    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Looking to shore upĀ Latino votesĀ in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden isĀ on the verge ofĀ soon followingĀ up last weekā€™s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with anotherĀ moveĀ focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants who are married to American citizens.

    To tamp down criticism among many leading Latino and immigration advocacy groupsĀ overĀ Bidenā€™s executive actionĀ cracking down on border crossings, several operatives connected with the president spent days quietly reassuring leaders that more was coming.

    Michelle Lujan Grisham, who also flew to Washington to stand with Biden at the White House on Tuesday, said the new moves on the border are extremely important ā€” and that the next steps also will beĀ keyĀ to voters in her state and across the Southwest come November.

    As the panic among Biden aides about the drop-off in Latino support has been mounting around the reelection campaign, pressure for more policy moves from Democratic lawmakers and immigrant advocacy groups has beenĀ growingĀ for months.

    Alex Padilla of California, Dick Durbin of Illinois and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada publicly called for protections to be extended to long-term undocumented immigrants in the United States, including the spouses of American citizens and their caregivers.

    ā€œThis is the first time that I can recall that a Democratic position is, ā€˜OK, letā€™s be all for the border and not fight for relief ā€” for DREAMers, for farmers, or anyone whoā€™s a long-term resident of the United States who happens to be undocumented,ā€ Padilla told CNN after Tuesdayā€™s announcement.
