In this The Federalist article, Mark Krikorian warns that Biden’s border crisis will inevitably return under the next Democrat president unless Congress acts immediately to close the executive branch’s abused parole and Temporary Protected Status loopholes that created a massive shadow immigration system.
- Presidents from both parties have exploited parole and TPS to admit or shield millions of illegal aliens, granting work permits and Social Security numbers in direct circumvention of congressional limits.
- Biden’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas paroled nearly 3 million illegal aliens — more than all prior administrations combined — contributing to his impeachment by the House.
- TPS, intended for genuine short-term disaster relief, has become a de facto permanent amnesty for over 1.3 million illegals, renewed indefinitely despite its name.
- Together, parole and TPS account for roughly 25% of the illegal population, making removal far harder once work authorization is granted.
- The Trump administration is working to unwind these abuses, but legal challenges persist and a future Democrat president could restart the entire shadow system without new legislation.
- Congress must repeal TPS entirely, impose strict numerical caps on parole (3,000-5,000 per year max), and prohibit DHS from issuing work permits to anyone whose status does not expressly allow it.
- Without these reforms, presidents will continue taking an inch of discretion and turning it into millions of unauthorized entries and amnesties.
- Fixing these loopholes would preserve congressional authority over immigration, limit competition with American workers, and prevent the cycle of crisis from repeating.
