Through a report carried out at Miami International Airport, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shared information about the increase in fraud cases in relation to humanitarian parole.
Immigrants from certain countries in conflict have the possibility of accessing US territory and residing legally through humanitarian parole, a benefit promoted by the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Although the benefit includes certain requirements, and asks interested parties to present different types of documents and evidence, many people use false documents to obtain the permit. In dialogue with Telemundo 51, the supervisor of the CBP ATA unit, Otto Vázquez, explained that They have specific systems to detect if the documents were altered or are false.
In that sense, Vázquez said that “it has happened that we receive ATA (Travel Authorization) letters that are fabricated or altered,” and later clarified that “I cannot give many specifications of how they have done it, but I can tell you that they are not “genuine.”
Those people who are caught with false documentation abide by the consequences dictated by CBP. “If you come to us with a forged letter, there will be consequences and they will be negative,” she stressed. In addition, foreigners who present themselves with false documentation and do not have their own identification may face charges for not having a valid document to enter the United States, a situation that is inadmissible for the authorities.
The prevention of agencies on fraud in humanitarian parole
For his part, the USCIS takes its own preventive measures to prevent document falsification and fraud cases related to humanitarian parole.. “The agency carefully reviews each potential sponsor, through a process focused on security and anti-fraud, before confirming each I-134 A form,” he explained in dialogue with NBCNews.
