Biden could change the course of immigration

The nominee chosen by the American population to be the 46th president of the country is Joe Biden, who belongs to the Democratic political party and will take office on January 20, 2021. Unlike President Trump, Joe Biden has a positive opinion regarding immigration and plans to restructure local policies to benefit the economy, foreign workers, the most vulnerable immigrant communities and US-based companies, without affecting American citizens.

For the past four years, the Trump government used every tool at its disposal to substantially restrict all kinds of immigration processes, from programs based on employment or family ties, to the political asylum and refugee process. Adding to that, the current administration of the US also expedited deportation proceedings, mainly after the arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic.

Thus, Biden’s victory represents an opportunity for the US to reform its immigration system and offer alternatives according with current times. This is important because most immigration laws belong to other decades, when globalization was not common and international cooperation was not a priority.

In fact, one of the main pillars of the Biden administration is immigration. The president-elect promised to lift Trump’s restrictions on immigration, introduce a bill for Senate approval, restructure the local immigration system, protect vulnerable communities as asylum seekers, and more.

Experts comment on the incoming government’s immigration proposals

The immigration sector has always been quite controversial among the American population. Adding to that, now that the country is going through a presidential transition, the controversy is even greater.

Therefore, dozens of experts have expressed their opinion regarding Biden’s immigration promises, which represent a drastic change compared to the Trump administration and are a gigantic responsibility with immigrant communities in the US.

Experts state that “We are a country of Immigrants and our strength is in our diversity and our cohesiveness” and, therefore, the president-elect must act on the immigration system as soon as he takes office.

Several experts argue that:

• The Biden administration should focus primarily on humanitarian programs such as political asylum and refuge. For many experts, the president-elect’s priority must be the most vulnerable immigrant communities.
• The refugee cap should increase over the next four years and they should have better opportunities to present their cases.
• The Biden government must protect Dreamers, who came to the US without legal documentation when they were minors.
  Currently, DACA is the immigration benefit that protects Dreamers (those who meet the requirements), but this program has been on the tightrope during the Trump administration and does not offer a permanent solution to young immigrants, who are also essential workers.

However, several experts also state that the Biden administration will face multiple obstacles in fulfilling its immigration promises, mainly because the Trump administration drastically changed local policies and reversing some restrictions could take longer than immigrant communities and activists expect.
