Half a million immigrants could eventually get U.S. citizenship under
a sweeping new plan from Biden
By SEUNG MIN KIM and

WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Joe Biden ordered an
expansive election-year step
Tuesday to offer potential
citizenship to hundreds of
thousands of immigrants
without legal status in the
U.S., aiming to balance his
recent aggressive crackdown
on the southern border that
enraged advocates and
many Democratic lawmakers.
The president announced
that his administration will,
in the coming months, allow
certain U.S. citizens' spouses
without legal status to apply
for permanent residency and
eventually citizenship with-
out having to first depart the
country. The move could af-
fect upwards of half a mil-
lion immigrants, according to
senior administration officials.
