The implementation of Trump’s immigration bill will have any impact on immigration

At present, it seems that once Trump really implements tough measures on immigration policy, the first thing to be affected is likely to be the welfare benefits for children in the United States.

According to existing laws in the United States, children born to foreigners in the United States can obtain U.S. citizenship and can apply for immigration status on behalf of their parents and siblings after they reach the age of 21. Many immigrants take advantage of this provision to first give birth in the United States, then wait for many years, and finally "bleach" their identities through their children, and then apply for reunification in the United States on behalf of other non-immediate relatives.

Currently, going to the United States to give birth is very popular among Chinese people, and has even spawned a complete industrial chain. According to relevant statistics, in the seven years from 2007 to 2014, the total number of Chinese mothers coming to the United States to give birth to their children has rapidly increased from a few hundred per year at the beginning to tens of thousands per year, doubling nearly a hundred times.

Law enforcement agencies in many cities in the United States have indeed raided confinement centers for Chinese mothers, but after all, favorable policies come first. These confinement centers are always "wildfires that never burn out, and spring breezes blow again." ”

But this situation may change after Trump takes office. Trump has said that he believes that the birthplace principle of U.S. citizens has the greatest appeal to illegal immigrants. He has said that he wants to overturn the policy that people born in the United States are Americans. If Trump really makes adjustments to the principle of place of birth after taking office, it will definitely be a huge blow to Chinese mothers who want to go to the United States to give birth.

Studying abroad is also one of the main ways for foreigners to immigrate to the United States. In order to attract talents, the United States has also opened channels for international students to apply for green cards. International students can find an employer and then apply for an H-1B visa. After obtaining the H-1B visa, they can apply for a green card.
