The Facts
US Pres. Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday granting extended stays to immigrants who are illegally in the country but married to US citizens.
The move will be called "parole in place," which will give amnesty and a pathway to legal residency to around 500K spouses and 50K children under 21. Spouses must have been married by June 17 and lived in the country for at least 10 years.

This is a calculated effort to further discombobulate the immigration court system and leave it ripe for fraud. As the government deals with a backlog of hundreds of thousands of regular cases, this new order allows illegals to either soar through the system thanks to a real marriage license or give them time to fabricate licenses and other documents to abuse the system in the future. From open borders and expedited work permits to this new policy, immigration law no longer exists.
