Biden Administration Restarts Immigration Sponsorship Program
News summary

The Biden administration has resumed its immigration program allowing up to 30,000 migrants monthly from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S., following a temporary suspension due to fraud concerns. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented enhanced vetting procedures for U.S.-based sponsors, which now include fingerprint submissions and closer scrutiny of financial and criminal records. Initially launched in early 2023, this program aims to create legal pathways for migrants and reduce illegal border crossings, but it has faced criticism from Republicans who argue it undermines immigration laws. An internal review indicated some instances of fraud among sponsors, prompting the need for stricter measures. The program allows migrants to travel to the U.S. and offers them protection from deportation and work permits for two years. Critics continue to voice concerns regarding the program's scope and costs to states, with legal challenges anticipated from several states.
