Washington, DC – Lawmakers at the US House of Representatives this month ahead President Joe Biden’s $ 1.75-trillion housing plan, which aims to improve human security and address climate change over the next 10 years.
Members of the Biden’s Democratic Party tried to enact legislation that would provide a way for more than 11 million citizens. not to travel to another country without documents lives in the United States.

Under the auspices of the BBB bill, an estimated 6.8 million immigrants living in the US before 2011 are eligible for parole. This appointment will provide them with five years’ protection from permanent residence, work permits, travel permits and the possibility of obtaining a driver’s license.
This process includes registration form, payment of fees and back check. Recipients can renew their profile for another five years. The program will end in 2031. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that donations will cost more than $ 100bn over the next 10 years.

“We are fighting for citizenship,” said Murad Awawdeh, chief of the New York Immigration Coalition. “Choosing parole is a last resort … trying to find something.

The plan comes as Biden meets climb running to fulfill the promise of a US-led immigration reform program and to change some of the policies of Donald Trump’s successors. Shortly after taking office in January, Biden issued a idea placing undocumented migrants on the eight-year route to citizenship.
About 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the US, with most of Mexico following Central America. Many have lived in this world for many years or for many years. Immigrant advocates say that without a job, they have difficulty finding employment, health care, and education, and are easily fed, among other problems.

This is why immigration officials say parole is not shortened. “It’s not good,” said Hadi Sedigh, a policy specialist at the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), a human rights group.
“The good news is that migrants need to do well and participate in the day-to-day support groups,” he told Al Jazeera. “This package does not offer this. It is a responsibility that is guaranteed to end in 2031 without a clear step for the millions of people who have taken part in this process.”
