Biden administration vows to create path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented migrants
On his first day in office, US President Joe Biden pledged to create an eight-year path to citizenship for many of the estimated 11 million undocumented migrants living in the country. The plan proposes to grant temporary legal status for five years to undocumented immigrants already living in the US, who would then be eligible for a green card after paying taxes. In addition, an estimated 2 million of the current recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“Dreamers”) would be allowed to immediately apply for permanent legal residency.
