There are up to 500,000 immigrant wives of US citizens who are eligible to participate in a new program that was proposed by the Biden administration. This program will provide deportation protection, work permits, and a pathway to citizenship. The existing immigration laws force persons who crossed the border illegally to return to their home countries in order to complete the process of obtaining a green card. The purpose of this project is to alleviate the lengthy separations that families experience as a result of these laws of immigration.
The application period is expected to begin by the end of the summer, according to the officials, but the fees have not yet been decided upon. One of the most important directives issued during the Obama administration, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides young illegal immigrants with temporary work permits and protections against deportation, is celebrating its 12th anniversary at the same time as this announcement.

The officials in the White House have urged the members of the House of Representatives to come back to Washington for the announcement. In addition to this, Vice President Biden will propose new regulations that will make it simpler for certain DACA recipients and other young immigrants to fulfill the requirements for established work visas. These regulations will offer more strong protections than the temporary work permits that are offered by DACA.
By utilizing the “parole in place” authority, which was previously utilized by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama for family members of military people, the program is able to achieve its goals. Through this process, immigrants who meet the requirements can pursue permanent residency in the United States without having to leave the country. This removes a huge obstacle for those who do not have legal status but are married to residents of the United States.

This declaration comes after recent modifications to border policy made by Vice President Biden, which include the suspension of asylum applications for individuals who arrive outside of established ports of entry. Although this policy has resulted in fewer interactions at the border, it is currently being challenged in court by organizations that advocate for the rights of immigrants.
