A new legal immigration pathway for immigrants from Ecuador has been implemented by the Biden administration to help slow the influx of illegal immigrants trekking to enter the United States at its border with Mexico.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Family Reunification Parole (FRP) allows U.S-based Ecuadorians to sponsor immediate family members abroad to come into the country legally.
