How the Trump team limited U.S. immigration: a rundown of a huge analysis

According to a leading immigration researcher, the administration of US President Donald Trump has radically restricted US immigration through administrative measures and orders. Ira Kurtzban, author of the 17th edition Kurzban's Immigration Law Handbook of 2650 pages, spoke about the changes made since Donald Trump took office. Writes about it Forbes.

Kurtzban advises to take his book as a reference.

“This is a reference book and should be used primarily so that a lawyer, scholar, member of Congress, or anyone simply interested in immigration issues can find answers to a specific topic related to immigration law. Immigration law inevitably intersects with constitutional law, international law, criminal law, family law, labor law, contract and tort law, and virtually every other area of ​​practice. The guide will introduce you to those areas of law that are relevant to immigration, says the lawyer. — If you are interested in learning about any area of ​​immigration law, the book covers business, family, asylum, deportation, detention, citizenship, litigation, employee rights and employer responsibilities, and other areas of immigration law. It's all there. This is a resource to start researching any area of ​​immigration law you need to learn.”

Kurtzban admitted that what struck him most when doing research for this book was the scale of the change in immigration policy.

“What surprised me most was how radical the changes in immigration law were. The transformation of immigration law is shocking, and COVID-19 has accelerated these changes through asylum law, deportation relief, restrictions on family- and work-based permanent immigration, and the treatment of non-immigrants, including students, exchange scholars, executives of multinational corporations, and others. . The book describes in great detail all the changes up to July 2020,” says Ira.

“After Trump won the election, he held meetings at Trump Tower with Kris Kobach, Stephen Miller and others who sought to transform immigration law, and some might say they even distorted it. In the early days of the Trump administration, they announced a plan to create a highly restrictive immigration policy with a narrow points system that would allow only a small number of immigrants with specific skills into the country. They carried out this plan in a way that few could have imagined, explains Kurzban. “Without any new legislation, but with a full understanding of how the immigration bureaucracy worked, they were able to radically restrict immigration through presidential proclamations and executive orders, as well as through policy manuals, websites, forms, procedures and rules. They have essentially eliminated immigration through enormous delays, and have also reoriented the scope of immigration enforcement so that it is almost exclusively the domain of law enforcement.”

“They have created a system of an outer wall that prevents people from entering the United States, a physical wall as a barrier to entry, and an “inner” wall that shuts down most legal avenues of immigration through endless investigations, interrogations, and denial of benefits. At the same time, they tried to deport a huge number of people, and today more than 1 million people are waiting for deportation proceedings,” states Kurzban.

The researcher named executive orders as the main source of changes in the US immigration system under Trump.

“Presidential proclamations and executive orders played a key role in stopping migration to the United States. Although these orders were temporary, Trump continued to extend them. For example, there is a “Muslim ban” that was supposed to last 90 days, but has been in effect for four years now. The latest presidential decree banning legal permanent immigration to the United States, which was planned for 60 days, has been extended until December 31, 2020, and if Trump is re-elected, it will obviously be extended again indefinitely, the lawyer believes. “The administration used every lever of executive power to stop immigration to the United States. It established vague reasons for rejecting qualified applicants in some cases and created rules that allowed applications to be rejected with impunity.”

"They also overturned the asylum law as we know it, refusing to process hundreds of thousands of asylum applications, reducing the number of refugee admissions to 18 with the threat of zero."

The expert shared his vision of changes in US immigration policy, which, in his opinion, would be useful for the country.

“I believe we need to have a much broader vision that is consistent with our heritage, economics and values ​​that recognize the positive aspects of immigration. The current administration is trying to demonize and denigrate immigrants when we have a long and wonderful tradition of welcoming people from different nations to our country. They made this country better economically, culturally and intellectually,” Kurzban argues. “We need an immigration system that not only works for the country economically, but also uses our best instincts as a world leader to welcome people fleeing oppression and hardship.” We have the opportunity to be that emblem of freedom and dignity so eloquently represented by the Statue of Liberty, and we must return to policies that restore our country as an example to the rest of the world."
