Biden’s Executive Orders on Immigration Set Stage at Future Action

U.S. President Joe Biden’s executive orders this week reversing Trump administration immigration policies change little on the ground now but set the stage for future action, experts told VOA. It is a message Biden himself reinforced when he signed three orders Tuesday. “I want to make it clear — there’s a lot of talk, with good reason, about the number of executive orders that I have signed. I’m not making new law.

Biden’s early immigration orders will review Trump policy

Biden on Tuesday will establish a task force to reunite separated families, but officials say his early executive actions on immigration remain constrained by Trump's tangle of executive orders and administrative restrictions on immigration, as well as by public health concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

White House Executive Order on Family Separation

It is the policy of this Administration to rigorously enforce our immigration laws.  Under our laws, the only legal way for an alien to enter this country is at a designated port of entry at an appropriate time.  When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code.  This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise.  It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.  It is unfortunate that Congress's failure to act and court orders have put the Administration in the position of separating alien families to effectively enforce the law.

The New Front in the War on Immigrants: Administrative Action

In reality, legislation is often difficult to pass.  Regulations are subject to all of those pesky procedural safeguards.  But maybe the administration can find an easier way to disrupt our current system and create havoc for all those foreigners who are here legally, playing by the rules of the current dysfunctional system. Bingo! It has become apparent that the administration is making great strides at concocting new and creative ways of frustrating, delaying, and denying as many applications and petitions for immigration benefits as possible.

Trump Scapegoats Immigrants with Creation of Office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement

President Trump stated that he has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American victims during his Joint Address to congress. The office is called VOICE – Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement, was created by the interior enforcement executive order that was signed in January. Any victim of crime deserves acknowledgement and sympathy, and crime is an issue that must be taken seriously. However, the emphasis on victims of immigrant crimes is problematic. It only serves to scapegoat and demonize immigrants even though the data clearly shows that immigrants, including unauthorized immigrants, are less likely than native-born Americans to commit crimes.

Immigrants Prepare for Life After Obama

Gabe Belmonte showed up to his Silicon Valley engineering job the day after the election in a state of shock. He hadn’t slept, couldn’t eat, and was struggling to ward off panic. Co-workers commented on how distraught he looked, Belmonte recalls: “Initially, I just said, ‘Yeah, the election was kind of rough.’ ”The truth is he’s one of more than 740,000 undocumented immigrants shielded from deportation and authorized to work under President Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), which Donald Trump has pledged to eliminate.

Immigration Lawyers Fear the Worst, Face Anxious Clients After Trump Victory

Phones are ringing off the hook at law offices serving immigrants with shaky status. Some of Trump’s promises, such as the border wall, would require a good deal of time and money to implement as well as possibly requiring approval from Congress. Trump’s pledge to reverse executive actions issued by Obama, on the other hand, could be authorized in late January, shortly after Trump takes office, said Stephen Yale-Loehr, a professor of immigration law at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, N.Y.

What Scalia’s Death Means For SCOTUS’ Blockbuster Immigration Case

When President Obama announced his major second term executive actions on immigration, it was almost immediately clear that it would lead to a Supreme Court showdown. But now that the case is finally at the high court, the conservative forces pushing it will be without a major ally, with Justice Scalia's unexpected death in February. All eyes at Monday's oral arguments will be on Chief Justice John Roberts to gauge how he will navigate his court through an already hyper-political case that the vacant seat further complicates.

GOP-Led House Backs Legal Challenge to Obama on Immigration

The House voted on Thursday to embrace the legal challenge to President Barack Obama's actions on immigration in an election-year fight over executive authority and the 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally that has roiled the Republican Party. Republicans who hold a commanding majority cast the issue as Obama exceeding his constitutional authority in unilaterally expanding programs for immigrants. They prevailed on a 234-186 vote that authorizes Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of United States v. Texas.
