US would accept up to 30,000 migrants a month in expanded program - sources

The United States plans to accept up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti and Venezuela under a program paired with expulsions of people from those countries caught at the US-Mexico border, US and Mexican officials said.

The expanded humanitarian program would build on a policy launched in October that allowed thousands of Venezuelans to enter by air if they applied from abroad and could demonstrate they had a US sponsor, two US and one Mexican official said on Wednesday.
