Biden Announces New Protections for Undocumented Immigrants
President Biden announced an executive action to protect about 500,000 undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from being deported and provide them with a pathway to citizenship.
A few days ago, we marked the 12th anniversary taking care of dreamers that President Obama and I put in place. There were a few of these immigrant — these immigration areas that have had most positive impact and gotten more support from the American people across the board. These young people known as Dreamers, Hispanics, South Asians and more who came to America as children only know America as their home have been able to live and learn out of the shadows. So today I’m announcing new measures to clarify and speed up work visas to help people, including Dreamers, who have graduated from U.S. colleges and universities, landed jobs in high-demand, high-skilled professions that we need to have grow — to see our economy grow. It’s the right thing to do. I’m announcing a common-sense fix to streamline the process for obtaining legal status for immigrants, married, excuse me, to American citizens who live, lived here and lived here for a long time. Let’s be clear. This action still requires undocumented spouses to file all required legal paperwork to remain in the United States. It requires them to pass a criminal background check. And it doesn’t apply to anyone trying to come here today.
