On Tuesday, the Biden administration plans to announce an executive action protecting undocumented spouses of American citizens that would shield about 500,000 immigrants from deportation, according to four sources familiar with the matter.
“This is the biggest thing since DACA,” said one of the sources, an immigration advocate, adding that it was a smart political move by the Biden administration.
The program, known as “parole in place,” would also make it easier for some undocumented immigrants to get a green card and a path to U.S. citizenship.
The sources also say that the undocumented spouses would be allowed to obtain work permits on a case-by-case basis. Two of the sources said that the undocumented spouses will have to have lived in the U.S. and been married for at least 10 years before being eligible to apply for the work permit.
Three of the sources said that President Joe Biden will also announce a new action regarding DACA recipients who earned degrees in higher education and are seeking a job in that same field.
The moves are expected to be challenged in court.

So is he going to break up families? Some folks never learn unless there is pain involved someway.
Everything this prick does is a vote pander, nothing he does is for the good of the country. Nothing.
Non issue. Non problem. Won't affect anyone. It just makes for a meaningless "sound bite".
Amen.
Read that closely.
500K is bogus. People who marry citizens get green card. There are hoops they have to jump through, but they do jump through them. It is absurd to imagine there are 500K spouses of US citizens who did not start the paperwork.
This looks like PR, and they are hoping for GOP lawsuits to be even more PR.
It is NOT 500K votes pending.
Disagree. All this does is incentivize others to violate our immigration laws.
He says this while illegally having foreign invaders flown and bussed in by the millions.
Exactly.
The immigration interview was intrusive and rude and left me hating the INS but I can see the necessity.

Disregard SCOTUS.
This is an old grift. Sham marriages for papers.
That MF'er Biden searches every little nook and cranny for a few extra votes, AMERICA BE DAMNED.
Um ... what exactly is the problem?
No problem. Reporterrette is easy on the eyes.
Stinking mentally deficient piece of communist crap, is surrounded by obama’s stinking mentally deficient pieces of communist crap...
What we are hearing about (poison pills) are undoubtedly a infinitesimal fraction of what is going on in the communist federal bureaucracy...
Hard to see any way this can end peacefully...
NBC News = Daughter of Satan.
Who cares? She is still a communist beeyotch.
