When Ashley de Azevedo married in 2012, she didn't realize her husband would need to return to Brazil for 10 years to obtain permanent residency due to his illegal entry into the U.S.
A policy under consideration by the Biden administration could provide undocumented spouses like Mr. Azevedo with a path to permanent residency without leaving the U.S.
The proposal faces criticism from some Republicans and immigration hawks who view it as an abuse of executive authority, contrasting with recent actions making asylum-seeking harder.
This potential policy change may offer President Biden a political advantage in states with significant immigrant populations.
