Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Monday he will use an obscure migration rule — humanitarian parole — to import families into the United States because a parent was temporarily separated from one of their children by Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies against illegal migration.
Despite this announcement, open-border activists say it is not sufficient because the humanitarian parole status is technically temporary.
Describing Trump’s policy to secure the U.S. border with Mexico with a wall and an agreement with Mexico to keep migrants in that country while their refugee claims were being litigated as one of Trump’s “most widely condemned legacies,” Forbes magazine reported.
