CHICAGO, Dec. 3,2020 (AP): More than twodozen migrant workersfrom Texas allege theywere sprayed with toxicpesticides while workingin Illinois cornfields, ac-cording to a federal law-suit.
The workers, includ-ing teenagers, senior citi-zens, and a pregnantwoman, claim they weresprayed by a helicopterand plane treating fieldsin July and August 2019,despite wearing neon or-ange hats and backpacks.The 27 workers’ symp-toms, according to thelawsuit filed Wednesdayin Springfield, includedshortness of breath,blurred vision, eye irrita-tion, vomiting and dizzi-ness. Some said their sys-tems have persisted.
“No farmworkershould be exposed topoisonous chemicals
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 2,2020 (AP): A court-ap-pointed committee hasyet to find the parents of628 children separated atthe border early in theTrump administration,according to a court fil-ing Wednesday that alsosaid the government lastweek provided additionalphone numbers to aid thelong-running search.
Parents of 333 childrenare believed to be in theUnited States, while par-ents of the other 295 arebelieved to be outside theU.S.
That doesn’t necessar-ily mean the parents andchildren are still sepa-rated, only that the com-mittee has been unable tolocate the parents. Thecommittee has foundother family members for168 of the 628 childrenwhose parents have yetto be located.
The joint filing by at-torneys for the JusticeDepartment and familiesoffers the latest snapshotof efforts to reunite fami-lies under a “zero toler-ance” policy on illegal
when doing their job, letalone multiple times in twoweeks,” Lisa Palumbo, thedirector of Legal AidChicago’s Immigrants andWorkers’ Rights project,said in a statement. “Mi-grant farmworkers aresome of our most vulner-able workers, who growand harvest the food weeat. Their employer is ob-ligated to ensure they aresafe from pesticide expo-sure, and that they are prop-erly cared for and providedtruthful information if ex-posure occurs. This did nothappen here.”
Legal Aid Chicago andTexas RioGrande LegalAid were among the orga-nizations representing theseasonal workers.
The workers werebrought to Illinois fromcities in South Texas’ RioGrande Valley includingWeslaco and Mercedes.Their main job, paying
border crossings that re-sulted in thousands ofseparations when parentswere criminally pros-ecuted.
On Nov. 25, the ad-ministration provided thesearch committee withphone numbers and otherinformation from a data-base of the JusticeDepartment’s ExecutiveOffice for ImmigrationReview, which managesimmigration courts, thefiling said.
Lee Gelernt, an attor-ney representing parentsfor the American CivilLiberties Union, said hehad been pressing theadministration for anyadditional informationfor the last year.
“We just received thisnew information the daybefore Thanksgiving andonly because the globaloutcry over the fact thatthese parents had notbeen found,” he said inan interview.
The search committeesaid it is too early to knowhow useful the additionalphone numbers will bein finding more parents.
More than 2,700 chil-dren were separated fromtheir parents in June 2018when U.S. District JudgeDana Sabraw in San Di-ego ordered an end tothe practice under the“zero-tolerance” policy.He ordered them re-united within 30 days.
The 628 childrenwhose parents are stillnot accounted for wereseparated before thejudge’s order, goingback to July 1, 2017, andwere all released fromfederal custody beforethe June 2018 order.Children from that pe-riod are difficult to findbecause the governmenthad inadequate trackingsystems. They includehundreds separated dur-ing a trial run of the policyin El Paso, Texas, fromJuly to November 2017that was not publicly dis-closed at the time.
President-elect JoeBiden seized on the issueduring the final weeks ofhis campaign, promisinga task force to help lo-cate parents.
The ACLU wants
$9.25 an hour, was re-moving tassels from corn,according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges thecompany that employedthe workers, Iowa-basedPioneer Hi-Bred Inter-national Inc., its parentD e l a w a r e - b a s e dCorteva, Inc., and a cropspraying operation incentral Illinois did notadequately protect work-ers, provide proper medi-cal attention or coverhospital bills.
The workers are seek-ing unspecific damages.
Messages left Thurs-day for Pioneer andCorteva weren’t imme-diately returned. Twoother Illinois compa-nies named in the law-suit, Farm Air Inc. andCurless Flying Service,both based in Astoria,did not immediately re-turn messages leftThursday.

Biden to allow separatedfamilies to return to theUnited States to be given“some kind of legal sta-tus,” Gelernt said.
