President Donald Trump is moving swiftly to undo a lax immigration policy from the Biden years, revoking the legal status of more than 532,000 migrants who entered the U.S. through a parole program that Republicans have long criticized as a backdoor for unchecked entry. CBS News reported that these migrants, hailing from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, will see their “work permits and deportation protections” terminated in April, ending a scheme that let them fly into the country under the guise of reducing illegal border crossings. It’s a clear signal—America’s borders aren’t a free-for-all anymore.

The Department of Homeland Security laid out the plan with precision, stating in a notice, “The Department of Homeland Security (‘DHS’) is terminating the categorical parole programs for inadmissible aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members (hereinafter referred to as ‘CHNV parole programs’) that DHS announced in 2022 and 2023.” This isn’t just bureaucratic housekeeping—it’s a deliberate rollback of a program that padded the numbers with little oversight, a point driven home by a House Judiciary Committee report in early March showing Biden’s expansion of Temporary Protected Status and CHNV let millions slip in “with little to no vetting.” Republicans see this as a victory for accountability—82 percent speech approval from Trump’s March 4 address proves voters wanted this cleanup.

The CHNV program, paused shortly after Trump took office, allowed 532,000 migrants to enter under what the Biden administration pitched as a legal pathway—an effort CBS News noted was “designed to reduce illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border by giving would-be migrants legal migration avenues.” Yet, the reality was far messier—Fox News reported in August 2024 that DHS halted travel authorizations after an internal review uncovered “large amounts of fraud in applications” from sponsors, a red flag that underscored the program’s chaos. Republicans argue this was inevitable—handing out permits without scrutiny was a recipe for abuse, and now Trump’s putting the brakes on it.

For hardworking Americans who’ve borne the cost of porous borders, this is a breath of fresh air—our immigration system should prioritize citizens, not cater to fraudsters. The administration’s firm stance reflects a broader commitment to restore order where Biden’s policies sowed disorder—97 percent GOP approval backs a leadership that’s tackling the mess head-on, not kicking it down the road.

Critics on the left will likely wail about compassion—but that rings hollow when the system’s been gamed at taxpayers’ expense. Voters from rural heartlands to urban centers see through the sob stories—they want security and fairness, and Trump’s delivering both.

This isn’t a minor tweak—it’s a cornerstone of a larger effort to reclaim control over who enters our country. Republicans trust this team to follow through—stripping legal status from over half a million sends a message that loopholes are closing.

America’s watching a president who keeps his word—Trump’s not letting Biden’s lax legacy linger. Republicans stand united—securing our borders isn’t negotiable, and this rollback is a win worth celebrating!
