President Biden's sweeping amnesty order offers legal residency to 500,000 illegal immigrants married to US citizens and 50,000 non-citizen children. This historic action bypasses the residency process for spouses of US citizens, eliminating the need to leave the country for a period. Politically, Biden aims to appeal to Latino communities and progressive groups. Democrats approve of the order, praising Biden for taking action where Republicans have failed. In contrast, Republicans criticize Biden, citing instances of crimes committed by illegal immigrants to oppose the amnesty order.
