Future Policies

President Joe Biden has hoped to continue the progress that has been made in U.S. immigration policy before the Trump administration. Bidens hopes to further progress the U.S. immigration system through pushing for policies that will make the pathway to citzenship easier for immigrants. Pathways include temporary legal status for undocumented immigrants, that gives them the ability to apply for green cards after a couple of years, (Whitehouse.gov 1). Pathways to citizenship are small part of Bidens hopes for immigration policy, Biden hopes to reverse the damage done by the Trump administration and plans to create a task force designed to specifically reunite and keep separated families back together, that we effected by the Trump administrations immigration policies, (Whitehouse.gov 1). Continously, Bidens plans for modernizing the immigration continue, as president Bidens also plans to lighten enforcement on the public charge, which previously denied immigrants green cards if they were to use government aided services, (Gonzalez-Barrera, and Krogstad 1). Bidens future policies are goaled to change the citizenship status of many undocumented, and documented immigrants in the U.S. today. While improving the conditions current immigrants are experiencing from previous U.S. immigration policies.

Background

Immigration began in the U.S. to further priorities such as construction, and work that was needed to further develop the U.S. Over 86 million people have immigrated to the U.S. legally since 1783, (Baxter and Nowrasteh 1). Making immigrants a foundation to U.S. foreign policy, as well as the high amount of diversity in the U.S. today. Immigration has made up a large part of the U.S. workforce today (Americanimmigrationcouncil.org 1). As many immigrants have seeked better jobs and environment within the U.S. After immigration was encourages in the U.S., it was not until 1882 when the U.S. government began to restrict immigration into the U.S., (Hsu 1). Immigration policies have changed from president to president, although most policies have closely aligned towards Democratic and Republican party values, depending on which party the president is associated with.
