What’s happening
In many ways, immigration was the central issue of the Trump presidency. Hardline anti-immigrant rhetoric was key to his 2016 campaign. Once in office, he made aggressive — and deeply controversial — policy changes to limit both legal and illegal immigration.
President-elect Joe Biden has put forward a wide-ranging agenda to reverse most of Trump’s immigration policies, which he called a “moral failing and a national sham.†Biden has promised to renew and expand protections for “Dreamers,†end family separation, reform the asylum system, drastically increase the number of refugees the U.S. accepts, stop construction of the border wall, suspend all deportations for more than three months, revoke the so-called Muslim ban, and send a comprehensive immigration reform bill to Congress within his first 100 days.
