The Biden administration is moving to grant illegal immigrants who have come to the US under Biden's "parole" authority mass amnesty if they are married to a US citizen. 

The program is known as "parole in place," according to CBS News. The program would also make it easier for illegal immigrants who came in under the parole program to receive amnesty and become American citizens. The move comes as the White House supposedly took steps in order to curb more illegal immigration with an executive order that would still allow at least 1.5 million illegal immigrants into the US every year.  

White House spokesperson Angelo Hernandez Fernandez that the Biden administration is continuing "to explore a series of policy options, and we remain committed to taking action to address our broken immigration system." CBS reports that about 1.1 million illegal immigrants are married to US citizens and stand to benefit from the program. Generally, illegal immigrants who are married to US citizens have to leave the country for a time and then come back in order to get a green card.  

The action is likely to confront legal challenges after multiple different red states have brought lawsuits against the White House over the parole authority. Biden has used the parole authority in unprecedented ways in order to ship in 30,000 immigrants every month from the countries of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.  

Parole means that an illegal immigrant "has not been formally admitted into the United States for purposes of immigration law," according to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services description of parole. The page also states, "Parole is not intended to be used solely to avoid normal visa processing procedures and timelines, to bypass inadmissibility waiver processing, or to replace established refugee processing channels." 

Parole has been a means by which the Biden administration, in addition to being soft on the border, has ushered in record levels of illegal immigrants to the US amid the ongoing border crisis.
