Biden’s latest border order may embolden migrants to flout immigration laws, commit marriage fraud

Top immigration experts are hammering the Biden administration over its plan to establish so-called “parole-in-place” qualifications for illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens.

The idea of parole-in-place stemmed from a memo crafted by President Bill Clinton in 1998 and has been used since 2016 to categorize non-citizen immediate family members of U.S. service members.

A forthcoming executive order expanding the construct is expected to shield as many as half a million illegal immigrants from deportation.
