Aliens who are paroled in the United States are only allowed to be here temporarily and under certain conditions prescribed by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Significantly, they do not undergo the same formal screening process that as those who apply for a green card or a visa. Parole was never meant to be a vehicle for massive number of immigrants coming into the country. (04:16–04:24)
