An executive order by President Joe Biden is set to benefit thousands of California kids by creating a legal pathway to residency for their undocumented parents. The new policy allows undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for permanent residency without leaving the country. This is likely to be instrumental in stabilizing families, enhancing finances, and fostering improved mental health for children, hence improved educational outcomes and all-round well-being.
The order fills a serious gap in immigration policy, helping to keep families together and reducing the anxiety associated with potential deportations. Facilitating legal status for parents, it helps create a more secure environment for children so that they can perform better educationally and integrate socially. This is part of Biden's broader effort at reforming the immigration system to provide more humane and practical solutions to some very long-standing issues.
