Presidential elections are approaching

The US presidential elections will take place in November 2020 and the closer that date approaches, the candidates expose their strategies and campaigns to win the elections.

Currently, the two strongest nominees are President Donald Trump (Republican political party) who plans to win re-election and Joe Biden (Democratic political party) who was the vice-president during Barack Obama’s term.

One of the sectors that generates the most social controversy in the US is immigration. The two main candidates for the upcoming elections have a very different vision regarding immigration and their points of view could intervene in the final decision of the local population.

Biden uses immigration as a mainstay of his campaign

One of the most important aspects of the Democratic nominee’s presidential campaign is the reform of the immigration policies in the US.

In fact, Biden mentions on his official website that “Immigrants are essential to the strength of our country and the U.S. economy”.

Therefore, the presidential candidate plans to send several petitions and a new immigration bill to Congress, asking to facilitate citizenship for more than 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Biden also wants to overturn some of the decisions that the current administration of the US has made in recent years.

For instance:

• Restrictions on work visas. Biden argues that the foreign workforce is paramount during these times of crisis.
• Restrictions on international student visas.
• Family separation at the borders of the US.
• Biden plans to modify the “Remain in Mexico” policy, also known as the Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP).

Trump also uses immigration as a mainstay of his campaign

Since President Trump won the 2017 election, one of the key pieces of his campaign has been immigration. However, his views is quite opposite compared to the Democratic Party.

The Trump government ensures that mass immigration is an unnecessary burden on the country’s economic system and diminishes the benefits offered to the local population.

Thus, during the last years, the government has worked tirelessly to reduce illegal immigration by expanding border restrictions, detaining undocumented immigrants around the country, and building the border wall that separates Mexico from the US.

In addition to that, the current administration believes that mass legal immigration can also harm the country. Therefore, the regulations of legal processes and the requirements for immigration applications have recently increased.

Nowadays, amid a global pandemic that threatens public health, restrictions in the immigration sector have increased and several immigrant communities (especially asylum seekers) are going through a difficult time.

However, despite the history of his political campaign regarding immigration, President Trump recently announced that he plans to present an immigration law reform before the presidential election.

According to the president, this proposal will greatly benefit immigrants currently residing in the US.
