Biden Plan Gives 500,000 Immigrant Spouses Amnesty: Here’s What To Know

• Share to Facebook

• Share to Linkedin

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday a program that could grant lawful permanent residency to hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens— the most sweeping immigrant protections in a decade during a presidential year when concern over migration tops voter priorities.

The Biden administration estimates the “parole in place” program will offer amnesty, and a path to legal permanent residency, to 500,000 spouses of U.S. citizens and 50,000 children under 21.

Prior to Monday, many of these individuals were required to leave the country and wait for their applications to be processed abroad, often resulting in a “prolonged, potentially indefinite, period of separation” from their families, DHS said.

Biden attacked former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and rhetoric in announcing the program from the White House Tuesday, accusing him of “trying to play on fear” and “proposing ripping thousands of children away from their families and homes” and placing “them in detention camps,” if he’s reelected, referring to Trump’s plans to arrest and deport undocumented migrants en masse.

Who Qualifies For Biden’s “parole In Place” Amnesty Program?

Eligible applicants must have lived in the U.S. for 10 or more years and have been legally married to a U.S. citizen as of Monday.

Does “parole In Place” Offer A Path To U.s. Citizenship?

The new program will clear barriers to apply for citizenship by allowing eligible applicants to obtain a green card without leaving the U.S. and risking the threat they could be banned from re-entering for living in the country illegally.

How Long Can Immigrants Stay In The U.s. Under The Program?

Qualifying participants would be allowed to live and work in the U.S. for a three-year period while they apply for permanent residency, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which will review applications on a case-by-case basis, including an assessment of potential threat to public safety or national security.

The initiative will also speed up the work visa application process for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), Dreamers and other immigrants without full legal status who have earned a college degree in the U.S. and received a U.S. job offer related to their degree.

The announcement comes on the 12th anniversary of DACA, which was enacted by former President Barack Obama and protects individuals who arrived in the U.S. as children and have lived here for at least five years from deportation.

Chief Critic

The Trump campaign predicted in a statement “Biden’s mass amnesty plan will undoubtedly lead to a greater surge in migrant crime, cost taxpayers millions of dollars they cannot afford, overwhelm public services, and steal Social Security and Medicare benefits from American seniors.” (U.S.-born citizens are more than twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes and 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes as undocumented immigrants, according to a study by the Texas Department of Public Safety).

Biden mumbled inaudibly for several seconds before thanking Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during his White House speech Tuesday, prompting criticism from the Trump campaign. “Is this also a ‘cheap fake’?” campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt tweeted , tagging White House spokesperson Andrew Bates. Leavitt was referring to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre’s statements a day earlier that Trump and his allies had spread a series of “cheap fake” videos of Biden in recent weeks, referring to some that were deceptively edited to make him look confused in public.

24%. That’s the share of respondents in a February Gallup poll who said immigration was the most important problem facing the country, outranking 14 other issues, including the economy, inflation, crime and healthcare.

What To Watch For

The political response from Republicans, which will likely be critical—but possibly cautious, out of concern for alienating potential Latino swing voters who have moved more toward the GOP. Though Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Green, R-Gal, was quick to already call it “a vote-buying free citizenship executive order for illegals bypassing Congress’s law making authority!”

Key Background

The announcement comes as immigration issues have vexed the Biden administration throughout his presidency, amid a surge in border crossings and backlash from Republicans who, at Trump’s behest, have blocked Congress from passing legislation to address the issue. Earlier this month, Biden implemented a new, higher standard for asylum applicants who cross the border illegally, prompting backlash from his progressive base and activists, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued the administration to block the policy. Tuesday’s announcement is expected to placate critics of Biden’s asylum restrictions and appeal to Latino voters, a constituency that polls show increasingly support Trump over Biden, despite the former president’s anti-immigration rhetoric.

Biostatistics Graduate Program

Yuqi tian is first author of jasa paper.

Posted by duthip1 on Friday, June 21, 2024 in News .

Congratulations to Yuqi Tian (PhD 2022), former associate professor Chun Li (now at University of Southern California), soon-to-graduate doctoral candidate Shengxin Tu, Nathan T. James (PhD 2022), and professors Frank Harrell and Bryan Shepherd on the publication of “ Addressing Multiple Detection Limits with Semiparametric Cumulative Probability Models ” in  Journal of the American Statistical Association.  The article first appeared online in April and subsequently in the June print issue, with Dr. Shepherd as corresponding author.

In the words of the abstract: “Detection limits (DLs), where a variable cannot be measured outside of a certain range, are common in research. DLs may vary across study sites or over time. Most approaches to handling DLs in response variables implicitly make strong parametric assumptions on the distribution of data outside DLs. We propose a new approach to deal with multiple DLs based on a widely used ordinal regression model, the cumulative probability model (CPM). The CPM is a rank-based, semiparametric linear transformation model that can handle mixed distributions of continuous and discrete outcome variables. These features are key for analyzing data with DLs because while observations inside DLs are continuous, those outside DLs are censored and generally put into discrete categories. With a single lower DL, CPMs assign values below the DL as having the lowest rank. With multiple DLs, the CPM likelihood can be modified to appropriately distribute probability mass. We demonstrate the use of CPMs with DLs via simulations and a data example. This work is motivated by a study investigating factors associated with HIV viral load 6 months after starting antiretroviral therapy in Latin America; 56% of observations are below lower DLs that vary across study sites and over time. Supplementary materials for this article are available online including a standardized description of the materials available for reproducing the work.”

After graduation, Tian worked as an applied scientist for Uber before joining Mastercard in 2023 as lead data scientist.
