Biden Emphasizes the Need to Open a Path to Citizenship
Pressure mounts after DACA ruling
Since his arrival at the White House in January 2021, President Biden and his team have faced a gigantic challenge when it comes to the immigration sector, which clearly includes not only legal immigration programs, but also foreign nationals currently residing in the US undocumented and irregular immigration in general.
To give a specific example, Biden’s immigration plans have been tremendously affected due to the recent ruling by a Texas judge, who stated that DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), a deportation relief program, is not legitimate as it was not properly implemented by the Barack Obama administration in 2012.
DACA is one of the most well-known, and at the same time most controversial, immigration programs in the US. Thanks to this benefit, hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants, called Dreamers, have found temporary protection from deportation over the past nine years. They have also been able to work and study legally under this program.
The Texas judge ordered the immediate suspension of initial DACA applications, leaving thousands of Dreamers without any guarantee for their future in North America. This fact sparked unrest within the Biden administration, which supports Dreamers and is promoting immigration reform to offer them a path to citizenship.

President Biden still plans to promote a path to citizenship
A day after the DACA ruling, President Biden released a statement on the official White House website, arguing that his administration still plans to garner support in Congress to open a path to permanent legal residence and eventually American citizenship for Dreamers who meet certain eligibility requirements.
Adding to that, on Sunday, July 25, 2021, President Biden said in a short interview that he still firmly intends to offer lasting and even permanent benefits for Dreamers, who are now an essential part of the local workforce and consistently drive the national economy from all kinds of sectors.
Biden openly stated “There must be a pathway to citizenship”. However, President Biden did not elaborate on how he plans to pass this type of legislation in Congress, considering that gaining bipartisan support does not seem a viable path right now due to the debate surrounding the surge of illegal border crossings.
