Biden seeks to reform immigration
 |
The Trump Wall
|
Former president Trump sought to stop illegal immigration by building a wall and pursuing more aggressive deportation policies. He was criticized for this approach over the four years he was in office, and now our new president, Joe Biden, will seek to take immigration policy in the opposite direction. Joe Biden has announced that he will suspend the deportations of illegal immigrants for 100 days. A Texas judge however put a hold on Biden's deportation freeze for 14 days, so it is unclear what will come of Biden's hold on deportations, but it is certain he will keep trying to end the deportations of illegal residents. Furthermore Biden will reverse Trump's policies on refugees. Under the previous president the flow of refugees slowed down significantly. In contrast, Joe Biden has promised to admit many more refugees and to allow refugees that do not have means of financial support, which means they will they will need government financial assistance, to come to the U.S. The Trump administration tried to admit refugees and immigrants that have money or jobs to support themselves rather than people that need help. Joe Biden has also discontinued the wall between the United States and Mexico that Donald Trump started to build.

President Biden has reversed Trump's immigration immediately after taking office. However in order to enact his new policies he will need the help of congress and the senate. We will see what policies actually are put in practice in the next four years.
Question: Do you agree with President Biden's new immigration policies?
