Biden Let Aliens Overstay Expired Parole As Dems Push To Give Free Health Care To Parolees — Explainer

What it is

As Democrats advocate for providing free health care to illegal immigrants with parole status, a recent report indicates that the Biden administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has allowed many illegal aliens to remain in the United States after their parole expired.

Why it matters

  • The report suggests that under current DHS policies, these individuals could remain unlawfully in the U.S. without facing enforcement actions
  • The Federalist reported that the parole status for many of these aliens was granted as part of the Biden administration's broader approach to immigration enforcement, which has been criticized for lacking rigor
  • Parole is intended to be granted on a limited basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit
  • However, critics argue that the Biden administration has exploited this function to facilitate the entry of millions of illegal immigrants into the country, while also making them eligible for health benefits
  • The ongoing debate over health care for parolees has intensified, particularly as Republicans have tightened eligibility requirements in recent legislation
  • Citizenship and Immigration Services USCIS, to enforce parole expirations as mandated by federal law
