Immigration under the Trump administration

Today, the US is a multicultural country that, over the years, has embraced multiple cultures, communities, customs, and talents from other regions of the world. This is mainly due to the fact that the local immigration system offers many alternatives and options for foreigners to come to the country, either to gain work experience, travel, invest, study, visit family members, create entrepreneurship projects, inter alia.

The immigration sector in the US has been relatively stable in the hands of recent administrations, which have improved the structure of the immigration system, but have also implemented programs and benefits for immigrant communities, mainly the previous administration, led by Barack Obama.

However, the current administration, led by President Donald Trump, has definitely changed recent history of the immigration sector. His ideals propose to reduce immigration to protect employment and American sovereignty, a premise that has been contradicted by multiple studies recently conducted.

During his term, President Trump has tried to:

• On many occasions, remove the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that prevents deportation of immigrants who came to the US as minors.
• Reduce legal immigration, primarily employment-based immigration, arguing that foreign workforce tends to be less expensive and therefore reduces job opportunities for American citizens.
• Remove the Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which protects immigrants from countries that are experiencing adverse circumstances such as natural disasters, civil war or armed conflict.
• Modify and restrict the political asylum and refuge process.

President Trump seeks re-election

The US presidential elections will take place in November 2020 and President Trump is seeking re-election, which could represent a fairly structured transformation of the immigration system as we know it.

In fact, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official stated that Trump’s senior adviser Stephen Miller, who is known as the “architect of current immigration policies,” has multiple executive orders ready to be used if President Trump wins a second term. These orders involve immigration processes.

Based on comments and testimonials, Miller’s plans include:

• Almost completely reduce chances to obtain political asylum.
• Permanently remove the TPS.
• Remove the right to citizenship for children of immigrants born in the US.

Hence, it is imperative to take into account the social and economic repercussions of reducing immigration substantially.

The guide you need for your immigration process

It is important to clarify that the efforts of the Trump administration are mainly related to eradicating illegal immigration. However, legal processes run their regular course and can offer you an option to fulfill your dreams.
