions, down from a 7,000 daily average in November, the official said.
The Biden administration also announced it would increase expedited deportations of migrants who can't be processed under Title 42, as well as a proposed regulation that would render migrants ineligible for While the new measures appear to have led to an immediate reduction in illegal border crossings, their long-term impact is unclear. Mr. Biden's revamped border strategy has also garnered criticism from the right and left.
In a private briefing with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last week, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus expressed several concerns about the border enforcement policies, particularly the proposal to disqualify some migrants from asylum. The proposal, they noted, resembles a Trump administration asylum restriction that was blocked in federal court.
That should be the right approach immigration. Speed up processing of legal immigrants, create more opportunities for the skilled to immigrate to the US and fortify border defenses and legslmeasures to keep out illegal immigrants.
FAKE A$$ NEWS

F A K E N E W S !
Horseshit.
No more about Biden and Title42 from gopcongress? Still editing on Hunter imaginary laptops? Where's Rudy?
I don't want to hear 'illegal' border crossings have dropped. I want to hear they have ended. How is the border wall not part of our defense spending? We sent $140 billion to Ukraine for their invasion. What about our invasion?
Liars

Sure they have liars.
And let's not forget that they just announced this one week ago. What a joke this admin is, they are the most incompetent bunch of liars we have ever had.
Joe Bidnet told them to wait in Mexico until he can find the 5 million that crossed illegally already. Joe will then contact them by taxpayers cell phones he bought them when to start coming over a-gain.
