The CHNV Humanitarian Parole Program provides a valuable legal pathway for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and other countries, but its success depends on ensuring that participants make active contributions to the U.S. economy and society. To accomplish this, the program should require thorough background checks, mandatory check-ups, and regular evaluations of employment, community involvement, and English proficiency. Attending these check-ups and showing positive economic and social contributions would demonstrate participants’ commitment. Missing check-ups or not contributing meaningfully would lead to deportation and a five-year bar from reapplying. These standards highlight the program’s focus on accountability, ensuring that only those dedicated to contributing remain involved.
English proficiency should also be a strict requirement within the first year, as language skills are vital for job access, community engagement, and self reliance. Participants should be responsible for funding their own English classes, or they could work to earn access to these classes, emphasizing their commitment to personal growth and integration. With immigrants historically playing a foundational role in building and strengthening American society, this approach continues that legacy, giving newcomers the opportunity to enrich the country while meeting clear standards. By supporting participants’ success and establishing clear requirements, the CHNV program can foster positive contributions that honor the long standing role of immigrants in making America strong
