Improving the immigration sector is a priority for the current administration

Since President Biden launched his political campaign for the November 2020 elections, both he and his team have consistently emphasized the need to improve the immigration system and stimulate local policies to promote comprehensive immigration reform.

The Biden administration’s vision and stance when it comes to the immigration sector is diametrically opposed to the previous administration’s, led by former President Donald Trump. In fact, over the past four years, Trump and his cabinet used multiple tools and resources to restrict immigration, decrease the number of foreigners in the US, and hinder legal processes, including options for highly skilled foreign workers and immigrants in need of international protection who try to flee from danger, abuse, persecution, war and violence.

Thus, the fact that the Democratic nominee took the victory during the US’ most recent presidential election denotes a drastic change and will transform the future of immigration at regional level. Since President Biden took office nearly a month ago (January 20, 2021), his administration has reversed multiple policies implemented by Trump, lifted restrictions on the immigration system, and rescinded rules that incentivized the separation of immigrant families at the borders and mass deportations, including unaccompanied minors.

Adding to that, the Biden administration has also unveiled several action plans and strategies related to humanitarian programs to improve the political asylum process in the US, increase the annual refugee limit, and protect young immigrants who came to the country without legal documentation as minors.

Biden’s immigration plans generate different reactions

Biden’s immigration plans and his immigration reform bill have generated different reactions among immigrant communities, immigrant rights advocates, the American population, and opposition groups.

Let’s see why:

• Since Biden’s stance on immigration differs from Trump’s, immigrant communities that have been through difficult situations over the past four years hope that the Biden administration will increase viable alternatives for them and allow them to enter the US soon or request legal residence permits. This includes the most vulnerable immigrant communities.
• The number of people arriving at the borders has increased considerably since President Biden took office. Therefore, several opposition groups point out that Biden’s immigration promises could trigger a humanitarian crisis at the borders or an immigration crisis within the US if it does not implement effective strategies to curb and control irregular immigration.
• Immigrant rights advocates and activist groups are constantly urging the Biden government to expedite immigration plans and protect the most vulnerable immigrant populations such as asylum seekers currently residing at Mexico’s borders under the MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols) or families separated at the borders under Trump’s “Zero Tolerance Policy”.

Thus, the Biden administration faces a gigantic challenge and must act cautiously and assertively to deliver on its immigration promises without affecting the American population in times of crisis. Adding to that, the current president must find the right balance between immigration policies and projects proposed by activist groups, which continually hold him accountable for his immigration proposals.
