White House weighs immigration relief for spouses of US citi

That's part of why there's a process of weeding out the 'green card' marriages from the real ones. Unfortunately the White House wants to pretend that they're all real just for the sake of pandering for votes. 

Jesus also said to 'render unto Caesar what is Caesar's,' which essentially means we're still to follow the laws of the land and pay taxes to the authorities. Except in rare circumstances, we're to obey the civil authorities which, in the U.S., means we follow the laws.

I thought that the green card process for spouses would be quick.  

But for American to marry an illegal in America should definitely not protect illegal from deportation.

What does the unemployment rate have to do with sending checks to fully employed people? To be frank, on a purely economic basis, the pandemic was financially beneficial to me, as it probably was for many people who were able to remain fully employed. I was working from home, saving on gas and commute time, and the government was sending me checks. Obviously many people suffered, but shouldn't those checks have been targeted towards them?

I agree with you about the foreign spouses of a US citizen. The process is too long and too complicated. It took my coworker almost two years to get his wife into the country. Far too long. The path of legal immigration must be reformed.

Your solution sounds simple, but it isn't. You know that. I agree that Biden doesn't have the authority on his own to do this, but the policy (depending on the details of course) is such common sense that it should easily pass Congress. But it won't. It wouldn't. And it is solely because the Congress knows they have constituents who will vote them into office based on the 'simple solution'. It's so simple that for my entirely life illegal immigration has been an issue, and nothing seems to be done about it. Why?
