President Biden’s new border order has experts concerned over what the fallout may be, reports Fox News:
“Top immigration experts are hammering the Biden administration over its plan to establish so-called ‘parole-in-place’ qualifications for illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens.
“The idea of parole-in-place stemmed from a memo crafted by President Bill Clinton in 1998 and has been used since 2016 to categorize non-citizen immediate family members of U.S. service members.
“A forthcoming executive order expanding the construct is expected to shield as many as half a million illegal immigrants from deportation.
“Former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan said the move will cause further damage to the U.S. and lead to an uptick in marriage fraud – as the policy is set to focus on spouses.
“‘This administration has done nothing to secure the border – they’re playing a shell game,’ Homan said. ‘This is just another enticement… for more illegal aliens to cross the border to take advantage of a giveaway program.’
“Homan, who served in the Trump administration, previously said he hopes to help establish a ‘historic deportation program’ if the real estate mogul is elected in November.
“He told reporters the parole-in-place program will incentivize illegal immigrants to venture across the southern border and simply ‘hide out’ until a program like this comes along to provide them amnesty.
“‘A record number of migrants are dead, a record number of American citizens are dead, a record number of terrorists have crossed the border. And what’s your focus? Let’s get another giveaway program, which is going to entice more people to come. This is nothing but a political ploy,’ he said.
“There are several conditions for qualifying for the program – a key stipulation being that the spouse must have resided in the U.S. for at least 10 years, have a legally valid marriage to a U.S. citizen and must have a clean criminal history.”
