Today, in what amounts to nothing less than a political stunt, President Joe Biden will grant affirmative relief to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. These law breakers refused to use appropriate channels to enter the U.S. legally. Yet Biden puts their “supposed rights” above the rights of those who work diligintly to become legal citizens appropriatels.
This in attempt to win back his office in what amounts to a failed presidency.
According to estimates from FWD.us, the Biden administration has introduced new measures to increase the availability of parole in place for approximately 500,000 long-term illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens. This temporary protection from deportation will allow recipients to apply for legal work authorization and potentially achieve lawful permanent residency. These crucial actions will reunite up to 2 million illegal aliens, including around 50,000 children and young adults in these households.
FWD.us, a liberal D.C. group, put out the following statement.
| WASHINGTON, D.C. – FWD.us President Todd Schulte issued the following statement today on President Biden’s announcement to grant affirmative immigration relief: |
| “Today marks a historic milestone in improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Dreamers and American families with undocumented members. “This is a tremendous step forward from President Biden, and a much-needed fulfillment of the promise to keep families together. “We celebrate alongside millions whose futures are brighter today, stand with those still awaiting similar protections, and renew our commitment to protecting this progress and fixing every aspect of our failed immigration system — including giving a pathway to citizenship to those who have waited too long.” |

The 212(d)(3) waiver is a critical tool that could help many DACA recipients and other Dreamers individuals be sponsored for temporary work visas, thereby securing their immigration status and opening up pathways to permanent residency, ultimately citizenship, and voting rights in the near future.
