Four years ago, Donald Trump ran the presidential campaign with the promise to regulate immigration to the US and, for the most part, kept his promise. Month after month, since the beginning of Trump's term, immigration policy changed rapidly, from the Zero Tolerance policy, which separated children from parents, to reach the lowest number of refugees accepted by the US each year. What did Joe Biden promise?
Joe Biden has promised to undo most - if not all - of Trump's immigration reforms. He has vowed to lift the order restricting the entry into the US of foreigners from some Muslim-majority countries and to restore protection from deportation.
One of the changes Biden has promised to make during the first 100 days of his term is the establishment of the DACA, an Obama-era executive action that Trump repealed that protects against the deportation of some 650,000 people. settled in the US illegally as a child. Biden has stated that these people are protected, including student aid.
Among other things, Joe Biden promised to lift the so-called "Muslim ban" by ending travel bans from 13 Muslim countries. He has also said that on the first day of his presidency he will appoint a task force to find the parents of 545 children who were separated from their families during Trump's Zero Tolerance policy. According to some reports, the number of children is thought to be higher.
As for the wall with Mexico, Biden has not said he will demolish it, but has said he will finish building it.
SHB dikur konsiderohej lider botëror në mbrojtjen e refugjatëve, duke ofruar zhvendosje të përhershme në më shumë njerëz në vit se çdo vend tjetër në botë së bashku, sipas Këshillit Amerikan të Emigracionit. Kjo përfundoi gjatë administratës Trump, e cila uli kufirin për numrin e refugjatëve të pranuar në SHBA çdo vit. Në tetor, Shtëpia e Bardhë njoftoi se po vendoste kufirin për vitin 2021 në 15,000 refugjatë, një minimum i të gjitha kohërave. Biden ka premtuar të rrisë kufirin e pranimit të refugjatëve në 125,000 njerëz.
