Republicans present a new immigration plan

On Wednesday, March 17, 2021, several Republican members of Congress announced that they will introduce an immigration reform plan, which, in their opinion, could significantly improve the US’ immigration system.

Republican members, including Rep. Fred Upton and Sen. Lindsey Graham, presented the “Dignity Program” for Congress approval. This immigration plan proposes, among other things:

• Protection for young immigrants brought to the US as minors, known as “Dreamers”.
• A path to legal status for immigrants who have a clean criminal record and meet certain eligibility requirements.
• Programs to improve English proficiency among immigrant communities in the US.
• Measures to curb irregular immigration and control the situation at the US’ southern border.

Republican members also stated that Congress did not approve some of former President Trump’s proposals to increase surveillance and protection at the borders and that is one of the reasons why it now needs to pass new proposals to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe under the Biden administration.

Upton, who is one of the Republican members leading this immigration reform plan, stated during the conference, “We could pass a bill in the House and Senate for the president Biden to sign.”

The American public’s attention to immigration

During the last four years (2017-2021), under the Donald Trump administration, the US immigration system changed significantly because the former president had the purpose of reducing immigration at all costs.

Now that Joe Biden is leading the country’s administration, the local immigration system is sure to change again because the current president has a diametrically opposite view to Trump’s and strongly supports immigration.

Thus, aside from the fact that it has always been quite controversial on its own, the immigration sector is drawing the attention of the American public now more than in the past due to a substantial increase in illegal border crossings and immigration bills that are currently under congressional review.
