President #Biden on Tues will announce sweeping new #protections for hundreds of thousands of #immigrants who have been living in the #UnitedStates illegally for years but are married to American #citizens.
#POTUS will detail the policy at the WH on Tues while marking the 12-yr anniversary of #DACA which protects people who came to the US as children from #deportation.
That means long separations from their spouses & families. The new program would allow families to remain in the country while they pursue #legal status.
The announcement could amount to the most sweeping unilateral move by a president to provide relief to unauthorized #immigrants since President Barack Obama implemented #DACA. In a separate move on Tues, #Biden is also expected to announce new ways to help people in DACA, known as #Dreamers, gain access to work #visas.
