The "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans" allow foreign nationals who have "Temporary authorization" to remain in the United States - such as on parole - to sponsor other foreign nationals in turn to come here on parole.
TPS is a designation that "Gives immigrants time-limited permission to live and work in the United States and avoid potential deportation." Yet someone with a "Limited permission to live here" can now sponsor a foreign national into the United States.
Although DED is "Not a specific immigration status, individuals covered by DED are not subject to removal from the United States for a designated period of time." So those who are granted DED, which is a benefit "Authorized at the discretion of the President of the United States that protects certain individuals from deportation" and allows them to live here "Temporarily", can now sponsor and decide who gets to join them and live in the United States.
rogram allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans and their family members to be released into the United States on parole and apply for employment authorization, provided U.S.-based supporters agree to provide them with financial support during their stay here.
The "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans" is modeled on the "Uniting for Ukraine" program designed by the same administration following the Russian invasion to offer Ukrainians a chance to come to the United States via parole.
Just like refugees who are "Privately" sponsored under the Welcome Corps program, these Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan parolees are flying straight into American communities without the knowledge of state and local officials or residents.
What is equally, if not especially puzzling, is that this administration is transferring power to parolees by allowing them to pick who gets to join them in the United States, to live and work here, under that same illusory, "Temporary", and highly ambiguous status.
