The United States government has assisted more than 62,000 Cuban citizens through humanitarian parole.
As of January 2023, American President Joe Biden approved this route to allow Cubans to regularly emigrate to the northern country.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided information about the Latin American immigrants who came to the northern country on parole. In the last 11 months of the current year, 297,000 people were counted from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti.
Of these, a figure of more than 40%, i.e. over 120,000 Haitians, represents the highest number of emigrants among these countries. These data show a situation of ungovernability, economic crisis and a high level of violence that prevails in Haiti.
Venezuelans contribute more than a quarter of the total, with almost 81,000 emigrants. Of the countries that have the right to decide on parole, this South American population is the largest.
The CBP One app organizes the migration
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) admitted 54,000 Nicaraguans from January to November this year. This amount represents the lowest amount that emigrants contributed towards release on parole.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to implement the CBP One digital application to promote organized migration. Last month, CBP served more than 43,000 foreign nationals using CBP One.
CBP has set a standard of interviewing 1,450 aliens seeking asylum each day. Between May and November of this year, DHS deported more than 400,000 immigrants.
The North American Border Patrol (USBP) conducted more than 242,000 operations with migrants at the southwest border last month.
