20 Red States Join America First Legal, File Emergency Lawsuit Against Joe Biden’s New Migrant Parole Program

An emergency lawsuit has been filed in an effort to stop Joe Biden’s new immigration program. America First Legal, partnered with a coalition of 20 state attorneys general to stop the program they believe is unlawful.

Earlier this month, the Biden announced a new program that would allow people from specific countries to be paroled for a couple of years while their claims are processed. Those who have decided to come to America from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela are eligible for the program. They are supposed to apply from where they are at before coming and must have a sponsor here in the United States.

Biden announced they would be able to work legally in the United States, under the new program and that the program would admit 30,000 individuals a month.

Below is Biden’s announcement of the new program.

This action was taken by Biden’s Administration without Congress.

America First Legal President Steven Miller issued a statement on the litigation:

“Since our inception nearly two years ago, America First Legal has been at the forefront of the legal battle to save America’s borders from complete annihilation at the hands of this lawless administration. Just days ago, Biden announced a radical new proposal to accelerate mass migration into the United States by pre-clearing unauthorized foreign aliens for parole into the country, while admitting hundreds of thousands of more illegal aliens at our ports of entry. This is pre-amnesty for what would be illegal aliens before they even arrive at our borders. In other words, it is the equivalent of DACA for noncitizen aliens living outside our borders who have no right to be here, who will now be flown to the United States with work permits and guaranteed admission for the clear purpose of permanent resettlement.”

“This is a dramatic escalation in the open borders crusade – not only is Biden freely admitting illegal aliens who arrive at our borders, but he is now going to foreign countries to pre-approve innumerable illegal aliens to flood into our country without any legal basis whatsoever. It is illegal, unconstitutional, and contemptible. So once again, we are proudly joining with Texas, the incredible Attorney General Ken Paxton, and a coalition of nineteen states to file this urgent lawsuit demanding an immediate cessation and halt to Biden’s treacherous scheme to flood our country with even more unauthorized mass migration. America First Legal will not relent in defense of our sovereign borders.” 

The lawsuit has been filed in Texas. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been joined by the attorney generals from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming in the effort to stop the program.
