Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the Biden administration over its new rule to permit hundreds of thousands of migrants into the country, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
Paxton is joined by more than one dozen Republican states that allege the program, which allows 30,000 migrants each month from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua to enter the country legally, misuses parole authority to quickly admit migrants into the country, according to a copy of the lawsuit. President Joe Biden unveiled the program on Jan. 5, following the highest month on record of migrant encounters at the southern border.
âThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS or Department), under the false pretense of preventing aliens from unlawfully crossing the border between the ports of entry, has effectively created a new visa programâ without the formalities of legislation from Congressâby announcing that it will permit up to 360,000 aliens annually from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to be âparoledâ into the United States for two years or longer and with eligibility for employment authorization,â the lawsuit asserts.
