Biden gives details about new immigration program | Biden announces new immigration policy

(ASSOCIATED PRESS) President Joe Biden ordered an expansive election-year step Tuesday to offer potential citizenship to hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S., aiming to balance his recent aggressive crackdown on the southern border that enraged advocates and many Democratic lawmakers.

The president announced that his administration will, in the coming months, allow certain U.S. citizens’ spouses without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship without having to first depart the country. The move could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials.

“The Statue of Liberty is not some relic of American history. It still stands for who we are,” Biden said from a crowded East Room at the White House, filled with advocates, congressional Democrats and immigrants who would be eligible for the program. “But I also refuse to believe that for us to continue to be America that embraces immigration, we have to give up securing our border. They’re false choices.”

Instead of bringing more people from the border. President should give a chances to the people who are already living in this country, paying the taxes, not involving in the criminal activities and who can speak English. if they take at least $5000 from them as a penalty just bcoz they entered illegally from the border then imagine how muchthey make From those people and this will boost the economy. These people now don’t file taxes, but then they will pay taxes and file taxes
