"I hope Biden follows through, sees firsthand that the border is NOT secure & REMOVES Secretary Mayorkas immediately." President Biden on Thursday used a major White House speech to announce expanded border measures, ahead of his first-ever visit to the besieged southern border next week — as his administration struggles to deal with a historic surge in migrants.

Biden announced an expansion of a humanitarian parole program for Venezuelan nationals to include Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans.

Those who attempt to enter illegally are made ineligible for the program. Read more HERE. |
