Biden plans to offer a path to citizenship for some migrants who have been in the United States for 10 years

The Biden administration is working on a plan to offer work permits to illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens and have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, creating a path to citizenship.

This program is called “Parole in Place” and would create a program offering permanent legal status and U.S. citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, according to CBS News.

THE New York Post reports that the measures could be announced as soon as next Tuesday, when White House officials host an event celebrating the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

As of now, plans have not been finalized.

Biden is also reportedly developing another plan to make it easier for illegal immigrants to access temporary visas, sources told CBS News.

The project is expected to be rejected by Republicans in the House and Senate.
