The government of the president Joe Biden runs immigration modifications in several ways, in order to offer more options to non-citizens, especially those who are in the country and facilitate legal processes.
A recent report by The New York Times reveals the existence of a plan of 46 pages that mark the route that the Department of Homeland Security would follow, in charge of Alejandro Mayorkas , to pave the way for vulnerable immigrants and those with high training . It is not about the immigration reform that is being discussed in Congress .
The plan is dated May 3 and is titled “DHS. Plan to Restore Confidence in Our Legal Immigration System ”, which appears to follow the Executive Order signed on February 2 by President Biden, which orders the Department of Justice, DHS to make the necessary modifications to improve the immigration system.
According to the report of Times , at least seven types of immigrants would benefit.
>> Highly skilled workers
>> Victims of trafficking
>> Families of Americans living abroad >> Refugees >> Asylum seekers
>> Farmers
Although the Biden Administration cannot change the Nationality and Immigration (INA) has the possibility of reinterpreting the norm to modify the rules, making the processes more friendly for immigrants, although following the general parameters of federal law.
In early January, seeking to explain how then-President-elect Biden could change immigration rules, attorney Nelson Castillo , who practices in California, explained that each administration can make an interpretation of federal law, toughening rules or relaxing them , but considering the legal framework.
“There are actions executives and regulations on how to implement existing laws, many of which have gone through a scrutiny process that has given notice n to the public; they integrate the comments, and then it is implemented, ”Castillo recalled.
The DHS proposal promotes rules that lead to that new route promised by the president Biden during the campaign, in order to ensure that the United States returns to its character as a “nation of opportunities and welcome.
Among the changes to the country of choice and welcome.
legal migration integrates that people who submit their application online could pay less in fees or even obtain an exemption, in a way totally contrary to the so-called public charge rule that the former president tried to impose Donald Trump and that was finally buried by Biden .
It is possible that by naming June as the National Migrant Heritage Month , President Biden announced adjustments to his policies, which were outlined in orders executive as well as the aforementioned.
“ In each generation throughout our history , wave after wave of immigrants have enriched our nation and made us better, stronger, more innovative and more prosperous “, recognizes the president in his declaration of this Monday. “American history includes the history of brave families who ventured here, centuries ago or this year, from all over the world to seek new possibilities and help shape our nation.”
