The president’s executive action will shield undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation, allow them to obtain work authorization, as well as ease their path to permanent resident status, the three sources told PBS News. The announcement will be made at a White House event marking the 12th anniversary of an Obama-era action that protected undocumented youth brought to the U.S. as children from deportation.
The executive action will also make it easier for some undocumented migrants brought to the U.S. as children, also known as “Dreamers,” to receive work visas, according to the sources briefed by the White House. Dreamers would qualify if they have earned a degree from a U.S. college or university and have received a high-skilled job offer.
Yeah, the fact that they’re requiring people to be married by yesterday and to have been hiding out in the US for at least a decade before they can even apply to this program (and they’re still saying they’re doing a case by case review of applications, so not even everyone who meets the requirement will get it) is fucking nuts. It’s like they realized they need to do something to win back all the people they pissed off with Biden’s attacks on migrants and asylum seekers recently but this nonsense is the best they can do because they live in mortal terror of the idea that they might accidentally give an undeserving brown person legal rights.
Who the hell would attempt this if they would be outting themselves in the process? Like, sorry you didn’t pass, say goodbye to your family!?
