Trump has no interest in addressing border issues or immigration reform

While this recent op-ed (opinion-editorial) article in the Los Angeles Times, focuses on President Trump and his ongoing war with the U.S. and Mexico border and its illegal immigration issues, the article points out that the Trump administration has, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), radically slowed the processing of immigration applications and immigration benefits. As AILA members and U.S. immigration lawyers, we see this radical effect sweeping through the whole of the legal immigration system. Long delays, head-scratching requests, embarrassing mistakes in issuing documentation such as I-551 “green cards”, and increasing inefficiencies are becoming the norm and not the exception.

This may lead to the perception that American has become anti-immigration and anti-immigrant. This is not the case. Certainly, there are some in the United States who are against immigration and do not want to welcome immigrants, but this is a minority and mostly only a vocal Trump base of supporters. Remember, the United States is a country of immigrants, a melting pot of people from all over the world, and it will remain so for many years to come. Its Immigration laws are set by Congress and are not controlled by whatever current administration is in power. Yes, a President has the power to influence, and in some extremely special cases, might enact an Executive Order in the name of National Security, but these situations are rare and more rarely are upheld by the courts.

President-Elect Trump’s Mass Deportation Begins to Take Hold

During the 2024 campaign,  former president and candidate Donald J. Trump promised mass deportation for millions on undocumented migrants in the United States. It appears that the campaign pledges are beginning to take hold. Last week, President-elect Trump named Thomas Homan as the “Border Tsar.” Homan, a former police officer and immigration official who previously served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration as Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director has made it clear that mass deportation will be effectively carried out. “We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected – to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats,” said Homan. Homan commented that the immediate focus will be those in the country illegally with criminal convictions or charges. “It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Parole-in-Place Program

A U.S. Federal Court Judge has struck down Parole-in-Place following an earlier decision granting the State of Texas and fifteen (15) other states an administrative stay two months ago. Judge J. Campbell Barker of the Eastern District of Texas ruled that the program, which would fast-track permanent residency to certain undocumented immigrants to obtain lawful permanent residents who are spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens, “exceeded its statutory authority and is not in accordance with the law.”  Judge Barker further added that the program “focuses on the wrong thing, in identifying ‘significant public benefits’- the benefits of aliens’ new legal status – rather than their presence in the country.”  At the time of publishing this article, it is unclear whether the Biden Administration will appeal Judge Barker’s ruling.  For more information on this ruling, please contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com.
