SLP, Mexico.- The governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be Secretary of Homeland Security, stated this Friday that if confirmed in the position, she would end the CBP One since day one.
Before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee for her confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Noem said that on the first day CBP One will close.
Naomi said that would immediately end Biden’s program that has allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter legally since 2023. He also suggested that he would stop the parole humanitarian law that allowed certain migrants with American sponsors to enter legally.
The US official described illegal immigration as an “invasion” and the border between the United States and Mexico as a “war zone.”
In turn, he stated that he would work to restore Trump’s “Stay in Mexico” program, which forced non-Mexican immigrants to wait in the Aztec country while they processed asylum cases in the United States, and which was dismantled by President Joe Biden. in 2021.
Last year, donald trump had announced that if he were re-elected he would eliminate the program parole humanitarian regime established by the Biden administration in January 2023, as well as the possibility of entering the country through the application CBP One.
His statements were made during a telephone interview with journalist Bill Melugin, from Fox News, where Trump was clear in his message to immigrants who have arrived under these two programs: “Prepare to leave,” he said.
His words caused unease among Cubans who have emigrated to the United States and among those who aspire to arrive through some of the legal channels established for this purpose.
In conversation with CubaNetJesús Novo, a lawyer specializing in immigration issues and belonging to the Gllardo Law Firm, clarified that Trump could eliminate the programs with a procedure simple: “With an executive action you can do it with the stroke of a pen, you can do it on the first day while in the office.”
However, Trump could not revoke the paroles granted because, according to Novo, the United States Constitution does not allow laws to be applied retroactively.
On the other hand, the laws do not allow Immigrationafter it has granted certain rights, withdraw them, except in very few cases where there is a national security problem or a very strong reason.
