The Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) Parole Pathways were created by the Biden administration in 2023 as a way for certain nationals from these countries to apply for entry to the U.S. for a temporary stay of up to two years. A new study from FWD.us has just revealed that not only are they successful at reducing unauthorized migration to the United States-Mexico border, but they significantly reduce the need to rely on public resources and lower costs incurred by welcoming cities and states.
Modeled after the Ukraine initiative, the CHNV pathways have allowed nearly 500,000 people to safely enter the U.S. with sponsors, housing, and support systems in place. The study revealed that the program has had a marked impact on reducing unauthorized migration.
