Joe Biden and Donald Trump on immigration policies
If you and your family are currently processing your immigration to the US, better hurry up and complete the procedures before Trump goes back to the White House in case he beats Biden in November. The odds point out that Trump will emerge the GOP's official candidate and there is no serious challenge to Biden's reelection bid among the Democrats. If Trump wins, then you may kiss your American dream goodbye.
One on one, the surveys show that in their return bout, Trump has the edge, although Biden, with the incumbent's advantages, is no pushover either. Our research backup team did a research and made a comparative matrix on the immigration perspectives of the two putative candidates respectively. It can easily be recalled that Trump expelled thousands of immigrants in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, invoking the highlycontentious Title 42 of the American immigration law, which empowers the government to expel asylum seekers for health reasons. About 400,000 people were detained and expelled.
On the other hand, Biden embraced a more humane and compassionate approach, reminding Americans that they, the politicians in the US, were all immigrants or descendants of immigrants, and that America is the land of immigrants. The only true natives are the Native Americans and the other indigenous communities. Under Biden, all US embassies in Latin America opened processing centers whereby, all who want to migrate were assisted on how to do it the legal way. Biden does not allow the separation of children from their parents. The Democrats are pro-family, pro-children, pro-immigrant. These are all opposed by the Republicans.
Under Trump, there was a harsh "zero-tolerance-policy" which ordered immigration authorities to deport parents who entered the US illegally, while holding the children under government custody, thereby causing trauma to both. Between 2017 to 2020 under Trump's presidency, no less than 3,900 children were separated from their parents. Under Biden, starting 2021, the US allowed no less than 100,000 undocumented migrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Colombia to stay with their relatives in America. The American immigration lawyer, Atty. Michael J. Garfunkel is urging Filipinos to speed up their processing before Trump gets back to the US presidency.
Trump will most probably block Filipinos' chances to enter the US. His policy is to make it almost impossible for Asians, Latin Americans, and most especially Muslims from the Middle East from going to America. On the other hand, Biden is more hospitable. His government is more lenient in immigration policies and enforcement of immigration laws. Democrats are more pro-Filipinos. Past presidents like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama even engaged Filipino professionals to work in the White House and in sensitive government agencies. Thus, it is clear who is for us and who is against us.
Millions of Filipinos in the US know in their minds and hearts which of the two parties are more sympathetic to immigrants. I made a survey among my contacts in Hawaii, California, Nevada, Chicago, New York, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. They know that Biden loves them more than Trump could ever be expected to.
