illegal immigrants currently in the US A judge has ruled that the Biden-Harris administration’s plan to give legal status to the illegal immigrant spouses of American citizens is not valid because the Department of Homeland Security does not have the authority to carry out this kind of mass amnesty. The program, called Keeping Families Together, would have allowed those individuals to “parole in place,” and to remain in the US, despite their lack of legal status.
The suit was brought against the DHS by the State of Texas and many other states along with America First Legal. Texas has born a disproportionate amount of the burden of illegal immigration due to the sheer number of person who illegally cross into the US across the Rio Grande River and into the state.
