President Joe Biden's latest executive order on immigration gives legal protections to about half a million undocumented immigrants who are married to American citizens, preventing their deportation and providing a streamlined pathway to citizenship for them and their children. The announcement is being welcomed by immigrant rights groups, but comes just weeks after Biden signed another order giving himself far-reaching power to shut down the U.S. border with Mexico to limit asylum requests. The two executive orders "could not be more different from each other," says Congressmember Delia Ramirez of Illinois. She attended Tuesday's White House ceremony with her husband Boris Hernandez, who came to the U.S. as a teenager and would qualify for protections under the new rule, and says Biden must offer an alternative to hard-line Republican policies. "Be the administration that shows the stark difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden as it pertains to immigration. Tuesday was a good step in that direction. What he did two-and-a-half weeks ago was not," says Ramirez.

‼️QUESTION:: Why didn’t Joe Biden address the DACA issue when he first took office… when the Democrats had control of Congress and the White House?? ANSWER:: Because now it’s election season‼️
Exactly! He wants the votes.
Good ol' Joe too little too late...
I think it’s long overdue, so it’s never too late
It’s election time!! 🤣
He's looking for vote's
At least democrats signed all the bills that helped people while trump was in office. Republicans refuse to pass bills like the no gouging bill because they wanted to make people suffer high inflation under Biden. 3/4 of the inflation is as a result of direct actions of republicans in congress right now. My point is politicians often do things to affect votes.
Gaining citizenship is still a multi year wait. It's not a silver bullet that will spring up before the election.
Exactly.
All elected officials are looking for votes. That’s kinda how democracy works, you pass legislature that appeals to people so they can in turn continue to vote for you. Are you new or something?
Rewarding those who broke the law?
But, how they were bought to the U.S as kids ?
Might as well forgive their taxpayer loans while you’re at it.. Joe needs to go
TRUMP2024
I'm getting sick of him and Trump.
Yup. Voting Kennedy for sure.
Deportation is all I'm interested in. We've suffered enough!!
You’re not doing us no favors we don’t need your jobs we want our reparations we want to build our own states
Trump 24 🇺🇸 🎯 Americans have there own problems, America is not the only country.
My question would be if there are proposals to address this migration crisis at it’s root cause, which predominantly stem, as far as I heard, from drug cartel activity in these South American and Central American countries.
Giving free unmitigated access through the border was a bandaid solution to what is actually a gashing wound of a problem, at an international level. States that naturally vote blue like New York, Illinois, and California have been negatively impacted by this with things like having huge portions of state funds being directed to the shelter and care of migrants, thereby disavowing Black and Latin community, who are naturalized citizens, of important community funding.
Edit: I should also add, even crime rates through the respective urban areas are increasing due to the fact, without proper screening, drug cartels and those in their employ have gotten through.
The "root causes" and the drug cartels have always existed. But today migrants have smartphones, internet, and social media, so they can easily find out how to get into the U.S.
At this point, im so fucked. Lol ..
Can i just move to Germany?
Well,if central and south America is letting go their inmates and psych wards to have them go to North America…..might be a safe move to tropical paradise 🤔
Of course a "latina" is encouraging and supporting more of her own to come... It's pretty sick that she's more concerned with her own, than with the wellbeing of US citizens in the country she came to.
I agree. Latinos are not US citizens.
You should educate yourself more before making a comment. Maybe do some soul searching. You seem very cold to fellow humans from another country. Everyone in this country came from immigrants except the native americans. Non citizens actually pay taxes with itin number, but cannot get social benefits like you can.
"Now we want immigrants to compete for your high paying jobs"
Saboteur levels of incompetence in messaging here.
CLOSE THE BORDERS.
send them back
United States is facing a labor shortage, or worker shortage crisis, as of May 2024. This means that there are more open jobs than unemployed people, making it difficult for employers to find enough workers to fill positions. As of December 2023, there were 9.03 million job openings in the US, which is 5.4% of all nonfarm jobs in the country. However, the gap between job openings and unemployed people is shrinking. In January 2024, there were 6.12 million unemployed people in the US, or 3.7% of the workforce.
And yet, government statistics say….58% of illegal migrants are illiterate ,unskilled, and do not speak English. They never learn English and lack the capabilities to learn a trade. The majority stay on welfare more than 10 years. That’s what government studies findings are.
Build that Wall 🧱 📣📣📣 Now!!
u sound insecure
@@lilbabydoodoohe sounds sensible to me, lady
@@Dogatemyhomework927 lol @ ur comment history. troll.
they've escaped the law for years!
Children brought by their parents aren’t criminals. If they grow up here it’s where they’re from, and the country their parents are from is as alien as you moving to another country. Some don’t even speak the language. They group here and marry just like anyone else. U see his law they would have to be married for ten years. Means most are likely here from youth. It’s a horrible situation they have been placed in.
@@OK-pi6fq Yes, it's a bad situation for those children. But the people to blame, who put them in this situation, are their parents who brought them here, where they would have no legal status. It's them (the parents) that bear ultimate responsibility for their kids being in this situation.
Why can’t it be made part of an irrevocable immigration protected law?
Well, the closest we can get to "irrevocable" would be a constitutional amendment, and those are very hard to do. Amendments need to be approved by three-quarters of the states (so 38 states).
Voter ID!!! Like all other civilized countries
What’s happened to the children? 😢
Did you say that about the blacks and whites here. No
Illegal is illegal
Sex slaves…..the cartel are in e etc state , business is great!
Propaganda now

