President Joe Biden introduced earlier this year an executive order earlier that provides a pathway to citizenship for undocumented spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens. Now, 14 Republican senators are seeking to get rid of it.
The Senators— which include both from Texas, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz— filed the Visa Integrity Preservation Act of 2024, which would require non-citizens who entered the United States illegally or overstayed their visa for more than six months to leave the United States and then apply for parole.
