Steve was quoted in White House Move Spells Doom for Migrant Program That’s Aided Untold Numbers in NY. Commenting on the Biden administration’s decision not to extend parole for certain people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, Steve noted that the program was established in part “to try to relieve some pressure on the U.S.-Mexico border.” He explained, “So the people would be coming legally if they could have a financial sponsor in the United States, rather than illegally and tak[ing] their chances, risking that dangerous journey. But it is temporary and it has worked to reduce the number of illegal entries at the border.” He noted that factors affecting the decision not to extend parole might include reports that the Venezuelan economy is improving.
