Biden tries to promote comprehensive immigration overhaul

Immigration is a mainstay for the Biden administration. By this, we mean that since President Biden launched his political campaign for the 2020 elections, he has constantly emphasized the need to reform the entire immigration system and adopt policies that benefit international cooperation strategies and current global needs, which would boost the local economy and multiple markets.

President Biden took office on January 20, 2021, and during his first days and weeks in office, both he and his cabinet used several executive actions to revoke, remove, and rescind restrictive policies implemented by the Donald Trump administration on the immigration system.

Through these executive actions, the Biden administration hopes to pave the way to promote the first comprehensive immigration reform since the 80s and implement lasting changes to local immigration processes, including all kinds of immigrant and non-immigrant communities, from highly skilled foreign workers to the most vulnerable immigrant populations such as asylum seekers and refugees.

In fact, the Biden administration recently unveiled a fairly comprehensive immigration bill, which is currently under congressional review and needs approval from both the US House of Representatives and the Senate to become law.

Democratic Members of Congress are essential to the Biden administration

Currently, by a fairly narrow majority, the two branches of Congress are led by Democratic members, which could be an advantage for the Biden administration and its immigration plans.

However, it is important for the Biden government to make assertive decisions when it comes to the immigration system even before Congress approves or rejects its immigration bill, primarily regarding the surge of illegal border crossings, unaccompanied immigrant minors in the custody of border forces, and the number of asylum seekers currently waiting at the US-Mexico border.

The increase in massive irregular migration, mainly from Central America, is putting Biden’s immigration projects at risk and is creating doubts and uncertainty among Democratic members of Congress, worsening the situation.

Democrats are also commenting on the current border situation

It is important for the Biden administration to have Democratic members of Congress on its side. However, some Democrats have criticized Biden for lifting Trump’s restrictions at a fairly rapid pace without anticipating the consequences and without controlling the situation at the borders.

For instance, Henry Cuellar, a Democratic member of the US House of Representatives, who also supports border communities, states that the Biden administration must address the flow of undocumented migrants at the borders before the situation gets out of control and affects its immigration projects.

Members like Cuellar are extremely important for the Biden administration to have the support of Congress and promote comprehensive immigration reform, which also includes a different approach to border policies and conditions in Central American countries.
