GOP senators vow to stop Biden admin’s 'amnesty wand' for illegal immigrants with US spouses

More than a dozen Republicans in the Senate are launching a push to block a "parole in place" policy introduced in June by the Biden administration.

The rule would affect the Biden administration’s introduction of "parole in place," which was announced in June and allows it to grant humanitarian parole and a path to permanent residency for certain illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens without them having to leave the country and interview at a consulate, as they generally do in order to apply for a visa. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

The new process, called "Keeping Families Together," applies to noncitizen spouses who have lived in the U.S. for 10 years as of June and are judged not to pose a threat to public safety or national security. The administration argues that families live in fear and "face deep uncertainty about their future" due to the requirement that they depart and be processed abroad.
