WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Joe Biden on Tuesday will unveil new rules easing the process for undocumented spouses of US citizens to obtain permanent residency status, the White House said.
The Biden administration has been trying to walk a thin line on immigration, a key issue for many Americans ahead of November's presidential election.The Democrat is seeking to be tougher on illegal migrants, while also contrasting himself with the harsher policies of Republican rival Donald Trump.The new rules will not expand eligibility for permanent residency, but rather streamline the process for those who already qualify.
minimize the bureaucracy, minimize the hardship that having to leave the country creates,' a senior administration official told reporters ahead of the announcement.However, 'only Congress can deliver... comprehensive reform of our immigration and asylum laws,' another official added.A previous, bipartisan immigration package pushed by Biden in Congress would have introduced the strictest policies in decades, but fell apart when Republicans walked away from the deal.
