Former President Donald Trump announced that if he wins the November elections, he will eliminate the humanitarian parole program that the Biden administration implemented in January 2023.
According to Fox journalist Bill Melugin, Trump told him that if elected, he would immediately put an end to the CBP One mobile application and the CHNV flight program [acronym for humanitarian parole for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans].
"And it would revoke the humanitarian parole concessions for the 1.3 million migrants who have already been allowed to enter the United States through those Biden programs," he specified.
"He tells me that his message to those migrants is 'get ready to leave,'" Melugin noted on his Twitter account.
The reporter added that when asking Kamala Harris's campaign whether she would maintain the controversial parole programs if she succeeds, they did not respond.
They only sent him a statement promoting the candidate's experience as a Democratic prosecutor and expressing support for the bipartisan border agreement.
"That bill would have ended the conditional freedoms of the CBP One mobile phone application, but it would have kept the migrant flight program of CHNV in effect," Melugin noted.
"Between 70,000 and 80,000 immigrants can legally enter the United States each month through the two combined Biden programs. They are not counted in the Border Patrol data because they are not illegal crossings and completely bypass the Border Patrol," he detailed.
In May, Trump stated that if he is re-elected, he will carry out the largest deportation operation in the history of the United States.
In an interview with Time magazine, he emphasized the need to address what he considers "an unsustainable migration crisis for the country," utilizing the Police, the Army, and not ruling out the creation of detention camps for immigrants.
"We have no other option," he assured.
"Probably 15 million and maybe up to 20 million by the time Biden leaves. Twenty million people, many of them from jails, many of them from prisons, many of them from mental institutions," he noted.
The billionaire has the backing of the Republican Party, which in July approved an electoral program that includes the largest deportation of migrants in the history of the country in the event that its candidate wins the presidential elections.
