The Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday that it plans to restart one of its controversial immigration programs — referred to as CHNV — that was briefly paused after the discovery of rampant fraud.
The administration’s CHNV program allows 30,000 individuals per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to immigrate to the United States. Beneficiaries are flown into the country and provided with a two-year work permit.
Applicants must pass a vetting process and have a U.S.-based sponsor to be eligible for the program.
