Joe Biden has made more use of immigration “parole” than any American president to bypass an uncooperative Congress, but he’s hardly the first. The presidential power faces a key test in this year's race for the White House. It has been a centerpiece of Biden’s strategy to channel immigrants through legal pathways and discourage illegal crossings. That's a radical difference from his rival Donald Trump. Biden granted parole for at least 1 million temporary visits, which generally include eligibility to work. Trump has said he would end the “outrageous abuse of parole.”
