The Biden administration set up the system as part of a broader effort to discourage illegal immigration by offering migrants legal channels to come to the United States .

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end the system that allows migrants to be processed at ports of entry.

The CHNV initiative allows citizens of Cuba , Haiti , Nicaragua and Venezuela to fly to the U.S. if they have American sponsors.
