Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., slammed the Biden administration's recent illegal immigrant amnesty proposal as 'abuse' of the president's parole authority.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., vowed to investigate President Biden's 'lawless plans for amnesty' and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' 'ongoing abuse of parole authority' hours after the administration unveiled new immigration rules shielding migrant spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation. 'Amnesty for illegal aliens is absolutely unacceptable,' Hawley wrote in a letter to Mayorkas on Tuesday morning.
And you have likewise failed to abide by the explicit statutory limitations: leaked documents reveal that Jose Ibarra, accused of murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley, was paroled into the country on the basis of 'lack of detention capacity.' That is not a permissible basis for parole,' Hawley wrote. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Homeland Security sources previously told Fox News Digital that Ibarra – a Venezualan migrant – illegally crossed into the U.S.
The White House said it expected the policy to offer protection to about half a million American families, which would include roughly 50,000 under the age of 21 who are married to or children of a U.S. citizen. A White House fact sheet provided to Fox News Digital on the plan laid out the eligibility requirements for the new rules, including that spouses of Americans must have resided in the U.S. for 10 years or more and be legally married to a U.S.
Last week, Mayorkas faced criticism from Republican lawmakers over a report that hundreds of thousands of foreign asylum seekers had their cases closed without a ruling, ushering in a sort of 'mass amnesty.' Since 2022, the administration has closed over 350,000 asylum cases for migrants without recorded criminal histories, according to data from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan organization that monitors immigration cases and backlogs.
