Immigration News

The inauguration of a new president is always a time of change in the United States, but this has been a particularly big moment for Immigration. The Biden administration has expressed a commitment to acting swiftly and boldly to improve the country’s immigration laws and systems, potentially benefiting millions of individuals. 

Some of Biden’s proposed changes include:

1. Ending the so-called “Muslim Travel Ban”

2. Reforming both employment-based and family-based immigration

3. A comprehensive reform that may allow for a path to permanent residence, and ultimately     citizenship, for DACA recipients, TPS holders, and millions of others currently in the United States

4. Changes to how ICE, CBP, and immigration courts enforce immigration laws

5. Restoring protections for Asylum-Seekers and Refugees

Some of the changes that are being proposed can be quickly enacted by an executive order, signed by President Biden alone. A lot of the changes, however, will require congressional approval. This means that it may take some time to see those changes enacted, and when they are enacted, they may not exactly mirror what President Biden is currently proposing.
