The number of Cubans with approved humanitarian parole increases to over one hundred thousand until May 2024.

The humanitarian parole program approved by President Joe Biden's administration in January 2023 has, as of May 2024, allowed 100,500 Cubans to travel to the United States "in a safe, orderly, and legal manner," according to recent data provided by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

This figure is part of the more than 462,100 Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and Cubans who arrived legally on commercial flights and were granted parole under these processes, which grant a maximum of 30,000 visas monthly for these nationalities.

"Specifically, approximately 100,500 Cubans, 193,400 Haitians, 87,800 Nicaraguans, and 113,400 Venezuelans were examined and authorized to travel," the document stated.

However, it clarifies that among them, approximately 98,200 Cubans, 177,100 Haitians, 80,700 Nicaraguans, and 106,100 Venezuelans arrived legally and were granted parole.

These numbers represent that more than seven thousand Cubans managed to enter the United States benefited by this program, compared to the previous month when the figure stopped at 91,000 people from the Caribbean island.

However, the Haitian community continues to be the fastest-growing in terms of entry of its nationals into US territory, thanks to humanitarian parole.

At the beginning of this month, President Joe Biden signed a group of executive actions that prevent irregular migrants from receiving asylum in the United States after crossing the border illegally.

The White House pointed out in an official statement that the "actions will be in effect when the high levels of encounters of illegal migrants at the Southern Border exceed the capacity to generate timely consequences, as is the case on this June 4th.

They claim that the measures approved by Biden will make it easier for immigration officers to deport those migrants who do not have a legal basis to stay in the United States. Another goal is to reduce the burden on Border Patrol agents.

The Biden Administration warns that Congress still needs to act to resolve the immigration issue at the border with Mexico, as the actions approved by the president do not provide the necessary personnel or funds to secure the situation.
