President Biden's New Immigration Policy: Protecting Married Undocumented Immigrants and Expanding Opportunities for DACA Recipients

On June 18, 2024, President Joe Biden announced changes to U.S. immigration policy that could allow DACA recipients greater access to H-1B visas and other employment paths (Forbes). The new policy would streamline existing authorities and aid other undocumented immigrants ineligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (Forbes). DACA is not a legal status but a form of executive branch protection from deportation (Forbes).

The Biden administration also announced an executive action allowing undocumented spouses of US citizens who have lived in the country for over a decade to apply for permanent residency without leaving (CNN). Approximately 500,000 adults and some 50,000 children will benefit from this policy (CNN). This policy is called pro-family and pro-child as it keeps families together during the application process for permanent residency (CNN).

President Biden announced a plan to extend legal status to spouses of US citizens without requiring them to first depart the country for up to 10 years (AP News). Claudia Zániga, who has been married to a US citizen for 10 years but her husband is currently living in Mexico due to legal requirements, expressed excitement about the possibility of being reunited with her family (AP News).

However, some were left out from this policy change. For example, Allyson Batista’s Brazilian husband does not benefit from this new policy (AP News). Additionally, President Biden’s new executive order that shields as many as 500,000 illegal immigrants from deportation has been criticized by top House Republicans as an election-year ploy (Fox News).

In summary, President Joe Biden announced changes to U.S. immigration policy on June 18, 2024, that will protect from deportation certain undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens and provide greater access to H-1B visas and other employment paths for DACA recipients (Forbes). The Biden administration also announced an executive action allowing undocumented spouses of US citizens who have lived in the country for over a decade to apply for permanent residency without leaving (CNN). However, some were left out from this policy change and critics argue that it is an election-year ploy (Fox News).

Biden’s big immigration gamble

Vox Media LTD Christian Paz Tuesday, 18 June 2024 20:50
  • Unique Points
    • President Joe Biden announced a plan to offer legal protections to the undocumented spouses of American citizens using a ‘parole-in-place’ program.
    • The new policy affects about half a million immigrants living in the US without legal status.
  • Accuracy
    • President Joe Biden announced a plan to offer legal protections to the undocumented spouses of American citizens, a move seen as an attempt to balance politics and policy.
    • , The new policy uses a ‘parole-in-place’ program, allowing noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of American citizens to apply for permanent residency and work permits (green cards).
    • Approximately 1.1 million spouses of US citizens are ineligible for this policy change because they have not lived in the United States for 10 years.
    • Republicans criticized the executive order as a cynical bid to win over Hispanic and Latino voters ahead of the November election.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains editorializing and pontification by the author. The author expresses their opinion on the political climate surrounding immigration and Biden's policies. They also make assumptions about public opinion and voters' attitudes towards immigration. Additionally, there is selective reporting as the author focuses on certain aspects of Biden's policies while ignoring others.
    • The post-pandemic years have been a perplexing time in immigration politics...
    • It’s also an example of how Biden is performing a tenuous balancing act...
    • That’s true even when one looks at some of the plan’s fine print...
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes an appeal to authority by mentioning the opinions of various activist groups and congressional Democrats. He also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing the public's attitude towards immigration as 'toxic for Democrats' and 'waffling'.
    • > The public is also waffling. Plenty of issue polling shows independents and various kinds of moderate voters are still concerned about immigration levels. <
    • > And more voters are becoming open to more hardline immigration policies, like building a border wall, restricting asylum, or deputizing the National Guard to round up undocumented immigrants who pose public safety risks. <
  • Bias (90%)
    The author expresses a neutral tone towards the topic of immigration and Biden's policies. However, there are some instances where the author implies a pro-immigrant stance by using phrases like 'much-needed victory' and 'recommitment to continue to fight for the day where ALL people have the dignity and freedom to stay and freedom to thrive.' These phrases suggest a bias towards immigrants. Additionally, there is an excessive use of quotes from pro-immigrant activists, which may reflect a disproportionate number of quotations that reflect a specific position.
    • a much-needed victory for our movement, a step in the right direction for President Biden,

    'Political pandering': GOP lawmakers rip Biden's 'mass amnesty' order as election-year ploy

    Fox News Media Elizabeth Elkind Wednesday, 19 June 2024 17:25
    • Unique Points
      • President Biden announced an executive order to give undocumented spouses of US citizens a pathway to permanent residency if they have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years and meet legal requirements.
      • Approximately 50,000 noncitizens under age 21 whose parent is married to a US citizen will be protected by this order.
    • Accuracy
      • Approximately 500,000 immigrants may benefit from this policy change.
      • President Biden announced a plan to offer legal protections to the undocumented spouses of American citizens.
      • Spouses must have been living in the US for at least a decade and be married to a US citizen as of June 17.
    • Deception (30%)
      The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author quotes several Republican lawmakers criticizing Biden's executive order on illegal immigrants, but does not provide any counter-perspective from Democrats or the White House. This creates a one-sided view of the issue. Additionally, the author uses emotive language such as 'mass amnesty', 'political pandering', and 'failed president' to manipulate readers' emotions.
      • Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, called it political pandering.
      • Just two weeks ago, the President pretended to crack down on the open-border catastrophe by engaging an election-year border charade. Now he’s trying to play both sides and is granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.
      • President Biden’s election-year, 11th-hour ploy for mass amnesty is not surprising, but it is an important reminder for anyone who doubted: This administration was never serious about securing the border.
    • Fallacies (85%)
      The author makes an appeal to authority by quoting and attributing statements to top House Republicans Mark Green, Richard Hudson, and August Pfluger. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Biden's actions as 'mass amnesty,' 'political pandering,' and a 'meaningless executive action.' However, the author does not provide any evidence or logical reasoning to support these claims.
