President Joe Biden‘s administration is set to resume an immigration program that was previously suspended due to fraud concerns.
On Thursday, the Biden administration announced that it was resuming an immigration program that permits migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States.
The program was previously suspended over fraud concerns, but the announcement today that the updated program will include “additional vetting” of their U.S.-based financial sponsors.
“Together with our existing rigorous vetting of potential beneficiaries seeking to travel to the United States, these new procedures for supporters have strengthened the integrity of these processes and will help protect against exploitation of beneficiaries,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, obtained by the Associated Press (AP).
