For months, the Biden Administration has been working on the Parole in Place program with the mission of uniting hundreds of thousands of noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens with their families and giving them a pathway to citizenship.
In line with Eric Welsh’s commentary on The Dallas Morning News, “I’m sure that opposition will be robust in no small part because this is an election year” (Friday, August 23, 2024), sixteen Republican-led states filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration to block the Parole in Place program from continuing. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading this lawsuit, argued that the program was created for political purposes and will incentivize illegal immigration, causing financial harm to the states suing.
Parole in Place Program Controversy
Politicians suing the Biden administration for the implementation of the Parole in Place Program assert that the Biden administration is trying to illegally use ‘parole’ as a way to proceed with their open-border policy agenda. However, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), noted that the policy is, “grounded in well-established legal authority” and that despite the lawsuit, they will continue to accept applications to the Parole in Place program.
