In an effort to alleviate congestion at the U.S. southern border, the Biden administration has announced plans to permit entry to tens of thousands of eligible asylum seekers fleeing the economic and humanitarian crisis of Venezuela.
The plan, which is effective immediately, will create a pathway for up to 24,000 eligible Venezuelans to lawfully enter the United States on the condition that they have someone in the country who can financially support them and that they didn’t illegally enter Mexico or Panama in order to do so.
“Venezuelans should not travel to Mexico to pursue entry into the United States,” the Department of Homeland Security said.
On the other hand, Venezuelans who do not qualify and enter the United States between ports of entry will be returned to Mexico and will be made ineligible to gain admittance through the newly created pathway in the future.
“These actions make clear that there is a lawful and orderly way for Venezuelans to enter the United States, and lawful entry is the only way,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement. “Those who follow the lawful process will have the opportunity to travel safely to the United States and become eligible to work here.”
The program, which is the result of an agreement with Mexico, is derived from the Biden administration’s effort unveiled in April to provide 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s war entry to the United States and aims to combat surging numbers of migrants arriving at the U.S. southern border.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, a record of more than 2 million encounters were tallied at the U.S.-Mexico border this fiscal year. Officials said about 1 million of those migrants were expelled under Title 42, a COVID-19 border protection.
The surge is attributed to asylum seekers fleeing authoritarian regimes in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, which accounted for 35% of all encounters and an increase of 175% from a year prior.
Homeland Security officials said nearly four times as many Venezuelans this year attempted to cross the southern border compared to a year earlier.
“This effort is intended to enhance border security by reducing the number of Venezuelans seeking to irregularly enter the United States,” the Department of Homeland Security said.
Mexico said in a statement that as part of the agreement it will temporarily allow some Venezuelan citizens rejected from the United States under Title 42 for humanitarian reasons entry within its borders.
Coinciding with the move, the Department of Homeland Security announced an additional 65,000 H2-B visas for temporary non-agricultural workers, of which 20,000 will be allotted for people from Central America and Haiti. This number is on top of the 66,000 H-2B visas that are normally available each year.
Mexico said that plan prioritizes entry by air instead of over the U.S.-Mexico border with the “shared goal of ensuring orderly, safe, regular and humane migration.”

“In an effort to alleviate congestion at the U.S. southern border, the Biden administration has announced plans to permit entry to tens of thousands of eligible asylum seekers fleeing the economic and humanitarian crisis of Venezuela.”
So now this treasonous Biden cabal administration has found a way to legally import tens of thousands of illegal immigrants.
The Cons, lies, hypocrisy and treachery of the treasonous, socialist Democrat Party know no bounds.
Do you think New York, Chicago and Martha’s Vineyard will except them with open arms?
Do the U.S. citizen tax payers welcome more immigrants to support during our own economic crisis?
This Treasonous, dishonest, destructive, Socialist Democrat Party’s objective is to deliberately lie, cheat. and steal. To disregard the U.S. Constitution and laws, in order to take total control of the American people and their illegal immigrants by their restricting U.S. citizens their constitutional rights, stopping oil production, increase Taxes and the inflation cost of everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees and to promote Socialism, enforced by their political DOJ and police gestapo the FBI and IRS.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
No matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
This treasonous, hateful, destructive, immoral, socialist Democrat Party and their corrupt, demented puppet president has become our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
Our future socially failed Americans will look back in history and scratch their heads saying to themselves “Who would have ever thought that the fall of our great republic was brought on by unarmed, economic, and social program destroying invaders from central and South America who financially and culturally took down a once great nation by invading and overwhelming with drugs, human need and hunger, the stability of the nation under the disguise of worldwide social sanctuary, social equity, without firing a shot?” Who needs nukes when it is so much easier to buy the politicians in power with laundered drug money, bribes and legal consequential corruption. Trying to alleviate infinite worldwide need with finite domestic wealth is proving our undoing and THE PEOPLE had better act soon or we will all be living in the equality of worldwide poverty, crime and social violence. Time is running out and not just for the Democrat party before an election, but the safety and security of the entire country forever.
WHEN they ruined their OWN nation, that should have been a BIG RED FLAG to us all, NEVER TO ALLOW THEM INTO OUR Own nation!
where are the republicans on this?
if it was reversed the demoncrats would be filing injuctions and raising bloddy hell to every court in the land.
so where are the republicans?
Cowering under tables most likely.
If an American President announced to the leaders of immigrant invading countries like Venezuela were advised that their young men upon entering would be immediately organized into military units for return and overthrow of their governments, I guarantee you the illegal entry would cease immediately. No CIA drop, abandon and defeat, like in the Cuban missile era failed invasion, but backed by U.S. ships, air power and modern weapons of mass socialist destruction. Seized Venezuelan oil properties could finance the operation and lower the price of energy here at home.
OR if they announced “ALL future deportees, will be AIR DROPPED BACK over their home towns, WITHOUT A PARACHUTE from 20,000 feet up.. That would also drop the # of those wishing to invade.
inlum, that’s a good idea. Required service for at least 2 years for staging coups of the corrupt governments they fled. And yep, seizing the Venezuela oil from the cretins controlling it now would be icing on the cake. However, it’s so good of an idea . . . it’ll likely never happen. Sigh.
In an effort to alleviate congestion at the U.S. southern border
We can’t have congestion or inconvenience to the illegals pouring across the border, must get more of them here faster before Biden’s *** is thrown out of office.
THE Congestion, is IN CONGRESS…
We should not believe anything that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tells us, nor the other members of this corrupt administration.
The Cons, lies, hypocrisy and treachery of the treasonous, socialist Democrat Party know no bounds.
The only thing that anyone can depend on with this self-serving, corrupt, treasonous, immoral, socialist Democrat Party
IS THAT THEY LIE, CON and DECIEVE.
“We, the people” should be able to bring back Title 42 or propose something similar. Our own citizens are being ignored cause now our tax dollars are being allocated to take care of the illegal invaders. Remember it was stated that venezuela had release many of the criminals so they can come here. Whether true or not, I am certain all those coming here are not all upstanding law abiding people.
What will these illegals do when Democrats turn the USA into the socialist/communist hellholes they left behind? That is the purpose of the climate change scheme, to destroy the economy of the USA and turn us into a third world atheist failed state.
AND why would any sane nation, KEEP INVITING MORE AND MORE folk in, WHO LET THEIR OWN NATIONS go into ruin, unless those politicians goal, WAS TO SEE THIS NATION RUINED TOO!??!
Aren’t immigrants entering our country supposed to IMPROVE it? Like scientists, engineers, doctors, nurses, skilled tradesmen, i.e. people who will CONTRIBUTE and be productive, not be a drain on taxpaying citizens. Where on God’s green earth does it say the U.S. is supposed to be the world’s police force, nanny, and medical care/transportation/housing/food provider? SECURE THE BORDER!
IT DOESN”T say that anywhere. bUT the dems don’t care.

I have not read or heard that 1 million had been expelled under title 42. Biden had always been fighting to do away with title 42 even during the highth of Covid.
