Biden is expected to raise the curtain on the new effort during a White House event tied to Saturday's 12th anniversary of the announcement of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), they report. 

The new measure could grant parole in place to unauthorized immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years and are married to U.S. citizens, reports Camilo Montoya-Galvez of CBS News. 

As Miriam Jordan of The New York Times alluded to last week, even someone married to a U.S. citizen often faces 10 years outside the country if they first entered without authorization.   

Montoya-Galvez reports that the Biden administration also is considering a process for Dreamers and other undocumented immigrants to have a path to temporary visas, including H-1B visas for professional workers. 

Speaking of Dreamers, Saturday’s DACA anniversary was celebrated amid uncertainties and delays in renewals, report Rafael Carranza and Raphael Romero Ruiz of the Arizona Republic. "It's our entire lives that have to be renewed," said Natchell Bello, a DACA recipient. 

The piece cites our recent polling in which 68% of registered voters supported Republicans and Democrats working together on legislation that would enable Dreamers to earn legal status and eventual citizenship. This included support among Republicans by a 25-point margin.

‘DOCUMENTED DREAMERS’ — In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, 45 bipartisan lawmakers urge the Biden administration to offer relief to children who arrived legally under their parents’ visas, then aged out, reports Andrew Kreighbaum of Bloomberg Law. The lawmakers propose three actions. "These young people grow up in the United States, complete their education in the American school system, and graduate with degrees from American institutions," the letter says. "[T]he economic case is clear and the moral case is clear. It is common sense." 

GROWTH — Steady job market growth and cooling inflation can be attributed in part to increased immigration, reports Rebecca Picciotto of CNBC. In May, the U.S. added 272,000 jobs, while consumer prices remained stable. Immigrants are "contributing to labor supply in places where it was most badly needed," Goldman Sachs analysts report.  

STATES' RHETORIC — Following Texas' example, Republicans in 11 other states are trying to advance enforcement measures, often incorporating "invasion" rhetoric, reports Jazmine Ulloa of The New York Times. Advocates and scholars have voiced concerns that such measures would increase racial profiling, harm state economies and perpetuate dehumanizing narratives, Ulloa notes. With six state laws enacted or moving, court challenges center on the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration law. 

NEW SKILLS — Seventeen Haitian immigrants have graduated from a program at the New England Culinary Arts Training school taught fully in Haitian Creole, reports Natalie La Roche Pietri of The Boston Globe. "I feel like after the graduation, they have something in their hands to live with, and a skill to provide for their family," said Chef Michelene Desormeau, who created the program. Also in Boston, the nonprofit African Bridge Network offers educated immigrants technical and soft skills training, followed by a paid internship, reports Mimi Wishner Segel of NBC Boston.
