The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under President Joe Biden is facing criticism for its lack of transparency regarding the number of illegal aliens being released into American communities through its parole pipeline.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, led by Representatives James Comer and Glenn Grothman, sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas requesting a numerical breakdown of these releases. The committee members asked for the data to be provided by July 7th, but as of now, Mayorkas has not responded.
The letter was also signed by Representatives Paul Gosar, Virginia Foxx, Clay Higgins, Pete Sessions, Andy Biggs, Nancy Mace, Jake LaTurner, Pat Fallon, Kelly Armstrong, and Scott Perry. Despite the collective effort to obtain this information, Mayorkas has remained silent on the matter.
Estimates suggest that from January 2021 to February 2023, over 880,000 illegal aliens have been released into the United States interior through the parole pipeline at the border. However, it is important to note that these figures are not definitive, as the DHS actively conceals such data.
In April 2022 alone, it is estimated that more than 91,000 illegal aliens were released into American communities through Biden's parole pipeline. A previous report from Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee indicated that the majority of migrants who arrive at Ports of Entry at the U.S.-Mexico border are likely to be released into the nation's interior.
The lack of transparency from the DHS raises concerns about the administration's handling of immigration and border security. As Republicans continue to press for answers, the American public awaits a response from Secretary Mayorkas regarding the number of illegal aliens being released into their communities.
