16 Sep Trump and Biden Take Sharply Different Paths on Immigration
Family Separations
Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy in 2018 that prosecutes border crossings by migrants with no documents resulted in thousands of children forcibly separated from their legal guardians and parents detained on the Mexican border.
Biden aims to abolish the prosecution of guardians facing minor immigration violations, with his priority being in reuniting any children currently facing separation from their families, possibly by calling on the help of an immigration lawyer in Los Angeles.
Coronavirus Restrictions
Travel and immigration into the US during the COVID-19 pandemic has been drastically halted by Trump, arguing that this had to be done for health reasons along with the need to protect the jobs of US workers.
At the same time, Biden tweeted that Trump was using the banning of immigrants, who unfortunately have no access to law offices of immigration Los Angeles, to distract people from the pandemic response carried out by his administration and that immigrants help create jobs and grow our economy.
Dreamers
In June, the Supreme Court ruled against the 2017 decision by Trump to bring to an end the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program which aimed to protect immigrants widely known as “dreamers” from deportation. These are those that were brought as children into the US, remaining within the country without proper documentation. In July, a memo was issued by Trump’s administration putting a stop to DACA, thus preventing new enrollment whilst only allowing renewals that last for one year.
Biden intends on reversing Trump’s “cruel” decision thus strengthening dreamers’ protections. He has stated that he intends to make dreamers eligible to gain college federal student aid and to back legislation targeting to offer a route to citizenship for dreamers as well as the approximately 11 million immigrants, who are also without the aid of legal immigration help Los Angeles, living in the country, including those that did not enter the country as children.
Travel Ban
In January 2017, an order was signed by Trump banning the entry of immigrants from seven primarily-Muslim countries who could have been seeking legal immigration help Los Angeles. In January, further restrictions were placed upon six additional countries.
Biden promises to reverse these bans, claiming them to be an abuse of power “targeting primarily brown and Black immigrants” without a connection to law offices of immigration Los Angeles.
US-Mexico Border Wall
Trump promised to erect a border wall along the country’s southwest border and force Mexico into paying for it during his 2016 campaign, with 275 miles (443km) of the 447 miles (720km) border wall goal to be reached by the year’s end having been completed so far.
In August, Biden claimed that he would halt the construction of these walls, though he would not demolish them. He intends on setting up an immigration plan in line with any immigration lawyer in Los Angeles, which diverges pentagon funds meant for the border wall towards border enforcement such as investments in upgrading screening infrastructure present at entry ports.
