Jonathan Blitzer in the New Yorker lauds President Biden’s recent executive action providing relief to undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens:

“A couple of weeks ago, at the White House, President Joe Biden announced the most consequential act of immigration relief in more than a decade. He gave roughly half a million undocumented spouses of citizens a path to permanent legal status, on the condition that they have lived here since at least 2014 and pass a criminal-­background check. “I refuse to believe that to secure our border we have to walk away from being American,” Biden said. `The Statue of Liberty is not some relic of American history.’”
