Restricting U.S. Immigration laws could stay permanent
Restrictive U.S. immigration policies put in place during the pandemic could be permanent. The Trump administration is continuing to advance policies to restrict legal immigration, halting the flow of foreign workers and raising the bar for asylum seekers hoping for sanctuary, including making permanent some of the rules put in place as “emergency” restrictions for the coronavirus.
US Immigration fees are possibly increasing due to COVID-19, travel Restrictions between Canada and the US are to be Extended, travel restrictions between South America (Brazil) are still restricted and now president Trump is again halting green card entry to stop people from immigrating to the United States. In April, President Trump issued an executive order to temporarily suspend all applications for green cards. Also, he was expected to limit certain visas issued to immigrants seeking temporary work in the country which he later backed away from. After announcing he would be suspending guest worker programs, business groups exploded in anger at the threat of losing access to foreign labor. As of now, the Trump administration continues to push policies trying to stop legal immigration, halting the flow of foreign workers and raising the bar for asylum seekers. While Trump would some of these policies permanent, he continues to call them “emergency” restrictions for the coronavirus.
