Navigating the Future: Trump's Immigration Plans vs. Biden's Policies

July 22, 2024

As an immigration law firm deeply committed to serving our diverse clientele, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in American politics. With the 2024 elections looming on the horizon, the future of immigration policies in the United States hangs in the balance. In this blog post, we delve into the potential trajectories under two contrasting visions: former President Donald Trump's campaign promises and President Joe Biden's current policies.


Trump's Vision for Immigration


Former President Trump's approach to immigration during his campaign and previous administration was characterized by a focus on border security, stricter enforcement measures, and significant restrictions on legal immigration pathways. Key aspects of his proposed immigration agenda might include:


  1. Border Security: Emphasizing the construction of a border wall and enhanced security measures to curb illegal immigration.
  2. Restrictive Policies: Tightening eligibility criteria for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants seeking legal residence or citizenship.
  3. Merit-Based System: Advocating for a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes highly skilled workers and limits family-based immigration.
  4. DACA and Dreamers: Continuing efforts to repeal DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and potentially offering a pathway to legal status for Dreamers through legislative reforms.
  5. Temporary Work Visas: Potentially reducing or restructuring temporary work visas like H-1B visas to prioritize American workers.


Biden's Current Immigration Policies


President Biden's administration has taken a markedly different approach, focusing on inclusivity, humane treatment, and reforming the immigration system. Key elements of Biden's current immigration policies include:


  1. Pathway to Citizenship: Supporting legislation like the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which proposes pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, DACA recipients, and farmworkers.
  2. Border Management: Emphasizing a balanced approach to border security while addressing root causes of migration from Central America.
  3. Refugee Admissions: Increasing the cap on refugee admissions and restoring the U.S. asylum system to prioritize humanitarian concerns.
  4. Family Reunification: Prioritizing family-based immigration by reducing backlog and wait times for visa processing.
  5. Work Visas and Employment-Based Immigration: Promoting policies that support high-skilled workers and enhance the efficiency of visa processing.
