Other changes Biden’s team intends to make: - Scrap the public charge rules for green cards / visas. - End “travel ban” restrictions on 13 countries—most of which are African or majority Muslim. - Review Trump’s efforts to end TPS deportation protections for 300K immigrants.
The Biden team is planning to ramp up refugee admissions, which Mr. Trump slashed to 15,000 — a record low. The incoming Biden admin. plans to set a 125,000-person cap. Mr. Biden has also vowed to grant certain Venezuelans in the U.S. TPS to shield them from deportation.
I've been told that the incoming Biden admin will also direct the CDC to review the pandemic policy of expelling migrants without court hearings. Tens of thousands of migrants — including 8,800 unaccompanied children — have been expelled under the policy:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-closed-borders-migrant-children-covid-19/ …
Doris Meissner, a former head of the now-defunct Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and a @MigrationPolicy fellow, said undoing Mr. Trump's immigration agenda will not be an easy endeavor, given bureaucratic requirements, COVID-19 and the volume of changes implemented.
Lynden Melmed, the top lawyer at @USCIS during the George W. Bush presidency, said the incoming Biden administration will need to be careful not to rush its policy reversals, as they could face the same court challenges that hampered Mr. Trump's immigration agenda.
Lastly: Immigration has arguably been the issue Trump officials—including Stephen Miller—have spent the most resources on, instituting 400 changes. With his defeat, however, Mr. Trump's immigration legacy—built through executive actions—is now vulnerable.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-immigration-policy-agenda-trump-reversal-deportation-asylum/ …
Something not noted in our story: Mr. Trump's pandemic-era restrictions on immigrant visas (family and employed-based) and temporary work visas (like H-1Bs) are set to expire on December 31. If Mr. Trump extends them (seems likely), will Mr. Biden continue, alter or void them?
Camilo can you elaborate more on the TPS for Venezuelans? And... if you ever need an assistant in So Florida... here I am 
250,000 or more please.
They need to reinstate TPS for Central Americans. El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala have been devastated by Hurricane ETA.
