The official policy on the latest illegal and unconstitutional Parole Amnesty has been released; the primary purpose of the amnesty is to use the illegal and unconstitutional process called Parole-In-Place (PIP). Fun fact, PIP is also used for another illegal parole amnesty, Public Interest Parole (PIP), which is paroling in aliens who meet the definition of refugee. [Inside The Lawless Biden Regime Administrative Amnesty, by Federale, Federale Blog, January 31, 2022] (h/t WR Flynn)
The amnesty is ostensibly targeted at the alien spouses of American citizens who entered the United States in violation of Title 8 United States Code Section 1325, Improper Entry By An Alien, who by law cannot adjust status in the United States with being subject to a three-year, 10-year, or lifetime bar depending on the time in the United States. It also includes the children of the illegal aliens supposedly provided they were legally adopted by the U.S. citizen step-parent, though this requirement will fall immediately by the wayside as how often does a U.S. citizen adopt an illegal alien minor.
Another fun fact, the statutory language allows illegal aliens to adjust status in the United States who fraudulently obtain admission using a Non-Immigrant Visa (NIV), parole, or Visa Waiver Program (VWP), or overstay after a non-fraudulent admission or parole, which only tells us Congress is not paying attention to what they are doing.
This latest illegal Parole Amnesty, no more legal that the since declared illegal and unconstitutional Obama Regime amnesties, Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA ) and Deferred Action For Parents Of American Citizens (DAPA), also is directed at DACA and all other illegal aliens as well, with waivers for unlawful presence being expedited by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of State (DOS) on applications for employment and other NIVs.
President Joe Biden on June 18 announced that his administration will not deport many illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens or whose parent is married to a U.S. citizen.
Approximately 500,000 spouses of U.S. citizens, as well as about 50,000 children, will be shielded from deportation and given the ability to gain legal status without leaving the United States, the White House said.
The new process requires illegal immigrant adults to have lived in the United States for at least 10 years as of June 17 and to be married to a U.S. citizen. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is managing the program.
Biden Announces Protection Against Deportation for Some Illegal Immigrants, By Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times, June 18, 2024
The Biden Regime seems to be playing games, as this announcement is on the 12th aniversary of DACA, given it was declared illegal, this might be just a election stunt. Hopefully Judge Andrew Hanen will quickly end the program.
But it is not just the DACA illegal aliens that will benefit, all other illegal aliens who have degrees of some sort will be eligible for waivers of grounds of inadmissibility for employment NIVs. Another benefit for the Slave Power to drive down wages of Americans.
In addition, DHS will join the Department of State in an effort to more efficiently facilitate certain employment-based nonimmigrant visas for eligible individuals, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and undocumented noncitizens, who have graduated from an accredited U.S. institution of higher education. By clarifying and enhancing the existing process, the Department of State’s policy will give U.S. employers increased confidence that they can hire the talent they need, and that they will be able to quickly get to work. DHS will implement the Department of State’s policy update.

The claim to legal authority is PIP, which was an authority illegally created and exercised by the Executive Branch prior to 2020, when Congress, using it’s delegated authority in Article I, Section 8, Clause 4, to regulate naturalization and immigration exclusively, created a PIP program for the illegal alien spouses, parents, and children of current and former members of the military services of the United States.
Military Parole in Place (MIL-PIP) is an immigration benefit reserved for military members and veterans, whether alive or deceased, that grants spouses, parents, and sons and daughters temporary permission to be in the U.S. while they pursue permanent legal status.
Those receiving MIL-PIP are eligible for work authorization and do not accrue unlawful presence during the period they receive parole. MIL-PIP also allows family members to apply for immigration benefits that require a lawful entry into the U.S., including those who otherwise might be subject to lengthy unlawful presence bars.
The objective of this benefit is to assure military members can carry out their military duties without being distracted or pre-occupied with the potential deportation of family members who do not have legal immigration status in the U.S. It also serves to honor and recognize the military service of veterans.

The Treason Bar is celebrating the illegal amnesty, simultaneously claiming there is no line for this group of illegal aliens, then admitting that there is a line, but it will mean waiting 10 years outside the United States.
Totally agree it’s a big deal! But it’s important to explain why, accurately. IMHO, it’s not that these people weren’t able to “get in line”—unlike for most people there actually IS a line. It’s just that getting in the line means risking a decade of separation. This fixes that. https://t.co/ehSXmwBP6V

“There is no line, but it’s too long,” the typical dishonesty from the Treason Bar.
One Treason Bar shyster lets the cat out of the bag, PIP is legal for only one small class of aliens.
It is important to note that Parole in Place is NOT new.

There has been a Military Parole in Place program for OVER a decade.
The Trump administration continued Parole in Place granting over 20,000 Parole in Place applications. So this authority has been used by both parties. https://t.co/6DpP3cwDkw
It is interesting that the Biden Regime put qualifiers on eligibility, specifically the requirement that the aliens be in the United States at least 10 years and be married before the announcement. Is this a statutory requirement? Obviously not. It is not in the legislation that created PIP. So, there is no legal basis for the program or any restrictions.
We even have an admission that the original and illegal parole program for military families was created without legislation back in 2007.
2007: DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff ordered the first known parole in place of a military spouse who was facing deportation while her US military husband, Staff Sergeant Alex Jimenez, was missing in action in Iraq.
Lying Deep State Libertarian David J. Bier is also claiming that the limited military PIP statute also authorizes the latest PIP and immigration restrictionists acknowledged that the program was unlimited.
Remember: the nativist Center for Immigration Studies first told the world that the Biden expansion of parole-in-place was authorized by a law enacted by Congress in 2019 and signed by President Trump. What will they say now that it's happened? pic.twitter.com/lEYWPre5Rx

No, Military PIP Is Not For Every Illegal Alien
The Biden Regime is also in another jam, it is claiming that this is a case-by-case review of PIP applications, as the statute for parole in general requires individualized review, but simultaneously claims that over 500,000 illegal aliens will benefit.
Those who are approved after DHS’s case-by-case assessment of their application will be afforded a three-year period to apply for permanent residency. They will be allowed to remain with their families in the United States and be eligible for work authorization for up to three years. This will apply to all married couples who are eligible.
This action will protect approximately half a million spouses of U.S. citizens, and approximately 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a U.S. citizen.

Clearly, there is no “case-by-case” review planned, but only assembly-line approvals, get-to-yes, just as the unindicted visa-fraudster Alejandro Mayorkas did when he was Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
