President Joe Biden is planning to make legal immigration easier.
According to a government draft acquired by The New York Times, titled “D.H.S. Plan to Restore Trust in Our Legal Immigration System,” the Biden administration plans to undo former President Donald Trump‘s efforts to limit immigration by making it more complex, costly and slower.
Plans described in the draft would encourage more people to move to the U.S, including refugees, victims of trafficking, asylum seekers, skilled workers, families of U.S. citizens living overseas and Canada-born Native Americans.
The document also revealed that the Biden administration is currently preparing to renew various programs in the immigration policy, including the H-1B visa program and U-visa program.
