President Biden Announces New Actions to Keep Immigrant Families Together

The White House – Since his first day in office, President Biden has called on Congress to secure our border and address our broken immigration system. As Congressional Republicans have continued to put partisan politics ahead of national security – twice voting against the toughest and fairest set of reforms in decades – the President and his Administration have taken actions to secure the border, including:

  • Implementing executive actions to bar migrants who cross our Southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum when encounters are high;
  • Deploying record numbers of law enforcement personnel, infrastructure, and technology to the Southern border;
  • Seizing record amounts of fentanyl at our ports of entry;
  • Revoking the visas of CEOs and government officials outside the U.S. who profit from migrants coming to the U.S. unlawfully; and
  • Expanding efforts to dismantle human smuggling networks and prosecuting individuals who violate immigration laws.

President Biden believes that securing the border is essential. He also believes in expanding lawful pathways and keeping families together, and that immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, paying taxes and contributing to their communities, are part of the social fabric of our country. The Day One immigration reform plan that the President sent to Congress reflects both the need for a secure border and protections for the long-term undocumented. While Congress has failed to act on these reforms, the Biden-Harris Administration has worked to strengthen our lawful immigration system. In addition to vigorously defending the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals) policy, the Administration has extended Affordable Care Act coverage to DACA recipients and streamlined, expanded, and instituted new reunification programs so that families can stay together while they complete the immigration process.

Still, there is more that we can do to bring peace of mind and stability to Americans living in mixed-status families as well as young people educated in this country, including Dreamers. That is why on Tuesday, June 18, President Biden announced new actions for people who have been here many years to keep American families together and allow more young people to contribute to our economy.

Keeping American Families Together

  • President Biden announced that the Department of Homeland Security will take action to ensure that U.S. citizens with noncitizen spouses and children can keep their families together.
  • This new process will help certain noncitizen spouses and children apply for lawful permanent residence – status that they are already eligible for – without leaving the country.
  • These actions will promote family unity and strengthen our economy, providing a significant benefit to the country and helping U.S. citizens and their noncitizen family members stay together.
  • In order to be eligible, noncitizens must – as of June 17, 2024 – have resided in the United States for 10 or more years and be legally married to a U.S. citizen, while satisfying all applicable legal requirements. On average, those who are eligible for this process have resided in the U.S. for 23 years.
  • Those who are approved after DHS’s case-by-case assessment of their application will be afforded a three-year period to apply for permanent residency. They will be allowed to remain with their families in the United States and be eligible for work authorization for up to three years. This will apply to all married couples who are eligible.
  • This action will protect approximately half a million spouses of U.S. citizens, and approximately 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a U.S. citizen.

Easing the Visa Process for U.S. College Graduates, Including Dreamers

  • President Obama and then-Vice President Biden established the DACA policy to allow young people who were brought here as children to come out of the shadows and contribute to our country in significant ways. Twelve years later, DACA recipients who started as high school and college students are now building successful careers and establishing families of their own.
  • This week’s announcement will allow individuals, including DACA recipients and other Dreamers, who have earned a degree at an accredited U.S. institution of higher education in the United States, and who have received an offer of employment from a U.S. employer in a field related to their degree, to more quickly receive work visas.
  • Recognizing that it is in our national interest to ensure that individuals who are educated in the U.S. are able to use their skills and education to benefit our country, the Administration is taking action to facilitate the employment visa process for those who have graduated from college and have a high-skilled job offer, including DACA recipients and other Dreamers.

El presidente Biden anuncia nuevas acciones para mantener unidas a las familias inmigrantes

La Casa Blanca – Desde su primer día en el cargo, el presidente Biden ha pedido al Congreso que asegure nuestra frontera y aborde nuestro fallido sistema de inmigración. Mientras los republicanos del Congreso han seguido anteponiendo la política partidista a la seguridad nacional (votando dos veces en contra del conjunto de reformas más duras y justas en décadas), el presidente y su administración han tomado medidas para asegurar la frontera, entre ellas:.

  • Implementar acciones ejecutivas para impedir que los migrantes que cruzan nuestra frontera sur ilegalmente reciban asilo cuando los encuentros son elevados;
  • Desplegar cantidades récord de personal policial, infraestructura y tecnología en la frontera sur;
  • Incautar cantidades récord de fentanilo en nuestros puertos de entrada;
  • Revocar las visas de directores ejecutivos y funcionarios gubernamentales fuera de los EE. UU. que se beneficien de los inmigrantes que llegan ilegalmente a los EE. UU.; y
  • Ampliar los esfuerzos para desmantelar las redes de tráfico de personas y procesar a las personas que violan las leyes de inmigración.

