Republican States File Suit to End Program That Gives Migrants US Citizenship Through Marriage

More Friday news on a Monday.

This is what we’re doing now.

“You heard it here last.”

The Guardian:

Opponents are suing to end a federal program that could potentially give nearly half a million migrants without legal status who are married to US citizens a path to citizenship.

Sixteen Republican-led states filed suit on Friday to halt the program launched by Joe Biden in June, saying in court filings that the Biden administration bypassed Congress to create a pathway to citizenship for “blatant political purposes”.

Under the policy, which started taking applications on Monday, many spouses without legal status can apply for something called “parole in place”, offering permission to stay in the US, apply for a green card and eventually get on a path to citizenship.

But the program has been particularly contentious in an election year in which immigration is a leading issue, with many Republicans attacking the policy and labeling it amnesty for people who broke the law.

To be eligible for the program, immigrants must have lived continuously in the US for at least 10 years, not pose a security threat or have a disqualifying criminal history, and have been married to a citizen by 17 June.

Clearly, all of these people should have to go back. If they’ve got a spouse, the spouse can go with them.

But this is a much smaller issue than the whole “birthright citizenship” thing that no one wants to deal with.
