More than 81,000 Cubans have been able to travel to the United States "in a safe, orderly and legal manner" thanks to the humanitarian parole program of the Joe Biden Administration, the Border Patrol (CBP) reported this Saturday.

The Cuban migration crisis continues unstoppable amid a deterioration in living conditions on the Caribbean island.

The Border Patrol notes that20,815 Cubans arrived at the country's borders in the second month of the year, while in January thefigure was 22,946.

Most of these entries were processed by the applicationCBP One.

The humanitarian parole faced a trial promoted by republican governments in the country. However, federal judge Drew Tipton of the court in Victoria, Texas, decided on March 8 that the program will continue.

The judge's decision is based on the fact that the21 Republican states who sued the federal government when this program was started could not prove that theparole has brought them significant damage.

The trial against the humanitarian parole that began in August of last year has brought much concern to the citizens of the four countries involved.

Recently the administration of the presidentJoe Biden He assured that he would fight to maintain theparole humanitarian, an initiative that has contributed to controlling the irregular migratory flow across the southern border with Mexico.
