Biden on Immigration: Weaker Borders and Less Enforcement

Immigration was largely absent from the 2020 campaign, so millions of Americans voted for Joe Biden in November without really knowing what his immigration policies would entail.

With April 30 marking President Biden's one hundredth day in office, the Center for Immigration Studies has prepared a comprehensive review of the Biden administration's immigration actions.

The Biden administration's policies are enticing parents-few of whom are actually eligible for asylum-to sell off their possessions and take out loans to pay smugglers to get them to the U.S. border.

As the border situation continues to worsen, the Biden administration is more focused on semantics than solutions-is it a "Challenge" or a "Crisis"? Border czar Roberta Jacobson resigned unexpectedly and co-border czar Vice President Kamala Harris has yet to even hold a press conference about the border crisis, much less offer up any plan to solve it.

While a federal district judge issued a nationwide injunction blocking Biden's one-hundred-day deportation freeze, the ruling does not mean anyone will get deported; that's because the acting ICE director issued new priority enforcement guidelines which exempted virtually all illegal aliens from enforcement.

On the legal immigration front, the Biden administration is pursuing policies likely to stifle the economic recovery and burden taxpayers.

The Biden administration is refusing to adhere to the welfare-use regulation issued under the Trump administration that would have ensured legal immigrants are self-sufficient.
