The plan to add more Democrat voters to the states continues in the Biden Administration, as hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who have lived in the country for at least 10 and who are married to American citizens are going to be granted amnesty, the president announced Tuesday.
That means people who have been in the country criminally for 10 years need to hurry up and find a spouse.
Those who are approved after a Department of Homeland Security case-by-case assessment of their application will be afforded a three-year period to apply for permanent residency. They will be allowed to remain in the United States and be eligible for work authorization for up to three years. This will apply to all married couples who are eligible, Biden said.
“This action will protect approximately half a million spouses of U.S. citizens, and approximately 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a U.S. citizen,” the White House said.
It’s a mixed message for those who are planning border incursions into the United States. Earlier this month, Biden announced he was cracking down on illegal immigration, including denying asylum applications whenever the number of border incursions is “high.”
During his presidency, illegal immigration is at an all time high. Some 7.2 million illegals have entered the country during the Biden Administration’s three-and-a-half-year presidency, which is greater than the population of 36 states.
In 2023 alone, Biden’s border policies led to more than 2.4 million illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. Mexico border.
Between January and May of this year, some 1.39 million illegal immigrants from 177 countries traveled through Mexico to reach the United States, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Migration, a government agency. Most of them were from Central American countries, with the leading feeder of illegal immigrants Venezuela, with 380,000, followed by Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, and Haiti, all of which are heavily populated by violent gangs and drug traffickers. Others are coming from China, India, Mauritania, and Angola, according to the Mexican government.
Some critics see this new policy as part of Biden’s attempt to win Hispanic voters. But with the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations, the immigrants coming from 177 countries through Mexico to the U.S. means that virtually the entire world is using Mexico as its staging ground.
