Biden Immigration Policy

President Biden announces a pathway to citizenship for immigrants without legal status married to U.S. citizens. This program allows spouses residing in the U.S. for at least 10 years to pursue citizenship without the need to return to their home countries. The initiative aims to address the fear and uncertainty faced by families and children affected by immigration policies. Biden's decision faces both criticism and praise, with Republicans urging for tougher measures and Democrats evaluating the impact on voters.
