A Biden/Harris administration program has allowed tens of thousands of migrants from Latin America fly to the U.S. as refugees despite the majority being economic migrants.
The Biden/Harris administration has 'super-charged' a 'Lawful Pathways' program that has helped admit tens of thousands of people from Latin America. The Safe Mobility Office Initiative, launched in May 2023 and given expanded capacity this spring, has worked to fly tens of thousands of people to the U.S.
The refugees are being flown to the U.S. from Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Guatemala, Ecuador and Colombia, the report notes, though even greater numbers may have been flown in through June and July after the administration expanded the program to allow for migrants from Honduras and El Salvador. The expansion of the program comes despite the U.S.
In the refugee pathway, we aim to resettle between 35,000 and 50,000 individuals in Fiscal Year 2024, an historic and ambitious goal that would amount to an increase in refugee resettlement from the Western Hemisphere of over 450 percent from last year,' Marta Youth, the principal deputy assistant secretary for the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugee and Migration, said in testimony before a congressional committee in March.
