President Joe Biden announced a new program Thursday to allow nationals of Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua to travel by air to the United States and apply for work authorization.
Biden announced the program in conjunction with a package of border enforcement plans. The Department of Homeland Security said it is based on similar programs for Venezuelans and Ukrainians launched last year.
Key Points:
Additional Information: DHS said the forthcoming border measures were designed to “limit irregular migration” and create “safe and orderly processes for people fleeing humanitarian crises” to come to the United States. The agency urged individuals to apply for travel authorization online and said they should not approach the U.S.-Mexico border to apply. More information is available on USCIS’ Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans page.
