President Biden announced on Tuesday that immigrant spouses of American citizens may apply for permanent residency without leaving the country, washing away their fears of being separated from their families and putting them on a path to U.S. citizenship.
Behind him were lawmakers such as U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), the son of formerly undocumented immigrants from Mexico, and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban immigrant.
"The steps I'm taking today are overwhelmingly supported by the American people, no matter what the other team says... it embraces the American principle that we should keep families together." - President Biden
