Problem:
The Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Homeland Security Parole in Place (PIP) Program provides a grant of “parole” for illegal aliens who have unlawfully lived in the United States for ten or more years. Immigrant parole authority is only lawfully extended to aliens entering the United States on a “case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” The PIP Program unlawfully distorts immigration parole authority by allowing illegal aliens the opportunity to adjust their legal status while residing illegally in the United States. Effectively a form of Executive amnesty, the Program provides an illegal pathway to citizenship, undermines our constitutional separation of powers, and, as one of the many Biden-Harris open borders policies, incentivizes illegal immigration.
Action:
AFL partnered with 16 states to sue the Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Homeland Security for creating the “Parole in Place” program.
Result:
AFL VICTORY: The court ruled that the “Parole in Place” program be permanently stopped.
