President Biden is weighing giving out green cards to up to 4,000 undocumented immigrants facing deportation, so long as they have resided in the US for at least a decade and have not been convicted of “serious crimes.”
The Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review floated a proposal to make thousands of migrants lawful permanent residents in September 2023, the Daily Mail first reported.
To qualify for the exalted status, the migrants must also have “good moral character” and make the case that they “would suffer exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” if deported.
