THE BIDEN IMMIGRATION PLAN |
The Biden Immigration Plan would restore and improve our current immigration system.
Some of these changes can be implemented within the first 100 days of the Biden Presidency, others must be passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate and signed into law by the President.
Below, we highlight and comment on 7 key parts of the Biden Immigration Plan.
The Biden Immigration Plan
Ending the Muslim Travel Ban Reforming Employment-Based Immigration Reforming Family-Based Immigration Enforcement – ICE, CBP and the Immigration Courts Restoring Protections for Asylum-Seekers and Refugees DACA, TPS and Comprehensive Immigration Reform Biden’s Plan – The Easy, The Difficult, The Impossible |
1. Ending the Muslim Travel Ban Biden has pledged to immediately end the Muslim Travel Ban. Since the ban was the result of a Presidential Proclamation, not a law passed by Congress, Biden could end the ban immediately upon taking office.
The Biden Immigration Plan states that “prohibiting Muslims from entering the country is morally wrong, and there is no intelligence or evidence that suggests it makes our nation more secure.” 2. Reforming Employment-Based Immigration Biden recognizes that temporary work visas are good for our country, but that they have been abused in some cases, particularly with regard to the H-1B program. His plan states that he “will work with Congress to reform the current system of temporary work visas to allow workers in these select industries to switch jobs, while certifying the labor market’s need for foreign workers. Employers should be able to supply data showing a lack of labor availability and the harm that would result if temporary workers were unavailable. This flexibility, coupled with strong safeguards that require employers to pay a fair calculation of the prevailing wage and ensure the right of all workers to join a union and exercise their labor rights, will help meet the needs of domestic employers, sustain higher wages for American workers and foreign workers alike.” |
