Biden wins the presidential election

The US’ presidential elections took place on November 3, 2020 and due to the number of votes collected in each state, Joe Biden, belonging to the Democratic political party, won the elections and will be the 46th president of the country.

It is important to remember that Biden was vice president during Barack Obama’s term and his opponent, current President Donald Trump, belonging to the Republican political party, did not win reelection.

These elections were particularly special because the two nominees have almost diametrically opposite positions regarding the most important sectors of society such as economy, environment, immigration, employment and the health system.

Adding to that, the arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic is also a controversial issue that requires constant attention to protect the health of the local population. Therefore, the next leader of the nation must continue with the task of improving sanitary conditions in the US.

President Donald Trump and immigration

The current administration of the US, headed by President Donald Trump, has always used immigration as a fundamental piece of its political campaign, arguing that it is detrimental to the country and that it becomes an unnecessary burden on the local economic system.

Thus, the immigration sector has been tremendously affected and restricted during his term. For instance, the Trump administration has substantially restricted business immigration, political asylum and refuge, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Temporary Protected Status (TPS), student immigration, inter alia.

These changes have definitely sparked a gigantic social controversy, mainly after the massive Coronavirus outbreak in the US.

Joe Biden and immigration

The Democratic nominee has quite a different view compared to President Trump when it comes to immigration. Biden assures that the US is a nation of immigrants and that foreign workforce greatly benefits the country, the economy, the local market and the population.

Therefore, he plans to reverse many of the changes implemented by Trump on immigration and allow legal possibilities to expand for foreigners to enter the US and help boost the local economy to overcome the crisis brought by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Therefore, the fact that Biden won the presidential election opens a door of hope for thousands of immigrants who either currently reside in the US without legal documentation, or plan to come to the country, mainly those who  need international protection through humanitarian programs such as political asylum or refuge.
