THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW IMMIGRATION POLICY THAT WILL SHIELD UNDOCUMENTED SPOUSES OF U.S. CITIZENS FROM BEING DEPORTED.
THE EXECUTIVE ACTION – WHICH STRAIGHT ARROW NEWS HAS REPORTED WAS LIKELY TO OCCUR — WOULD COVER APPROXIMATELY FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND IMMIGRANTS LIVING IN AMERICA FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS.
UNDER THE PROGRAM – KNOWN AS “PAROLE IN PLACE” – THOSE WHOSE APPLICATIONS ARE APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WILL BE GIVEN THREE YEARS TO APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCY IN THE U.S.
THE UNDOCUMENTED SPOUSES WOULD BE GIVEN WORK PERMITS, HELP TO GAIN ACCESS TO A GREEN CARD AND PROVIDED A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP.

“THESE ACTIONS WILL PROMOTE FAMILY UNITY AND STRENGTHEN OUR ECONOMY, PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO THE COUNTRY AND HELPING U.S. CITIZENS AND THEIR NONCITIZEN FAMILY MEMBERS STAY TOGETHER.”
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE POLICY AT THE WHITE HOUSE TUESDAY AS HE MARKS THE 12-TH ANNIVERSARY OF DACA – WHICH PROTECTS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME TO AMERICA AS CHILDREN FROM DEPORTATION.

JOHN KIBRY | WHITE HOUSE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL SPOKESMAN
“No surprise that he went to North Korea after his so-called election, a real nailbiter that was. He was going to go on a little bit of a charm offensive here and that’s what he appears to be doing. We’re not concerned about the trip what we are concerned about Trevor is the deepening relationship between these two countries, not just because of the impacts it’s going to have on the Ukrainian people because we know North Korean ballistic missiles are still being used to hit Ukrainian targets but because there could be some reciprocity here that could affect security on the Korean Peninsula.”
