A collection of 16 Republican states, led by Texas, sued the Biden administration on Friday over its “parole in place” immigration program.
The states claimed the program, which would create a pathway to citizenship for thousands of illegal immigrants, illegally bypassed Congress in order to create the pathway for “political purposes,” per CBS News.
“This action incentivizes illegal immigration and will irreparably harm the Plaintiff states,” the suit said.
The program, which was launched on Monday, allows spouses of American citizens to stay in the country legally and apply for a green card. They would also be on the path to becoming American citizens.