“We think that’s onlyfair given what they’vebeen put through,“Gelernt said. “We willfind the families but we
cannot provide the fami-lies with the right to re-turn to the United Statesand give legal status.Only the administrationcan do that.”
Volunteers havesearched for parents byphone and by goingdoor-to-door in Central
America, an effort thatwas interrupted by thecoronavirus pandemic.The committee estab-lished toll-free numbersin the U.S., Mexico, Gua-temala, Honduras, andEl Salvador and mailedletters to 1,600 potentialfamilies.

Las nuevas medidasregirán del 7 de diciembreal 7 de enero, en lo másalto de la temporadanavideña y de turismo. Lasplayas permaneceráncerradas salvo para hacerejercicio.
“Tenemos que haceruna pausa para salvar anuestros viejosprincipalmente”, dijoVázquez después de leerlos nombres y las edadesde los muertos el jueves.
La mandataria advirtióque si los casos y lasmuertes siguenaumentando, aplicará unacuarentena total, pero dijoque no aprobaba otrasrecomendaciones deexpertos independientes,como la apertura de lasplayas con ciertosrequisitos y el cierre decomercios para que solovendan online.
La isla de 3,2 millonesde habitantes tiene más de52.000 casos

la posibilidad de que unapersona sea hallada cul-pable por un juradodividido. En la actualidadlos jurados de todos losestados deben serunánimes para llegar a unfallo de culpabilidad.
Pero la decisióntomada el año pasado porla Corte Supremaabarcaba sólo a casosfuturos o casos queestaban bajo apelación enese momento. Losmagistrados ahoraestudian si la decisiónpuede ser retroactiva, loque beneficiaría a todapersona declarada cul-pable por juradosdivididos y cuyos casossiguen pendientes.
Algunos de los
magistrados hanseñalado que, en elpasado, tenían quecumplirse ciertascondiciones sumamenteestrictas para que unadecisión pueda tornarseretroactiva, aunquetambién dejaron entreverque este caso podríacumplir esos requisitos.
“¿Por qué no es básicala unanimidad?”,preguntó el juez StephenBreyer en la sesión,realizada vía telefónicadebido a la pandemia decoronavirus.
“¿Cómo puede serque una norma semejanteno tenga efectoretroactivo?”, preguntóla magistrada ElenaKagan.
febrero serán mesesdifíciles, probablementeserán los meses másdifíciles en la historia dela salud pública de estanación”, expresó elmiércoles el doctor Rob-ert Redfield, director delos Centros para el Con-trol y la Prevención deEnfermedades (CDCpor sus siglas en inglés).
Las autoridadessanitarias ya habíanadvertido que las cifraspodrían fluctuaralrededor del feriado,como suele ocurrirtambién tras los fines desemana, ya que tarda untiempo reportar loscasos. Por elloinicialmente losnúmeros parecendisminuir, pero cuandolas agencias de saludterminan de registrar loscasos, vuelven aaumentar.
Aun así, los casos, losdecesos y lashospitalizaciones hanestado en aumentoprácticamente constantedesde hace variassemanas, a tal punto quevan rompiendo récordsun día tras otro.

Lawmakers face death threats over GOPconspiracies
Dec. 7, 2020: A fewmonths after the FBIfoiled a plot to kidnapGov. Gretchen Whitmer,right-wing extremists arestill threatening Michiganelected officials. On Sun-day, armed protestersshowed up outside Sec-retary of State JocelynBenson’s house, whereshe lives with her hus-band and 4-year-old son,to harass her about base-less conspiracy theories.
State Rep. CynthiaJohnson, who sits on theHouse Oversight Com-mittee, has receivedthreatening messagesand voicemails, includ-ing some that use racialslurs and even say sheshould be lynched, inresponse to her question-ing of witnesses duringlast week’s meeting fea-turing Trump lawyerRudy Giuliani. Other law-makers have also re-
Governor Gretchen Whitmer
ported receivingthreats of violence.
“To JocelynBenson, CynthiaJohnson, and all theother lawmakersfacing threats andharassment just fortrying to do yourjob, we want to ex-tend our supportand thanks forstanding up for our de-mocracy. No one shouldface threats of violence,racism or harassment likethis,” said Lonnie Scott,Executive Director ofProgress Michigan.
