Biden’s New Approach to Immigration

In January 2021, following the highest-voted election in the US’ history, President Joe Biden arrived to the White House with the firm intention of restructuring the entire immigration system through comprehensive reform.

Initially, Biden’s plan was to remove or rescind certain policies and rules (implemented by his Republican predecessor Donald Trump) that limited, restricted and hindered most existing immigration processes. After that, Biden planned to reshape the local immigration system through a rather ambitious immigration bill and gain bipartisan support in Congress to pass it into law.

However, even since the end of 2020, the US has been experiencing a surge of illegal border crossings, which undoubtedly interfered with Biden’s immigration projects. Thus, his administration has had to change its plans according to the situation.

In fact, in late July 2021, the Biden administration unveiled a new immigration blueprint, which includes proposals such as improving the processing of political asylum cases and lifting strict border policies, but also proposes measures such as increasing deportations, strengthening border enforcement and curbing mass irregular migration at all costs.

Immigrant rights advocates criticize Biden’s plan

After Biden introduced his new immigration blueprint, dozens of immigrant rights advocates, humanitarian organizations and activist groups raised their voices and stated that the current administration is not keeping its promises and is affecting the most vulnerable immigrant communities, especially because Biden’s plan includes the deportation of immigrant families to Mexican territory after being apprehended at the US’ borders.

To give a specific example, a group of more than 100 organizations recently sent a letter to President Biden, stating that the immigration blueprint is ineffective and could become a burden for immigrants who urgently need international assistance. They state, “Far from fulfilling its commitment to build a ‘safe, orderly, and humane immigration system,’ your administration continues to pursue cruel, unlawful, and ineffective deterrence-based policies that extend rather than dismantle the previous administration’s approach to migration.”

With respect to these criticisms, the Biden administration has argued that the country cannot allow irregular migration under any circumstances and that, in light of the health crisis caused by the global Coronavirus pandemic, it is important to reduce the flow of migrants in border territory, which will also allow it to effectively move forward on legal immigration processes.
