US Weighs Opening Venezuela Asylum Program To Nicaraguans, Haitians, Cubans

The Biden administration is considering a major expansion of an asylum
program that originally targeted Venezuelans, The Wall Street Journal
reported Tuesday night. Specifically, the program would widen to
encompass migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti.

With an eye on decreasing illegal southern border crossings, the
program lets migrants from Venezuela apply for asylum from overseas
and then fly to the United States. Under the proposal, that privilege
would be extended to three more countries.

The news comes on the heels of jarring images from El Paso on Sunday
night, as an estimated 1,500 migrants poured across the Rio Grande in
a matter of hours. Mostly from Nicaragua, the throng assembled in long
lines on the American side to take their turn surrendering to border
authorities.

    Referring to President Biden, one Nicaraguan man told Reuters, "He
is the only president who will help us, we know he will open the door
for us."

U.S. authorities have posted a record-high 2 million arrests at the
border over the past year, and the numbers are straining both
government and private resources along the frontier.

    My latest dispatch from El Paso: It's not LA, Seattle, or any
other city with a homeless problem. Released migrants are staying and
sleeping on the cold streets of El Paso because there is no room at
local shelters due to the spike in illegal crossings:

Even if the proposed asylum-policy expansion manages to put a dent in
illegal border crossings, the ease of applying from home would
conceivably cause a big spike in the total number of asylum-seekers.

Border officials are bracing for the Dec. 21 expiration of Title 42, a
Covid-19-era Trump policy that lets the Border Patrol summarily turn
away migrants at the border -- including those who were seeking
asylum. The policy's purported intent was to prevent transmission of
the virus. In November, a federal judge ruled the policy is illegal.

That means the brisk business at the border is about to surge even
higher. While considering it an unlikely worst-case scenario,
officials are now planning for 20,000 migrants a day crossing into the
country after Title 42 vanishes on Dec. 21.

The Journal reports that the administration is reportedly debating
potential immigration deterrence measures. One proposal: Restoring a
Trump policy -- the "transit ban" -- that rejected asylum requests
from migrants who passed through another country en route to the U.S.
without asking that other country for asylum first.

Meanwhile, Venezuela isn't accepting its citizens who are deported
from the United States. Biden administration officials are talking to
their Mexican counterparts, with hopes the country will keep taking
such deportees off America's hands.
