Fraud ran amuck.
Under former President Joe Biden, federal immigration policies led to thousands of fraudulent applications being submitted when 774,000 noncitizens were conceded parole from May 2022 through September 2024, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
Headed by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas from 2021 to 2025, a humanitarian parole program, under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), many were granted noncitizens temporary permission to stay in the United States if they had a sponsor, according to a story by The Epoch Times.
Nevertheless, thousands of applications and their sponsors were tied to crime or had counterfeit documents that used information by unknowing —and sometimes dead—U.S. citizens, the report showed.
“The findings are unsurprising and confirm that [President] Joe Biden’s open border policy prioritized aliens—including many fraudsters and violent criminals—over the safety of the American people,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesman Matthew J. Tragesse said in a statement to The Epoch Times on Dec. 18.
The puppeteers running Biden presidency by autopen also granted illegal social security numbers to millions of unvetted illegal aliens. They essentially invalidated your citizenship by making any invader a voter. pic.twitter.com/2jB2Btznfy

“His catch-and-release policies and lax screening enabled rampant fraud and jeopardized the safety of our communities and the integrity of our nation’s immigration system. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will not rest until this mess is cleaned up.”
Fraud was so rampant during the Biden era, according to the report, that what investigators found was, well, ridiculous. Many of the sponsors were dead, at least 1,400 of them, while others even used Elvis Presley’s social security number or those of other celebrities.
One person used a picture of former CBS journalist Connie Chung on their passport, while another created a driver’s license with an image of actress Coté de Pablo. More than 3,000 sponsor applications were accompanied by images of fraudulent U.S. passports.
“USCIS reviewers generally confirmed these supporter applications because they did not have the ability to verify information about U.S. citizen supporters who did not have a prior USCIS filing history,” the report said.
