In this second episode of a two-part series, Ron, Anu, and Drew dive deeper into the different ways the Trump administration has waged a coordinated attack on the legal immigration system. In part one (Episode 14: What is Legal Immigration?), they covered the different legal pathways for immigration, focusing on the employment-based options.
Over the last four years, the administration has set a goal of reducing legal immigration by 50%. In some ways, they have been successful and in other ways, they have been thwarted through litigation, innovative solutions, or immigration attorneys unwilling to give up. Ron, Anu, and Drew break down the different tactics and how immigration attorneys have been successful in combating the attacks.
They discuss:
- Nonimmigrant and immigrant visa bans
- Successful challenges in federal court
- How COVID has been used to further the agenda and waivers to pursue
- Consulate closures resulting in lack of appointments
- Delayed printing of critical documents like green cards and employment authorization
- Restrictions on international students and exchange visitors
- Future regulations to the H-1B program
