Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and 15 state attorneys general signed on to a lawsuit in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas on Friday attempting to stop a new plan from the Biden administration that would give over 1 million illegal aliens citizenship.
This week, the Department of Homeland Security implemented Keeping Families Together, a process for certain noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to request parole in place.
According to America First Legal, the amnesty plan known as “Parole in Place” would allow illegal aliens who have been unlawfully present in the United States for ten or more years to receive a grant of “parole” without leaving the United States and attempting to come back and apply for admission if the alien is the spouse of a U.S. citizen. Stepchildren of U.S. citizens only need to have entered the United States before June to qualify.
“There are many millions of people around the world who would like to live in America for one reason or another, and they are welcome to come here — provided that they follow the rules. It is disgraceful for the President and Border Czar Harris to abandon our immigration laws over and over, which sends the message that the border is no more than a line in the sand,” William Califf, a spokesman for Marshall, said on Friday.
The coalition of attorneys general and America First Legal also seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop the Biden-Harris Administration from proceeding with its plans to provide immediate executive amnesty.
