The programs-&#8220;Uniting for Ukraine,&#8221; &#8220;Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans,&#8221; and &#8220;Family Reunification Parole&#8221;-were found to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-reserve-admits-it-failed-in-lead-up-to-silicon-valley-bank-collapse\/\" title=\"Federal Reserve Admits It ... in Lead up to Silicon Valley Bank Collapse\">weak internal controls<\/a>, enabling the use of fraudulent documents such as fake U.S. sponsors, with applicants even submitting Social Security numbers belonging to celebrities like Elvis presley, and photos of public figures such as Connie Chung and Cote de Pablo. Border officers often failed to verify backgrounds or question migrants about their eligibility, resulting in exploitable scams and the potential infiltration of criminals and human traffickers. The audit criticized the administration&#8217;s failure to detect obvious fraud as it sought to admit millions through parole authority, a program also analyzed by immigration experts who highlighted that over 2.8 million individuals were admitted without visas under Biden&#8217;s policies. Although some parts of the program were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sean-parnell-abuse-allegations-hit-buzzsaw-pennsylvania-republican-testifies-wife-presented-photo-of-bruised-child-who-wasnt-his\/\" title=\"Sean Parnell Abuse Allegations Hit Buzzsaw: Pennsylvania Republican Testifies Wife Presented Photo of Bruised Child \u2013 Who Wasn\u2019t His\">eventually shut<\/a> down due to the fraud, many admitted continue to remain in the country. The Trump administration, which ended these programs at the start of its term, has distanced itself from the fraud issues and stated it is working to address parole overstays.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden OK&rsquo;d illegal immigrants &lsquo;Elvis Presley&rsquo; and &lsquo;Connie Chung&rsquo; into US<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2422284\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A trio of little-known Biden administration <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/policy\/immigration\/\">immigration<\/a> programs that let 774,000 illegal immigrants into the United States were plagued with &ldquo;widespread&rdquo; fraud that opened the door to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/france-accuses-uk-of-running-a-quasi-modern-slavery-economy-for-illegal-migrants\/\" title=\"France Accuses UK of Running a \u2018Quasi...Modern Slavery\u2019 Economy for Illegal Migrants\">human trafficking networks<\/a>, drug cartels, and even murderers, says a new audit.<\/p>\n<p>In a damning review of former President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3790762\/airbnb-co-founder-says-bidens-border-crisis-drove-him-to-leave-the-democratic-party\/\">Joe Biden&rsquo;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/instantly-iconic-nypd-tears-down-palestinian-flag-after-taking-back-campus-raises-american-flag\/\" title=\"Iconic Moment: NYPD Removes Palestinian Flag, Raises American Flag\">immigration policy failures<\/a>, the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/products\/gao-26-107433\">Government Accountability Office<\/a> said the administration failed to catch even the most obvious fraud as it pushed to let in millions of immigrants through the so-called &ldquo;parole&rdquo; program.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3918596\/new-tds-height-atlantic-david-frum-warns-trump-could-block-critics-voting\/\">New TDS height: Atlantic&rsquo;s Frum warns Trump could block critics from voting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3917983\/doom-loop-loosens-trump-gop-turnaround\/\">&lsquo;Doom loop&rsquo; loosens around Trump and GOP in start of &lsquo;turnaround&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3916973\/trump-slows-bleeding-of-independent-voters\/\">Trump slows bleeding of independent voters: White House Report Card<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>For example, the program required migrants to have a U.S. sponsor, and many of those filed fraudulent documents.
