新的移民政策為混合身份家庭打開了大門。
April 16, 2021
Last week, the Biden administration announced that it would be rolling back a Trump-era policy which denied access to public and subsidized housing to “mixed-status” families. This included households where some members are US citizens and others are undocumented immigrants. Under former President Trump’s proposal, those families faced two choices: either kicking out the undocumented family member to keep the home, or keep the family together and lose housing. Immigrant rights groups advised against this policy, stating that it would lead to mass homelessness. Around the same time as Biden rolled back the policy, New York joined several states which have expanded their budgets and social safety nets to include the undocumented.
