Trump Attacks Biden for Moving to Shield Undocumented Spouses of U.S. Citizens from Deportation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has attacked President
Biden's move to shield from deportation some 500,000 undocumented
immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens. Under the new rules, the
spouses will be able to apply for work permits and permanent residency,
giving them a pathway to citizenship. Trump has vowed to mass-deport
millions of immigrants if he is elected in November. The two candidates
will hold their first debate on July 27. We will have more on Biden's
immigration plan later in the show.
