The US immigration sector

Thousands of immigrants yearn to be able to fulfill the well-known “American Dream”, which refers to the ideal of building a promising, dignified, secure future, with opportunities and prosperity.

That is why the US has always been attractive to immigrant communities. With this, we refer to the fact that it is the destination of both immigrants who need international protection while trying to flee danger of their countries, and foreigners who, with their work and investment, want to contribute to the socio-economic development of the country.

Therefore, because it is a world power and a first world country, the immigration system of the US offers multiple alternatives for foreigners to apply for a legal entry or residence permit. There are immigration processes based on family, employment, study, as well as humanitarian programs such as political asylum, refugee or Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

Immigration faces a crossroads today

Currently, the controversy surrounding immigration is gigantic. This is mainly because the Trump administration, unlike the previous administration, has a fairly strict stance when it comes to the immigration sector and has implemented hundreds of changes and policies that substantially restrict legal immigration.

During his term, the number of visas issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has significantly reduced, mainly employment-based visas, which has received countless criticism and, in fact, the Trump administration faces multiple legal complaints due to these restrictions.

Other than that, President Trump’s consistent focus on illegal immigration has:

• Decreased possibilities for undocumented foreigners in the US.
• Increased detention operations across the country, led by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
• Worsened conditions in immigration detention centers.
• Expedited deportation processes.
• Encouraged the construction of a border wall that separates the US from Mexico.
• Used the global Coronavirus pandemic as a means to reduce immigration.

Presidential elections will define the future of immigration

The future of immigration rests in the hands of the American people, primarily because today’s presidential elections will define the course that immigration will take.

If President Donald Trump wins re-election, the immigration sector is likely to face even more restrictions, and because the local economy relies heavily on foreign workforce, the US could have a harder time overcoming the economic crisis brought by the global Coronavirus pandemic and ceasing to be attractive to immigrant communities, which is the purpose of the current administration.

If former Vice President Joe Biden wins the election, it is very likely that opportunities for immigrants will increase and there will be more legal processes available, as his administration plans to reduce illegal immigration through legal alternatives, a vision a little more cosmopolitan, inclusive and less arbitrary compared to President Trump’s.

Therefore, to assertively elect the next leader of the nation, it is imperative to take into account the immigration sector, mainly because the future of immigrants in the US depends entirely on these elections.
