Biden plans to expand legal immigration.
June 2, 2021
The New York Times obtained a 46-page draft that explains the Biden administration’s plans to expand legal immigration. These measures will be reversing former President Trump’s policies. Under President Trump’s administration the average time it took to get an employer-sponsored green card doubled, the backlog of citizenship applications grew by 80 percent and the approval rate for the U-visa program went from five months period to five years. The document is divided into seven sections and it details policy proposals that would ultimately help migrants move to the United States. This includes skilled workers, trafficking victims, asylum seekers, migrants, and more.
