Parole in Place Scheme: Just before the presidential election in November, the White House has announced that the government will allow people living without documents to apply for residency and citizenship in the United States. This can benefit more than five lakh people. This scheme is called Payroll in Place Green Card.
These people may be eligible for citizenship under this scheme
Parole is a law that allows undocumented immigrants and their families to live in the country without fear. They can apply for permanent citizenship. People living without documents are considered illegal. And not just America, no country can accept them. Under the proposed scheme, people who have lived in the US for at least ten years after marrying an American citizen or children whose parents are married to an American citizen can also be eligible. In a way, this is human rights parole. This scheme will allow five and a half lakh people to live and work in America. Apart from this, they can also get approval for green card to become legal.
This plan is important for those who are not Americans
This scheme is important for those whose spouses are not Americans. Lack of documentation forces them to remain isolated for a long time which has an overall impact on productivity. Now this new proposal can reduce this gap. Joe Biden's proposal is being seen as an election stunt. On the other hand, presidential candidate Donald Trump said that if he comes to power, he will deport people living without documents. It is worth noting that about 1.2 lakh Indians are waiting for Green Card.
