U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner reacts to looming crisis on 'FOX News Primetime'
Harris said the administration plans to create "greater efficiencies" to streamline the naturalization process, including decreasing the amount of time required to acquire U.S. citizenship from 13 years to eight years, offering certain members of the Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programs automatic green cards and adding immigration judges to help eliminate backlogs on court hearings.
"We believe it is smarter and a more humane way of approaching immigration for immigrants," Harris said.
The full plan will be sent to Congress on President-elect Joe Biden's first day in office.