Great stuff. The US needs politicians like Delia Ramirez. "No BS".
No thank you
She should ask George Soros for help.
Soros for help what are you talking about ?
@@ArmandoLuis1318George Soros is the biggest sugar daddy for the Democratic Party.
You must seek help from a mental health professional, asap.
@@ArleeStarr Do you know anything about Soros and his agenda?
It’s a good call. As far as illegals go it’s the version I’ve always worried about. People raised here, and in fear of being sent to a country they’ve never known. Or removed from a family you created.
As a practical matter nothing will happen. It will be tied up in court.
She's a anchor baby.
you lost
You said nothing. She's an anchor baby deal with it. Why does it bother you that I am letting people know families who game the system are infiltrating our government? Birthright citizenship was made for black American slaves. It wasn't made for anyone who drops their kid on our side of the border. Her husband should be deported and her citizenship revoked under false pretense. Let's hope trump makes it happen!
Words have meanings, you are close, but no wrong definition.
@@kellythompson7503 why?
@tuckerbugeater No, America lost…welcome to the intensional destruction of America.

ET go home
Delia is our rep, and I love her!!! She is amazing for the hard work she is doing for real people. She has such a heart for making change! My question is how do we get this to move from executive order to law??? Because if the administration changes, they will simply negate the executive order. This is such a hopeful and amazing step for many wonderful hardworking families that I know and love, but I want to know that they will be safe if a different administration comes in even 4 1/2 years from now (I’m counting on Biden being re-elected).
In order for it to become law, it has to be done by Congress, and then signed by the President. The problem is that the two sides are too far apart on the issue. Neither side has all the votes they need to get their way. What's needed is a Trifecta, with the same party having the Presidency,, a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate (that's 60 Senators, not just 51). and a simple majority in the House.
@@sylviabargas3340 it would also help if we had gotten rid of the filibuster when we had the chance.
@@sylviabargas3340 mine was really more of a rhetorical question because I worry that any executive action (while wonderful in the here and now) can simply be reversed in the future, putting people back in danger.
@@debidallacosta5736 Getting rid of the filibuster is a two-edged sword: Great when your party is in power but terrible when the other party is.
@@debidallacosta5736 Wonderful in the here and now? Don't count on it. It will be tied up in court until after the election. Don't expect anything to come of it before then.
I think we should have amended the 14th amendment. Birth citizenship by territory and not parentage is stupid
Well, Trump has vowed to end birthright citizenship if he is reelected. But anything he does will end up being decided by the Supreme Court.
Anchor babies😡
January 1863 we want our reparations put that on the ballot long overdue, stop the propaganda and put reparations on the ballot
I can't stand to see or hear this lying war criminal anymore. Meaningless.
RFK JR. WILL CONTINUE AND MORE ON THIS!!! LET'S GET RFK JR. TO OFFICE!
I’m the same way
How much did Biden have to pay her for his opinion. Certainly, most everyone sees Biden's lack of attention to the Border crisis.
What would she say about Gaza?
Rosa is a selish self centered mexican who wants the US passport on the lives of Palestinian.
Those with less than half a brain know that she co-sponsored the ceasefire act, H-Res 786.
Just pardon them
So you admit they’re criminals🤔
@@CarriUSA i acknowledge recent administrations have illegally persecuted many Americans under an unAmerican ignoring of the constitutional right of everyone living in the US to citizenship. However, I also acknowledge that Biden is a coward for pretending he cant fix the problem without congress considering Reagan pardoned immigrants not six administrations ago
If Trump gets in We'll All end up in Mexico
Get a head start..
