The two strongest presidential candidates

The US presidential elections will take place in November, 2020. The two strongest candidates are:

• Current President Donald Trump, who belongs to the Republican political party and seeks to win reelection.
• Former Vice President Joe Biden (during Barack Obama’s term), who belongs to the Democratic political party.

The upcoming elections are particular because the world is going through the global Coronavirus pandemic and multiple emergency measures have been implemented to mitigate the crisis it brought.

It is important to remember that we are not only going through a health crisis, but also a social, political and economic crisis.

Therefore, social discernment is essential to choose the next leader of the US during these uncertain times for humanity. In addition to that, the country is still the main epicenter of the pandemic and whoever is elected must continue to protect the health of the population.

Another of the key pieces for the 2020 elections is the position of the two strongest nominees regarding the immigration sector of the US.

The presidential candidates’ position on immigration

Donald Trump

On the one hand, the Trump government has always focused heavily on reducing legal immigration and eradicating illegal immigration.

The President assures that:

• Mass immigration is an unnecessary burden on the country’s economy.
• Immigrants use local resources excessively.
• The health system is saturated when there is mass immigration.
• Illegal immigration encourages clandestine work.
• Undocumented immigrants use public benefits and many do not pay the mandatory annual taxes, which harms the economic system of the US.

Therefore, since President Trump took office in 2017, he has focused on reducing immigration by increasing restrictions and requirements for several processes.

Nowadays, with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been easier for the current administration to ban immigration and increase restrictions for political asylum seekers, who need international protection.

Joe Biden

On the other hand, Democratic nominee Joe Biden believes that immigration is beneficial and that foreign communities contribute to the socioeconomic development of the country.

Some of Biden’s positions on immigration are:

• Immigrants bring innovation, talent, inspiration and professionalism.
• The US is primarily made up of immigrant communities.
• Foreigners have an entrepreneurial spirit and constantly create small and medium-sized companies that offer jobs and wages for the local population.
• Thousands of immigrants specialize in work areas such as food production, supply, and transportation. Therefore, they are essential for the local market.

Biden plans to change some immigration policies

The Democratic Party nominee recently stated that if he wins the election, he will present a “legal road map” for more than 11 million undocumented immigrants to obtain lawful permanent residence.

In addition to that, Biden wants to help exiled Venezuelans and offer them a legal residence permit as well.

This would substantially change multiple immigration policies implemented by the Trump government during the last three years.

Biden also assures that he plans to stop building the border wall that divides the US from Mexico and he wants to offer support to the well-known “Dreamers”, so that they have more opportunities in the country.
