Green cards and potential eventual citizenship to migrants
Biden repealed former President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Iran and 12 other nations within hours of taking office on January 20. He said the visa restrictions on citizens of those nations, seven of them predominantly Muslim states in the Middle East and Africa, were inconsistent with a U.S. tradition of welcoming people of all faiths and undermined national security.
President Joe Biden reversed former President Donald Trump’s ban on legal immigration and reopened the US to people seeking green cards. He also signed three executive orders about immigration. The orders individually seek to reunite immigrant families separated at the border, investigate humanitarian issues at the US’ southern border and review the previous administration’s immigration policies for groups like undocumented essential workers, Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status recipients.
The House signed off on the American Dream and Promise Act of 2021, or HR 6, which looks to provide green cards and potential eventual citizenship to migrants who entered the US as minors. In addition, the House pushed HR 1603, which would provide legal status for migrant farm workers.
The two House bills tie into Biden’s overhaul of US immigration policies — which lawmakers have approached in a piecemeal fashion — as opposed to the hefty US Citizenship Act of 2021. The massive proposal was introduced in Congress and details an eight-year path to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented immigrants if it becomes law, as well as preserving and fortifying the DACA program.
