The Facts

  • The Biden administration is considering a proposal that would give amnesty to illegal immigrants who are spouses of US citizens and allow them to work in the country legally, according to a New York Times report.

  • The Biden administration is reportedly considering a proposal that would give amnesty to undocumented spouses of US citizens and allow them to work in the country legally.


The Spin

This is a common sense, compassionate approach to immigration. While some progressives were disappointed with Biden's recent executive order, it's clear the president is nothing like former Pres. Donald Trump, who literally wants to deport every undocumented immigrant. Granting protections to the spouses of US citizens will help more than 1M people in a way that most Americans can support.

Biden has left the border open for his entire term, and now that he's received backlash over this executive order, he's feigning concern about illegal immigration. Polls show most Americans support deporting undocumented immigrants, but instead, the president is offering amnesty to millions — showing he's more beholden to the far left than the country as a whole.
