What President Biden's action means
This is the type of positive, uplifting action we need to keep families together and support our communities.
This action will keep families together, remove bureaucratic barriers to legal status for deeply-rooted immigrants, and provide stability for thousands of American children.
The Administration has the legal authority to help remove barriers and open paths so American families can stay together and apply for legal status and this authority has been used before by both Democratic and Republican Presidents.
President Biden is using his legal authority under existing law to implement this program. These overdue common-sense changes, which many Americans think already exist, are the right thing to do for American families.
We need a common sense approach of order at the border and also a pathway to legal status for deeply rooted, long-term immigrants.
The majority of Americans (74%) support a balanced approach of having a secure and orderly border and pathways to citizenship for long-settled immigrants with deep roots in the U.S.
73% support allowing undocumented immigrants married to a U.S. citizen or legal residents to live here with legal status.
Democrats are for stabilizing our communities and providing solutions, versus the GOP, who uses immigration for political gain and is embracing extreme positions such as mass deportations. - Americas Voice
MAGA racism
"Trump and those around him are profoundly hostile to immigration in general... If you repeatedly declare, as Trump has, that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” you don’t really care if they came here legally, you’re all but saying that what matters is whether they’re white." - NY Times
"Fox News is already erupting over the news that President Biden is granting legal protections to half a million undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens. On the network, MAGA diehards are deriding the move as an illegal exercise of executive power, which is rich coming from backers of Trump, who openly vows to throw his political enemies in jail with zero legal basis if re-elected president." - The New Republic
Ethnic groups by county
Targeting different ethnic groups
Right wing media outlets like FOX, Sinclair Media and Twitter regularly denigrate immigrants. Trust ethnic media outlets to reach these communities instead.
Different ethnic groups are part of the fabric of America but are often hard to reach. Ethnic Media Services promotes cross cultural communications through their network hundreds of journalists, editors and broadcasters. Use this free app to search hundreds of ethnic media outlets.
