The president could start with work permits for some immigrants in California and other states, then create a parole program for Dreamers and undocumented relatives of U.S. citizens.
President Biden campaigned on a promise to legalize millions of long-term undocumented immigrants. For three years, he has managed to deflect criticism for failing to deliver by pointing to the divided Congress. Now, activists are pressuring him to use his authority to protect this essential workforce. The question is whether he can do so without strengthening his MAGA opposition, which thrives on “open borders” hysteria. Should he even try, given the likelihood of litigation? The answer is yes.
By asking Biden to wave his wand and grant work permits for all, advocates may be inadvertently repeating a decades-long pattern of asking for staggering changes at the expense of incremental progress. The all-or-nothing approach has never worked. Seeking work permits instead of citizenship still means asking Biden to unilaterally shield 11 million people.