El presidente Biden cree que asegurar la frontera es esencial. También cree en ampliar las vías legales y mantener unidas a las familias, y que los inmigrantes que han estado en los Estados Unidos durante décadas, pagando impuestos y contribuyendo a sus comunidades, son parte del tejido social de nuestro país. El plan de reforma migratoria del primer día que el Presidente envió al Congreso refleja tanto la necesidad de una frontera segura como de protección para los indocumentados de largo plazo. Si bien el Congreso no ha logrado actuar sobre estas reformas, la Administración Biden-Harris ha trabajado para fortalecer nuestro sistema de inmigración legal. Además de defender vigorosamente la política DACA (Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia), la Administración ha extendido la cobertura de la Ley de Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio a los beneficiarios de DACA y ha simplificado, ampliado e instituido nuevos programas de reunificación para que las familias puedan permanecer juntas mientras completan el proceso de inmigración.

Aún así, podemos hacer más para brindar tranquilidad y estabilidad a los estadounidenses que viven en familias de estatus mixto, así como a los jóvenes educados en este país, incluidos los Dreamers. Es por eso que el martes 18 de junio el presidente Biden anunció nuevas acciones para las personas que han estado aquí muchos años para mantener unidas a las familias estadounidenses y permitir que más jóvenes contribuyan a nuestra economía.

Mantener unidas a las familias estadounidenses

  • El presidente Biden anunció que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional tomará medidas para garantizar que los ciudadanos estadounidenses con cónyuges e hijos no ciudadanos puedan mantener unidas a sus familias.
  • Este nuevo proceso ayudará a ciertos cónyuges e hijos no ciudadanos a solicitar la residencia permanente legal (estado para el que ya son elegibles) sin salir del país.
  • Estas acciones promoverán la unidad familiar y fortalecerán nuestra economía, brindando un beneficio significativo al país y ayudando a los ciudadanos estadounidenses y a sus familiares no ciudadanos a permanecer juntos.
  • Para ser elegibles, los no ciudadanos deben, a partir del 17 de junio de 2024, haber residido en los Estados Unidos durante 10 años o más y estar legalmente casados con un ciudadano estadounidense, cumpliendo al mismo tiempo con todos los requisitos legales aplicables. En promedio, quienes son elegibles para este proceso han residido en Estados Unidos durante 23 años.
  • Aquellos que sean aprobados después de la evaluación caso por caso de su solicitud por parte del DHS tendrán un período de tres años para solicitar la residencia permanente. Se les permitirá permanecer con sus familias en los Estados Unidos y ser elegibles para una autorización de trabajo por hasta tres años. Esto se aplicará a todas las parejas casadas que sean elegibles.
  • Esta acción protegerá a aproximadamente medio millón de cónyuges de ciudadanos estadounidenses y aproximadamente 50,000 niños no ciudadanos menores de 21 años cuyos padres están casados con un ciudadano estadounidense.

Facilitar el proceso de visa para graduados universitarios de EE. UU., incluidos los dreamers

  • El presidente Obama y el entonces vicepresidente Biden establecieron la política DACA para permitir que los jóvenes que fueron traídos aquí cuando eran niños salieran de las sombras y contribuyeran a nuestro país de manera significativa. Doce años después, los beneficiarios de DACA que comenzaron como estudiantes de secundaria y universitarios ahora están construyendo carreras exitosas y formando sus propias familias.
  • El anuncio de esta semana permitirá a las personas, incluidos los beneficiarios de DACA y otros Dreamers, que hayan obtenido un título en una institución estadounidense acreditada de educación superior en los Estados Unidos y que hayan recibido una oferta de empleo de un empleador estadounidense en un campo relacionado con su título, para recibir más rápidamente visas de trabajo.
  • Reconociendo que es de nuestro interés nacional garantizar que las personas educadas en los EE. UU. puedan utilizar sus habilidades y educación en beneficio de nuestro país, la Administración está tomando medidas para facilitar el proceso de visa de empleo para aquellos que se han graduado de la universidad. y tener una oferta laboral altamente calificada, incluidos beneficiarios de DACA y otros Dreamers.
