Washington: Outgoing President Joe Biden has suffered a major setback as Kamala Harris lost the election. Judges appointed by newly elected President Donald Trump have blocked Biden’s immigration policies. We tell you that Biden’s immigration policy includes requirements for spouses of undocumented U.S. citizens. But a judge declared the undocumented policy against U.S. citizen spouses illegal. This is the first biggest shock Biden faces after Trump was elected president.
When a federal judge on Thursday overturned the validity of the Biden administration’s “in-place parole” policy, many priorities changed dramatically. This immigration program provides legal status to spouses of undocumented U.S. citizens. But after Donald Trump won the presidential election, U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker struck down Biden’s policies in a ruling. The judge’s decision comes after newly elected President Donald Trump is expected to win the 2024 US election. This marks the return of the Republican leader to the White House.
What are Biden’s policies?
Let us tell you, in an effort to promote family unity among mixed-status families, the Biden administration earlier this year announced a policy to keep those families together. However, the results of Trump’s rise to power have already shown major failures in Biden’s dismal term. The latest move by Buck, an appointee during President-elect Trump’s first term, undoes policies that Biden pursued during his first re-election campaign. The law would protect some undocumented married partners of U.S. citizens from deportation. The program also allows them to work legally in the United States while they are in the process of obtaining citizenship. This would leave room for people who have lived in the country for 10 years without committing a serious crime. Additionally, the policy’s deportation protections would be extended to undocumented stepchildren of U.S. citizens.
The decision will affect 70,000 to 800,000 people
According to CNN, previous estimates indicate that the Biden administration’s cancellation of this program may affect at least 750,000 to 800,000 spouses of US citizens. However, Trump has also separately vowed to seal off and militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, which would trigger the largest mass deportations in the country’s history. Not surprisingly, safeguards under the Keeping Families Together policy have been removed.
