Former President Donald Trump says the Biden-Harris administration is helping immigrants bypass the border to "fly them over in airplanes" The process is known as parole and is a valid immigration process for admitting non-U.S. citizens into the country.

In less than two years , more than 786,000 immigrants have been paroled into the U.S. , data shows.

Every month , the Biden-Harris administration allows 30,000 immigrants to enter the U.S. through the CHNV program.

It was created nearly two years ago to stop the massive numbers of immigrants from those four countries from illegally crossing the land border.

Republicans say it is because of the backchannel to fly immigrants in and not be counted, while Democrats say the CBP One app deters illegal immigration.

The high number of parolees is a national security concern, according to House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) Green drew attention in September to a Haitian immigrant who had been admitted and allowed to fly into the country through the CHNV program and was arrested by local police on suspicion of molesting a 10-year-old child in Massachusetts .
