What is American chain immigration?

As an immigrant country, the United States has recently made a series of adjustments to its immigration policy. Do you know what American chain immigrants are? If not, take a look at the relevant information with me.

President Trump reacted strongly to "chain migration" and decided to speed up the reform because Akayed Ullah, a legal permanent resident from Bangladesh, committed a suicide bomb attack on the new york subway on February 20th17th11. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that 27-year-old Ulla immigrated to the United States on a family immigrant visa in 20 1 1 year.

The immigration process of getting a green card because a brother or sister becomes an American citizen by naturalization is called "extended family chain immigration". The White House press secretary pointed out that President Trump had opposed this kind of "chain immigration" because several or more relatives of a citizen entered the United States because of their immediate family members. "The President's policy calls for an end to chain immigration. If these policies are in place, then this person can be prevented from coming to the United States. 」

In a statement, Trump accused the lax immigration system of allowing many dangerous and insufficiently vetted people to enter the United States for terrorist attacks. "Today's terrorist suspects immigrate into our country by expanding the family chain, which is incompatible with national security ... I am determined to improve our immigration system and put our country and people first. 」

From 2005 to 20 16, * *13.06 million foreigners entered the United States through legal immigration, among which 9.3 million foreigners came to the United States in the form of chain immigration, making chain immigration the biggest driving factor of American immigration-accounting for more than 70%. The President has pushed the State Council and the Department of Homeland Security to tighten and reform existing immigration laws, and is mainly responsible for introducing the term chain immigration into the national immigration debate.

Put an end to "chain immigration" and not enforce it by administrative order, otherwise it will violate the relative immigration category clause established by American immigration law 1965; Only the legislation of Congress can break the chain of relatives' migration. Trump's opposition to "chain immigration" is actually a continuation of the "merit-based" immigration reform bill "RAISE Act" proposed in early August last year. One of the important provisions of the proposal is to abolish the immigration categories and quotas for adult children, parents and siblings.

In view of the fact that Sayfullo Saipov, who launched a terrorist attack in new york on October 3, 20 171,entered the United States through the visa lottery plan, the President, Congress and Republicans all called for the abolition of this plan. Trump is determined to end linked immigration and the diversified visa program as the policy outline of 20 18.

The Minister of Justice also shouted: In less than two months, two terrorist attacks occurred in new york, both of which were caused by our failed immigration policy-diversified green card lottery and chain immigration were not in line with national interests.

Immigration reform, suppression of "asylum city", prevention of terrorism, national security and repatriation of immigrants will be Trump's political chips for re-election. Although the legislative process is long, Trump's administrative ability and strategy can not be ignored. In the past year, he fulfilled his campaign promise. Although the opinion polls show that his support rate is very low, his supporters are still firmly following him. Even Democrats have to admit that Trump has the strength to be reckoned with. He knows how to win people's hearts by putting patriotism first and the United States first, doing a good job in the economy and improving international status.
