The Biden administration's new policy allows undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for parole in place, offering them a potential pathway to citizenship. Nonetheless, this has sparked controversy, particularly among Republican-led states who accuse it of being an abuse of power and further exacerbating illegal immigration.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that the administration's program ‘violates the Constitution’ and claimed it intentionally worsens the illegal immigration crisis affecting the state and the country.
FWD.us defended the program, stating that the lawsuit filed was based on ‘the cruelty of tearing families apart’ and an attempt to curry favor with the anti-immigrant sentiment, asserting that the program complies with the law.
The contentious nature of the program has been amplified in an election year, framing immigration as a critical issue, leading to fierce Republican opposition and allegations of political motives behind the Biden administration's actions.
