A federal judge has temporarily blocked a program launched by President Joe Biden's administration allowing undocumented immigrants a pathway to U.S. citizenship, NBC News reports.
The 'Keeping Families Together' program, which allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for green cards without leaving the country, was blocked by U.S. Eastern District of Texas Judge J. Campbell Barker on Monday (August 26). The program would provide a "parole in place" to undocumented spouses who could prove they've lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years.
Undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens typically need to leave the country to apply for green cards and eventually gain citizenship, which would risk potential yearslong or permanent separation from their spouses, while the "parole in place" would give them the option to apply in the U.S. The White House estimated 500,000 people were eligible for the program and federal immigration agencies started accepting applications on August 19, however, the Republican attorneys general of Texas and 15 other states filed a lawsuit to halt the program, which led to Barker's decision.
Barker wrote that the claims made in the lawsuit "are substantial and warrant closer consideration than the court has been able to afford to date." The ruling orders the government to stop granting parole under the program, however, doesn't prohibit the government from receiving applications, which won't be processed until the stay is lifted.
How many people have they already pushed through? Clinton had a similar program the year of his re-election, pushing through illegals to citizenship so they could vote in the Presidential election that year.
The families could be together in their home country... but then they would not have my tax dollars to buy their luxuries.
Team ByeDone will IGNORE this ruling. Ask Jack Smith.
“How many people have they already pushed through?”
Estimates will surely be made, but we’ll never know for sure. It has been a full scale invasion under Mayorkas.
Trump said he plans to have the largest deportation ever. I’m praying for just that.
The RATS and their Rino colluders are planning another steal...guaranteed.
Good. Even illegal invaders are not above the law.
Hey! This is election interference! Illegal immigrants founded this country. Even the Pilgrims were illegal immigrants, you racists!/sarc
“The families could be together in their home country”
Exactly right.
“but then they would not have my tax dollars to buy their luxuries.”
Bingo.
“Team ByeDone will IGNORE this ruling.”
Yeah, they’ll prosecute you and put you in prison at the drop of a hat. But on their side, they ignore any laws or rulings they don’t like, most of the time without consequence.
“This is election interference! Illegal immigrants founded this country. Even the Pilgrims were illegal immigrants, you racists!/sarc”
Yes, that’s just the mindset of the left.
I think the author meant “illegal aliens”. Make “illegal aliens” great again.
Yes, that’s a great ad.
Rub her nose in it, so even the low information voters will understand she lies when she says she wants border security.
They are definitely illegal aliens, or as some prefer to call them “invaders.”
