Moving yet again to streamline the immigration process, the Obama administration on Friday proposed new hardship rules to make it easier for illegal immigrants to apply for legal status and stay in the country if they have a family member who is here legally.

The Obama administration on Friday proposed new hardship rules that would make it easier for illegal immigrants to apply for legal status and stay in the country if they have a spouse or parent already living here legally.

With Congress gridlocked on an immigration bill, the Obama administration is considering using a back door to stop deporting many illegal immigrants - what a draft government memo said could be "a non-legislative version of amnesty."
He said the new rule wouldn't change who ends up getting legalization, but only lets those who are applying stay in the U.S. while their applications are pending.
Mr. Mayorkas said his agency is not expanding the number of people who would be eligible for waivers, but rather allowing applicants to wait in the U.S. while those waivers are processed.