“From the plot to kid-nap Gov. Whitmer earlierthis year to these currentthreats of violence overbaseless election conspira-cies, it’s become increas-ingly clear just how dan-gerous disinformation is.Republicans’ decision toamplify false claims aboutour elections isn’t just un-
democratic—they’re alsoputting people’s lives indanger.
“At this point, con-demning threats of vio-lence isn’t enough. It’stime for Republican lead-ers to recognize the im-pact of their words andactions and stop giving aplatform to conspiracytheorists, to finally banguns at the Capitol andmake clear that bullyingand threats of violencenot be tolerated. Oppos-ing lies should not be alife or death issue.”

LOS ÉBANOS, Texas,3 XII 20 (AP): El gobiernoestadounidense ha estadotratando de quedarse conlas tierras de Pamela Rivaspara construir allí unmuro fronterizo desdeantes de que Joe Bidenfuese vicepresidente.
Desde un peñasco,Rivas puede ver elterritorio mexicano, delotro lado del río Bravo(Grande para losestadounidenses). Pasósu infancia pescando enel río. El gobierno quierepartir en dos su propiedadcon un cerco de aceroque cerraría su acceso alrío y propone pagar solopor la faja de terrenodonde erigiría el muro.Mientras tanto, la tierraestá siendo vigiladaconstantemente poragentes de la PatrullaFronteriza que la cruzansin su consentimiento.
“Llevamos 12 añospeleando en lostribunales”, dice Rivas.“Es devastador. Esta es laherencia de mi familia”.
Biden prometió ponerfin a la construcción deun muro en la fronteracon México. Pero cuandoasuma en enero, tendráque tomar muchasdecisiones difíciles envista de que el gobiernosaliente de Donald Trumpha estado acelerando lasobras en sus últimassemanas. Por otro lado,lo acompaña un ciertoescepticismo relacionadocon sus políticas delpasado hacia los murosfronterizos.
Como senador, Bidenvotó a favor de apropiarsede tierras privadas en el2006. Y fuevicepresidente de ungobierno de BarackObama que siguióconstruyendo cercos ydemandando apropietarios de tierras enla frontera. Bajo la ley del2006 se construyeron1.050 kilómetros (650millas) de barreras hastael 2011.
En el Río Grande Val-ley del sur de Texas,donde Rivas y variasdecenas de propietariosde tierras resisten laconstrucción de muros,Obama construyó másbarreras que Trump.
“Ahora somos un pocomenos inocentes que laúltima vez”, dijo RickyGarza, abogado deProyecto de DerechosCiviles de Texas (TexasCivil Rights Project), unaorganización sin fines delucro que representa aRivas y otros propietarios.
Biden heredará unenorme plan deconstrucción de murosque se vio acelerada en elúltimo año. Se estándespejando espacios afuerza de explosiones ydestruyendo cactus yotros aspectos del hábitatde Arizona y Nuevo
México. Casi toda laconstrucción adelantadabajo el gobierno deTrump se ha hecho enreservas de vida silvestrey en territorios indígenasque ya pertenecían alestado. Si bien las obrasson consideraras“reemplazos” de otras yaexistentes, se estáneliminando barreras paravehículos y en su lugarse instalan enormespostes de acero y lucesmucho más restrictivas.
El gobierno de Trumpdice que completó 644kilómetros (400 millas)y que hacia fin de añohabrá terminado otros725 kilómetros (450millas). Hay más de dosdocenas de proyectos enmarcha y contratosfirmados con al menoscinco empresasconstructoras, por valorde 7.000 millones dedólares, según cifras delgobierno,
El Cuerpo deIngenieros del Ejército,que supervisa las obrasfinanciadas con fondosde los militares a los queTrump tuvo accesomediante unadeclaración deemergencia nacional,“no especulará sobre lasmedidas que el gobiernopueda tomar o no” y“espera que loscontratistas sigan lasobras según los términosde sus contratos”, declaróel portavoz GeorgeJozens en noviembre.
Después de laselecciones elDepartamento de Justiciasiguió demandando apropietarios de tierras enTexas. Enfrenta losmismos obstáculos conque tropezaron otrosgobiernos a la hora dedecidir a quiéndemandar. Algunos delos terrenos donde deseaconstruir muros tienendecenas de potencialesherederos dispersos porel país.
