DHS warns Mexico may stop taking back some illegal immigrants if key policy blocked, triggering new 'surge'
Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security fears a new "surge" in migrants if a key border policy that allows 30,000 migrants from four countries to enter the U.S. a month is blocked.
Those approved are flown into the U.S., paroled and allowed to apply for work permits if they meet certain conditions, such as having a sponsor and passing background checks. The policy forms part of the administration’s efforts to tackle the border crisis in part by expanding what it says are lawful migration pathways.

Twenty GOP-led states sued to block the policy, claiming that it represents an abuse of parole — which is specified by Congress to only be used on a "case-by case" basis for "urgent humanitarian need or significant public benefit." The administration says it is confident that its use of parole is legal, and has also said that it is necessary due to the difficulties in sending nationals back to those countries.
