Announced in June by President Biden, the initiative offered an estimated half a million unauthorized immigrants a chance to get temporary legal status and a streamlined path to permanent residency, if they were married to U.S. citizens and had lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years without committing serious crimes. But a federal judge halted the policy almost immediately after it took effect in late August, agreeing with Republican-led states that argued the program flouted U.S. immigration law.

Fuc'em....put it toward the debt this debacle contributed to........
 
Meanwhile, a good friend of mine has been dealing with the feds for 2 years trying to get his Brazilian wife the ability to move to the US legally. It's bizarro world when resources are used to help people here illegally instead of people trying to follow the law.
 
Ironically my wife applied for US citizenship. She's here legally :)

We're not getting a refund :(

With stories like this it's amazing that this administration perists with attempts to flout the law.