El trabajo ha sidocomplicado y en unaocasión una jueza fed-eral acusó al gobierno dehacerle “desperdiciar losrecursos del juzgado”.
“No se toman eltrabajo de averiguar sialguien falleció”, dijo lajueza Micaela Álvarez,nombrada por elexpresidente George W.Bush hijo. “Hay casos enlos que se menciona aalguien y uno o dosmeses después, regresany te dicen que esa per-sona murió hacía dos, treso cuatro años”.
La semana después delas elecciones, el estadodemandó a Minnie G.Sáenz, una viuda de 78años que estaba con suhijo cuando se enteró dela demanda a través de laAssociated Press.
“Están apurados, perono apurados para pagar,
sino para construir”,comentó el hijo, LeonelSáenz Jr.
A Biden le costaráfrenar obras en marcha.
En agosto prometióque no construiría “ni unpie” más de muros en lafrontera y que “retiraríalas demandas” que hayen curso. Una portavozdel equipo de transiciónde Biden, JenniferMolina dijo en uncomunicado emitido estasemana que el presidenteelecto dejaría sin efectola declaración deemergencia nacional deTrump e “invertiría ensoluciones reales” en lafrontera. Cosas comotecnología y una mejorinfraestructura en lospuertos de entrada.
Molina no dijo cómoharía Biden para frenarla construcción de muros.
De paralizar las obrasen marcha, se dejarían elacero y el cemento yaadquirido en esos sitios.Pero si permite que sigan,podría exponerse a quelo acusen de no cumplirsus promesas.
Los contratistas, por suparte, podrían exigircompensaciones, deacuerdo con el serviciode Protección deAduanas y Fronteras. Noestá claro cuántocostarían esos pasos puesel gobierno no dio aconocer los contratos.
La retórica de Trumpen torno a la construccióndel muro, acompañada amenudo por críticas a losinmigrantes, complicó elconsenso bipartidista quehubo alguna vez enrelación con la seguridaden la frontera. Obama yBush hijo construyeronmuros y añadieronagentes a la PatrullaFronteriza, lo mismo quetorres de vigilancia, diri-gibles y helicópteros.También añadieronnueva tecnología devigilancia.
“Si lo analizas enconjunto, esto es muchomás sensato”, dijoKerlikowske.
Algunos residentes yactivistas dicen que lasuspensión de laconstrucción del murodebería ser parte de unrepudio amplio de lo quedescriben como la“militarización” de lafrontera. Afirman que elgobierno debería usar eldinero para mejorar lasalud pública y lai n f r a e s t r u c t u r a ,especialmente a la luz delos estragos que estácausando el coronavirusen las comunidadesfronterizas.
“Hay que abandonarla idea de que debemossellar de algún modo lafrontera”, declaró Garza,del Proyecto de DerechosCiviles de Texas.

PHOENIX, Nov. 28,2020 (AP): President-elect Joe Biden’s cam-paign credits its successin Arizona to the immi-grant-rights andgrassroots organizationsthat have been mobiliz-ing Latinos for nearlytwo decades. The fruitsof their labor—in triple-digit heat, no less—paidoff in this traditionallyconservative state,where changing demo-graphics and suburbanvoters turning out to op-pose Donald Trump alsoworked in Biden’s fa-vor.
But what that meansfor the future of Demo-cratic candidates andhow the party can capi-talize on these gains willbe tested in 2022 and2024—especially be-cause there wasn’t a blueshift in statewide racesor in some other parts ofthe country with largeLatino populations.
“It was extremely im-portant and extremelyhelpful to the campaignto be able to tap into thatenthusiasm, to be ableto tap into that incred-ible network. I think itmade all the differenceinto turning Arizonablue,” said JessicaMejia, Arizona directorfor Biden’s campaign.
A coalition oflongstanding grassrootsorganizations known asMi AZ started knockingon doors in July, even-tually hitting 1.1 millionhomes, even in the hot-test summer on recordin Phoenix. They madenearly 8 million phonecalls and managed digi-tal and broadcast cam-paigns.
Their work is nothing
new. In 2016, groups in-volved with Mi AZhelped get a minimumwage increase passed andthen-Sheriff Joe Arpaio,who had long targetedimmigrants, voted out ofoffice.
Driven by years ofanti-immigrant proposi-tions and legislation—from banning bilingualeducation 20 years ago,forcing college studentswithout legal status to payout-of-state tuition in2006 to SB 1070, the in-famous “show me yourpapers” law from2010—these groupshave built a network ofactivists and voters whoturned out in huge num-bers.
