There is a new path to the United States for Ecuadorians. The Joe Biden announced a program that benefits citizens from one of the countries that have experienced the highest rates of emigration to the U.S. in recent months.

The Department of Homeland Security announced a family reunification parole process that facilitates legal immigration for family members of Ecuadorians who are permanently established in the United States. The aim is to stop the pace of irregular crossings, which in 2023 reached the highest levels in four years.

“Establishing this process for certain Ecuadorian nationals will ensure more families can access lawful pathways rather than placing themselves at the mercy of smugglers to make the dangerous journey,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, on Wednesday.

“Ecuadorians who do not avail themselves of family reunification parole or other lawful, safe, and orderly pathways and attempt to enter the United States unlawfully will continue to face tough consequences.”
