The immigration sector has the attention of the American population

Throughout history, immigration has always been a controversial and conversational topic in the US. With this, we mean that it is a sector that generates different reactions and opinions among the American public, including members of Congress and different political parties. This is mainly due to the fact that the flow of foreigners in the country is usually quite high and, therefore, there is a part of the population that supports welcoming immigration policies and another part that supports restrictive immigration policies.

Currently, the attention of the local population is strongly focused on immigration, more than usual, essentially because:

• The country changed administrations recently, from former President Trump to current President Joe Biden, and dozens of policies have changed substantially due to their opposing positions when it comes to the immigration sector.
  The Trump administration tried to restrict immigration, while the Biden administration is trying to expand immigration programs, arguing that the US is an immigrant nation.
• The country is facing a surge of illegal border crossings, including unaccompanied minors and entire families, putting Biden’s immigration plans at risk and allowing certain populations and opposition groups to criticize his administration’s policies.

Adding to that, due to restrictions implemented by the Trump administration, including those related to the global COVID-19 pandemic, there is a large backlog of immigration cases, which lengthens waiting times and affects different immigrant populations, including those in need of international protection.

Immigration application backlog increases pressure on the Biden administration

Aside from the substantial increase in mass irregular migration, the Biden administration faces an unprecedented challenge due to the backlog of immigration cases, which is close to 2.6 million visa applications, according to a recent CNN report.

It is important to mention that now that Biden is leading the White House, it is his responsibility to repair the damage caused by his predecessor, Donald Trump, on the immigration system. Although the former president did not win a second term, many of his policies left a lasting impact on almost all immigration processes and the immigration system in general.

In fact, delays in several immigration programs are now 50 to 100 times longer than before former President Trump took office in 2017, posing a threat to the Biden administration’s plans, its immigration bill and its comprehensive immigration overhaul.