Latinos also now ac-count for 24% of eligiblevoters in Arizona, com-pared with 19% in 2012,according to Pew Re-search Center.
Biden’s victory andthat of Mark Kelly, whounseated RepublicanSen. Martha McSally, arenotable gains for Demo-crats. Biden is only thesecond Democraticpresidential candidate towin Arizona since 1948.Kelly’s win gives thestate two Democraticsenators for the first timein nearly 70 years.
But a slew of Demo-crats who ran for the stateLegislature and statewideraces failed to gainenough traction. Bidenalso owes his victory tochanging suburban de-mographics, with Re-publican areas shiftingDemocratic, and to Na-tive Americans.
In parts of the countrywhere Democrats havelong reigned, moreLatinos voted for Trump
this year than expected,including areas ofFlorida and Texas. Al-though Latinos likelyhelped propel Biden tothe presidency, it was alesson in the limits of theparty’s grip on an in-creasingly diverse seg-ment of voters.
And how or whetherDemocrats can keep thatenthusiasm in the 2022midterm elections willrequire a lot of work.
Chuck Rocha, a seniorDemocratic strategist,said the work bygrassroots groups in Ari-zona helped Biden win.But it’s also incumbenton campaigns to priori-tize Latino voters byspending time and moneyin their communities con-sistently, not just rightbefore an election.
Super PACs that targetLatino voters are also cru-cial, Rocha said, addingthat his, Nuestro PAC,spent $4 million in ads inArizona starting the lastweek of June, but thatsuch spending is rare.
“I think Arizona is anexample of the way to dothings right, and it’s morethan just the grassrootsgroups,” Rocha said.
He said Democratswill have to deploy simi-lar tactics in other His-panic-heavy areas of thecountry if they want tosucceed in 2022, espe-cially after losing severalcongressional seats in ar-eas with a significant per-centage of voters ofcolor.
“If you’re relying on abunch of white consult-ants to Google-Translateyou an ad and put it onUnivision, that’s not awinning strategy,” Rochasaid.
Antonio Arellano ,interim executive di-rector for Jolt, a Texasadvocacy group thataims to grow Latinos’political power andmobilize young voters,said both parties needto invest more in theiroutreach efforts ifthey’re going to win anincreasingly large anddiverse constituency.
They have to hirepeople who come fromand reflect their com-munities and stop treat-ing them as a safe bet,Arellano said.
“The parties knowwhat they need to do,they’re just not doingit. They have outdatedstrategies,” he said.“The Latino electorateis incredibly young. Inorder to connect withthem, they need to mod-ernize civic engage-ment, and that requiresan investment... Whatwe’ve seen is thatLatinos are an after-thought.”
The Biden adminis-tration will keep sup-porters by focusing notjust on immigration re-form and reinstating theObama-era program
that shields from depor-tation immigrants whowere brought to the U.S.as children [DACA], butby tackling thecoronavirus crisis and itseconomic fallout, saidJulie Rodríguez, Biden’sdeputy campaign man-ager who was recentlynamed director of theWhite House Office ofIntergovernmental Af-fairs.
“I think folks are gonnasee a material differencebetween how we’re pri-oritizing communitiesand small businesses andaddressing the day-to-day issues, whether it’sextending benefits or con-tinuing to provide rentsupport,“ Rodríguez said.“And that’s somethingthis administration hasn’tdone.”
To sway Latino vot-ers, she said Democratsneed to take the tacticsused in Arizona to otherstates.
But the party will facestiff competition. Repub-licans attracted Latinos inparts of south Texas, andthey will try to replicatethat success elsewhere.
T.J. Shope, a longtimeRepublican state law-
maker newly elected tothe Arizona Senate, saidhis party will look to itssuccess in Texas for themidterm elections.Shope, who is Hispanic,says the Trump campaignhad a significant Latinovoter outreach effort,making inroads for theparty in the future.
Shope, 35, says Re-publicans need to recruitmore candidates who re-flect their communities.He says it’s contingenton his party to ensureArizona doesn’t turn intoa reliably blue state.
“This is serious. Wewant to be competitive,we don’t want to be Colo-rado,” Shope said.
