AUSTIN – Attorney General Paxton has filed a motion for preliminary injunction against a new Biden Administration visa program that will invite hundreds of thousands of aliens from certain foreign countries to be “paroled” and let loose into the U.S. every year. AG Paxton announced his lawsuit against this Biden Administration policy last month.
Promulgated
by the Department of Homeland Security, the new program involves the
Biden Administration proactively recruiting hundreds of thousands of
aliens while they are in their home countries and using taxpayer dollars
to fly them into interior cities around the country. These aliens could
then stay in the United States for years.
The steep costs of admitting hundreds of thousands of aliens—millions of dollars in spending on healthcare, law enforcement, and education—would
be a massive burden to Texas. For this reason, the motion for
preliminary injunction asks the Court to suspend the Biden
Administration’s unlawful parole program until a final hearing can be
held on the merits of the case.
“Instead
of rolling out the red carpet for hundreds of thousands of aliens and
using taxpayer dollars to bring them into the country, Joe Biden should
be focused on securing our border,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This
illegal parole program is yet another example of Biden and Mayorkas’s
desperation to ignore our nation’s laws to advance an open-borders
agenda. Though nothing about the lawlessness of the Biden Administration
has indicated that it even remotely cares about protecting our
sovereignty and bolstering our border security, I will continue to sue
to hold them to their duty to obey the law and protect American
citizens.”
