Immigration Now: Executive Orders on DACA, the Muslim Ban, and the Border Wall

Si desea leer esto en español, haga clic aquí.

During his first day in office, President Biden signed several Executive Orders that affected immigration in the US. 

DACA

The President instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, to take all actions he deems appropriate, consistent with applicable law, to preserve and fortify DACA. DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, instituted in 2012, deferred the removal of certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, have obeyed the law, and stayed in school or enlisted in the military. It allows eligible individuals who pass a background check to request temporary relief from removal and to apply for temporary work permits.

Muslim Ban

The President revoked a series of Executive Orders and Proclamations that banned the entry into the US of individuals from primarily Muslim countries and ordered the Embassies and Consulates to resume visa processing.

Border Wall

President Biden terminated  the national emergency at the southern border, which was originally declared by Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States).  The policy of the new Administration is that no more taxpayer dollars will be diverted to construct a border wall and all current construction on the wall shall be paused.

Inmigración Ahora: Órdenes Ejecutivas sobre DACA, prohibición de musulmanes, y muro fronterizo

Durante su primer día como Presidente, Joe Biden firmó varias Órdenes Ejecutivas que impactan el sistema inmigratorio de Estados Unidos. 

DACA

El Presidente le ordenó al Secretario del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional que tome toda acción que sea necesaria y consistente con leyes aplicables para preservar y fortalecer DACA. DACA, o Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia, fue instituido en el 2012 y defiere la deportación de ciertas personas que vinieron a los Estados Unidos en su infancia, han obedecido la ley, y estudiaron o sirvieron en el servicio militar. En adición, DACA les permite obtener autorización de empleo.

Prohibición de Musulmanes

El Presidente revocó una serie de Órdenes Ejecutivas y Proclamaciones que prohibían la entrada al país de personas musulmanas y ordenó que las Embajadas y Consulados resuman el procesamiento de visas.

Muro Fronterizo

El Presidente Biden terminó la emergencia nacional en la frontera sur, la cual fue originalmente declarada el 15 de febrero de 2019. La política de la nueva administración es que dinero de los contribuyentes no será usado para la construcción de un muro fronterizo y toda construcción debe terminar.
