White House will not fully commit to green card recapture
January 27, 2022
Steven Portnoy of CBS News asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki questions about immigration relief. Portnoy first asked what unilateral authority the President is willing to exercise for immigrant relief that has not yet been tried. Psaki responded by referring to the comprehensive immigration bill Biden pushed forward on his first day in office. The White House also plans to implement more humane immigration measures. Portnoy asked if President Biden is willing to reallocate unused green cards and apply them to immigrants waiting in decades-long green card backlogs. The White House did not reply to the request for comment on Biden’s options for reallocating the unused green cards from past years.
