The immigration department stagnated after Donald Trump became president of the United States. And on the occasion of this year's presidential election, the length of this department has increased. Someone is usually called in for an interview within three months of seeking asylum in the United States. But now it has rolled over for more than a year. Slowness has been observed even in the granting of citizenship. There is also uncertainty about whether this problem will be solved after the election. But many are hoping the Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, wins.
Akhter Hossain, who lives in the Jamaica area of New York, applied for political asylum about four and a half years ago. He said the immigration department sent a letter two years ago acknowledging receipt of his application. But so far they have not called for an interview. The thought of being stuck here like this on a travel visa seems 'wrong' now.
In this way many people have been hanging around for years. And the condition of those who have come illegally is even more deplorable. Corona epidemic on the one hand, election damadol on the other. Among them, immigrants in the United States are in deep fear and anxiety. This situation is not only of Bangladeshis, but of all those who are expecting immigration.
Manhattan lawyer Steven John said if Democrat candidate Joe Biden wins the election, many aspects of current immigration policy could change. Such as: many humanitarian fields- asylum, refugee crisis will be resolved quickly. Those that are now virtually closed will be turned on. Immigration issues will be easier. The biggest thing is that confidence will return among the people.
He added that if Biden wins, the number of judges in the immigration department will increase. As a result, the decision will come quickly. But if Trump wins again, the status quo will remain. Or it could be a little worse. That being said, merit-based immigration will be introduced. But the merit-based system is already in place here. This EB category is based on merit. But even if Trump wins, there is no prospect of a major change in the immigration system. Chain immigration or those who come to this country as a family will not be stopped. Because immigrants have a big contribution in the economy of this country.
Earlier, President Barack Obama approved a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA). Which is called the Dream Act. The order signed on June 15, 2012, gives a kind of legitimacy to the stay of those who came to the country illegally through the hands of their parents as children but have virtually no documents. It has to be renewed every two years. This allows an applicant to stay and work in the United States. However, he will not be involved in any crime. About 6 lakh people from different countries including Bangladesh are registered under this program.
Samar Pal, a supporter of the Republican Party, said that many people forget that they came to this country because of the Republicans. The 1986 amnesty was given by the Republicans. Many have come to this country through OP One and DV lottery, that too has been given by the Republicans. President Trump is in favor of expelling criminals from the country. He wants to secure the country with walls at the border. Nothing more.
These Republican supporters allege that President Obama deported or deported more illegals from the United States than the current president.
