President Biden’s thoughts went for “immigrants who were brought to the US illegally as children, for foreign-born people who have temporary protected status due to strife in their birth countries and for farm workers.”
He called for build a pathway to citizenship for such people
“It’s dreams of immigrants like you that built America and continue to inject new energy, new vitality, new strength,” he said.
In February, Biden and Democrats had proposed big immigration changes that implied provisions for an eight-year route to citizenship for some 11 million people living illegally in the US. The move was blocked by Republican lawmakers.
To make a point in favour of some system, President Biden cited his own situation saying generations ago his own family came from Ireland.
