U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest statistics Monday, showing nearly 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. and were paroled into the country as part of the Biden administration’s controversial mass parole program for those migrating from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV).
The August report includes data after the Department of Homeland Security resumed processing new Advance Travel Authorizations (ATAs) in the parole process for the CHNV program.
After an internal review, DHS implemented additional safeguards to the CHNV processes, including the rigorous enhanced vetting of U.S.-based supporters and the inclusion of biographic and biometric screening.
CBP said in a press release Monday that all CHNV beneficiaries continue to be screened and vetted by CBP before arriving in the U.S. and must meet additional criteria in order to travel to the U.S. once they purchase their own commercial airline tickets.

The data shows that nearly 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. and were paroled. It also shows that about 813,000 migrants have scheduled appointments that were made on the CBP One app at ports of entry, to be released into the U.S.
Both are considered “lawful pathways” into the U.S. and were created by the Biden administration.
But the numbers do not count in data from the Border Patrol because they are not considered illegal crossings.
