Yeah, I'm with you. And there are more stipulations than in the headline. They had to have been married yesterday or earlier (to prevent a bunch of people running off to get married just for this), have been in the country for ten years or more, never been deported, and some other stuff. It seems like a reasonably basis for saying it's better to let the person stay legally than split up the family.

Good. Get people tax numbers so they can legally work and go to school and strengthen the country.
Legal people can report shitty employers and slum landlords. These are the assholes we should deport.
More workers means more homes built means more stuff bought means more businesses means more income.

This feels like a cheap throwaway after he shut the border to asylum seekers. Just papering over his own little fascist border policy
EDIT: just want to be clear its good he's doing this, it just strikes me as particularly insincere right after the other border news.

it is: he's been taking pointless and ineffectual actions like this since he started his presidential campaign to cover for the racist, homophobic and classist bullshit he's done in his 53 year long career and i'm dumbfounded by how well it works every time i see it plastered all over the lemmyverse .

What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

While I don't agree with illegal immigration, it's good to see that at least the ones that have kept their head down, contributed to society and community, and have essentially made themselves part of us at least have the option to make it official without having to split up their family in the meantime.
