The current immigration system of the US

President Trump used immigration as a pillar to drive his political campaign and win the 2016 election. The way he refers to immigration is consistently negative and derogatory. Therefore, his administration has implemented hundreds of policies that substantially transform the immigration system.

Adding to that, the sudden arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic also contributed to the Trump administration, using the health crisis as a support, increasing restrictions on the immigration sector.

Naturally, since the US is a country where thousands of immigrants reside, his insistence on reducing opportunities for foreigners sparked a wave of controversy among immigrant communities and activists, who claim that his policies harm the lives and future of innocent people.

However, despite President Trump seeking re-election, Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the election and will be the next leader of the US, as of 2021.

Changes Biden will need to make to fix a broken immigration system

Following the November 3 presidential election, the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility and the Center for Migration Studies conducted a comprehensive investigation and analysis, detailing steps the Biden administration must take in order to rebuild the local immigration system during his term and revoke Trump’s immigration policies.

These organizations openly state: “The new administration will face substantial challenges in putting immigration and refugee policy back on track—not just reversing ill-advised policies of the past four years but also improving a system that was in need of reform well before the current administration took office.”

Therefore, among other things and in great detail, these organizations highlight several important aspects of the immigration system that should be the priority of the Biden administration from the first day he takes office:

• Refugee policy.
• Asylum policy.
• Trump’s travel ban.
• Legal immigration reforms.
• Preserve DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
• Immigration detention.
• Border enforcement and accountability.
• Interior enforcement.
• Immigration-related criminal prosecutions.
• Legal access and representation; adjudication backlogs.
• Policies related to COVID-19.
• Segregation of responsibilities within DHS (Department of Homeland Security).

Also, each section of this paper has a series of steps that the Biden administration should take into account to improve the immigration system in the shortest possible time.
