If Democrats win then legal immigration will continue to rise because they is consensus for it because the Democratic Party has shifted toward increased legal immigration. It can partner with corporate boards and Chamber of Commerce republicans that want caps raised.
Comprehensive immigration reform is needed to control illegal immigration and to speed us citizenship claims. However, the executive can control a lot on refugees, legal immigrants and tps.
Rajeev, this absolutely won’t happen. You know that. The president cannot increase legal immigration. That is a law. Congress would have to pass a law. First, there is no chance that dems will even try. Second, the republicans will just filibuster it. What would be the point.
The hard caps (I think from early 90s around 700000) are binding by law. But I don’t think we’ve reached the limit each year. There are limits the President can set from year to year as well as increasing countries that classify for protected status or refugee status. We’ve seen Biden use a more expansive definition of some of the immigrants from various countries. The H1B visas was a big deal a decade ago trying to increase them as well as keep graduate school stem foreign students here stateside.
Those are statues. The president can try to increase them be an EO. Then they are challenged in the court. Like right now. Biden’s EO is like 60 days from being overturned just like all the others before him. Don’t get me wrong I want to increase H1Bs but this will not happen
