The incoming administration will focus on decreasing wait times to obtain citizenship, granting automatic green cards to protected undocumented immigrants and adding immigration judges to decrease backlogs on court hearings, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris said on Tuesday.

Speaking with Univision's Ilia Calderón, Harris teased a sweeping immigration reform bill that her and President-elect Joe Biden's administration plans to introduce. Harris said their bill would grant green cards immediately to immigrants protected by the Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policies. She added that the administration would also try to decrease the amount of time required to acquire U.S. citizenship to eight years from 13 years by making the naturalization process more efficient.

"It's a smarter and much more humane way of approaching immigration," Harris said of their legislative plans.

Harris also said they hoped to add more judges to relieve a backlog on immigration cases — a problem that President Donald Trump frequently used to justify stricter controls at the southern border.

Harris’ comments come just before a group of undocumented activists from across the country plan to join with local faith leaders in Wilmington, Del., on Wednesday morning to demand a meeting with Biden. They plan to pressure him “to make good on his campaign promises, and to act immediately when he takes office next week to protect families,” the advocates said.

The immigrants, organized by the groups RAICES and Movimiento Cosecha, have not yet received a response to their requests for a meeting with the transition team, in which they hope to push for Biden to go beyond his pledges for a temporary moratorium on deportations and the swift rollback of some Trump administration rules and executive orders.

“Reversing Trump’s anti-immigrant policies is a beginning, but it cannot be the end of Biden’s immigration plan,” said Pastor Chelsea Spyres and the Rev. Edwin Estevez, who lead the Grace United Methodist Church and the Riverfront Church in Wilmington.

It takes 13 years to become a citizen after getting a GC?

That sounds wrong. Demise, you mind clarifying?

Wow, that's quite the wishlist.

I think they are going big so that they don't have to give everything away when it comes time.

Where there is a will there is a way. Team Joey and Kammy can certainly get this done if they genuinely want to. If they send over a bipartisan bill to legalize good people in exchange for border security, this we can have a massive deal signed this year. Joey can utilize his past experience in working in the Senate and get something passed, Dicky Durbin should be put on standby to start Dream Act negotiations and Chucky Schumer should leverage his Majority Leader status to bring our bills to the Floor!
