President Joe Biden's administration has promised to offer more legal options for Latin American migrants to come to the United States to be reunited with their families
prepares for the end of asylum restrictions
The centers will handle requests for family reunification parole, Mayorkas said, along with applications for the U.S. refugee program and humanitarian parole for those deemed to be particularly vulnerable, which is decided on a case-by-case basis.The new family reunification parole program is for immigrants from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and who have gotten approval for their petitions to bring over immediate family members.
Julia Gelatt of the Migration Policy Center said U.S. State Department data shows at least 284,000 Latin Americans have filed family sponsorship petitions. That includes 78,000 Salvadorans, and up to 57,000 Hondurans, 58,000 Guatemalans, and 56,000 Colombians.Immigration attorney Sarah Gavigan, who works at the Central American Resource Center or Carecen in San Francisco, also wondered if the 100,000 reflects the actual number of backlogged family petitions from those countries.
Mayorkas said after those legal options were put into place, the government saw a 95% drop in the number of encounters U.S. border officials had with migrants of those four nationalities. “It’s wonderful, but it’s very much a bucket emptying the ocean,” he said. “It’s not a sweeping thing that is going to modify the amount of people showing up at the border. It gives the administration another lever, but it isn’t going to overall change the immigration system.”Immigration attorney Curtis Morrison said only time will tell if the administration makes good on its promise.
