Joe Biden announced an executive order that will provide an estimated 10,000 illegal immigrants in Nevada a path to legal status, protecting them from deportation.

To qualify, applicants must be married to a U.S. citizen, have lived in the United States for at least 10 years, and pass a background check. If their application is approved, they will have three years to apply for permanent residency or work authorization, also known as a green card.

Nevada Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto highlighted that nearly 136,000 U.S. citizens in Nevada have at least one undocumented family member, and that 10,500 “Dreamers” (undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children) are contributing to the community and paying taxes.

Trump’s campaign criticized the policy, claiming it would encourage illegal immigration. They emphasized that this policy does not provide a direct path to citizenship.

Biden’s campaign acknowledged that while there are 12,400 DACA beneficiaries in Nevada, not all will be eligible under the new order’s criteria.

Disclaimer: The image has been digitally manipulated using Photoshop/AI to serve as a reenactment, enhancing its role in visual storytelling. The original sign read: “No deporten a los niños.” The new message, “Don’t deport me, Papa Joe!” is meant to add a touch of lightness to an otherwise serious and controversial topic.
