Would restore case-by-case limits on immigration parole

James Lankford and 15 other Republican senators called for reforming the administration’s use of parole so decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, consistent with what they described as Congress’s original intent. They opposed using parole for people already present in the United States and said the authority should not be used to bypass screening, refugee processing, or immigration law.

Context: This position appeared in a June 21, 2024, joint letter signed by Lankford and 15 other senators.

In their own words

have sought to reform this authority to ensure that decisions regarding parole are restored to Congress’ original intent – ‘on a case-by-case basis’
