A federal parole program approved by the Biden Administration earlier this year has sent a soaring number of undocumented migrants pouring into Florida.
Sunshine State migrant encounters rocketed from 35,349 in fiscal year 2022 to 236,691 in fiscal year 2023 — an increase of 550%, the numbers show.
The surge stems largely from a special Department of Homeland Security program for Haitian, Venezuelan, Cuban and Nicaraguan asylum seekers.
The program allows undocumented people “outside of the United States” to request parole in the US based on “urgent humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons,” according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
