Joe Biden’s New Policies For Asylum, DACA And Legal Immigration
Stuart Anderson
President-elect Joe Biden faces a series of decisions on how best to change immigration policies implemented during the Trump administration. Biden’s actions will affect millions of lives.
Below is a review of significant immigration issues confronting the Biden administration on asylum, refugees and other topics. An earlier article addressed the challenges and the outlook on H-1B visas and international students.
DACA: Due to court rulings, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), protecting more than 600,000 recipients from deportation, managed to outlast the Trump administration. Based on statements made at a December 2020 hearing, it appears U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen may be inclined to stop DACA. That creates additional complications for Biden’s efforts to maintain DACA. Administration attorneys must decide whether to continue the program in its current form or adopt a different administrative (or regulatory) approach.