In Arizona, Democratspresented Trump as theboogeyman, getting vot-ers to show up, while insouth Florida, Republi-cans used socialism todrive voters to Trump,Shope said.
Trump won’t be on theballot in 2022, when thereigning party usuallyloses seats.
“I guess the questionI’m asking myself is, whodoes the boogeyman be-come for both parties?”Shope said.

W A S H I N G T O N ,DC, Nov. 11, 2020 (AP):Some dramatic moveson immigration are ex-pected in the early daysof the Biden adminis-tration. Joe Biden willlikely use executive or-ders to reverse some ofDonald Trump’s mostcontroversial actions,rolling back moves thatwere a central feature ofhis administration andimportant to his base.
The Biden adminis-tration plans to restoreprotection for peoplebrought to the U.S. with-out documentation asminors and stop usingPentagon funds to builda border wall. Biden un-veiled a detailed, highlyambitious plan on im-migration, but it willtake time to undo manyactions taken by Trump.
The incoming presi-dent will also likely facea divided Congress,making it difficult toenact any kind ofsweeping, comprehen-sive changes to thenation’s immigrationsystem.
Here’s a look at whatto expect:
A CHANGE OFTONE: Restricting im-migration was a signa-ture issue for Trump,who infamously calledMexicans rapists as hepledged to build a bor-der wall in launching hiscampaign. His adminis-tration banned travelersfrom some predomi-nantly Muslim countriesas one of its first acts,took many steps to limitlegal immigration andcut the number of refu-gees allowed in thecountry by 80%.
Biden has said “im-migration is central towho we are as a nation,”noting that most US-Americans can tracetheir ancestry to immi-grants, but it isn’t a coreissue. It’s not even men-tioned on his transitionwebsite’s top priorities:COVID-19, economicrecovery, racial justice,and climate change.
Biden named CeciliaMuñoz, PresidentBarack Obama’s top im-migration adviser, to histransition team, whichsome interpreted as sig-naling a more moderatetack.
___BIG, EARLY
MOVES: Biden hassaid he will movequickly to undo someof Trump’s signatureimmigration initiatives.The border wall? Theroughly 400 miles (644kilometers) built so far
won’t come down but thenew administration won’tkeep building it or takingmoney from the Pentagonto fund it over the objec-tions of Congress.
The incoming adminis-tration plans to reinstate theDeferred Action for Child-hood Arrivals [DACA] pro-gram, which currentlyshields from deportationabout 650,000 people whocame to the country whenthey were young. He plansto overturn the travel banon people visiting theUnited States from 13 coun-tries, many of them Mus-lim-majority.
One of Trump’s firstmoves in office was to tellimmigration officials thateveryone in the countrywithout documentationwas subject to deportation.Biden is expected to returnto criteria similar to whatBarack Obama adopted to-ward the end of his tenure,largely limiting deporta-tions to people with seriouscriminal records in theUnited States.
Biden said he wants thegovernment to help findparents of hundreds of chil-dren who were separatedfrom their parents at theborder early in the Trumpadministration.
Biden wants to get rid ofpolicies that have been “det-rimental” to seeking asy-lum—such as the policy tomake asylum-seekers waitin Mexico for hearings inU.S. immigration court—but he is expected to movecautiously to avoid trigger-ing more arrivals.
Rep. Veronica Escobar,a Texas Democrat who wasa Biden appointee to thejoint immigration task forcewith Bernie Sanders, said aresolution will require co-ordination with Mexico.
“This is a moment that’sgoing to require true lead-ership,” she said.
___WHY SOME
CHANGES WILLTAKE TIME: Nearly ev-ery major policy changeunder Trump is in courtand may take effort to dis-entangle, including consid-erations of protecting ex-ecutive power. Other re-versals would be subject toformal rule-making proce-dures that require time.
Stephen Yale-Loehr, aprofessor of immigrationlaw practice at Cornell LawSchool, thinks Biden willmove cautiously on asy-lum to avoid setting off anew wave of arrivals andsays other changes will face“procedural and practicalproblems.”
Take the “public charge”rule, which disqualifiesmore people from greencards if they rely on gov-ernment benefits. Biden
wants it reversed butwould need to gothrough the extensive,rule-making exercise.A federal appeals courtsided with Trump onending humanitarianprotections that have al-lowed hundreds ofthousands of peoplefrom El Salvador,Nicaragua, Haiti, andSudan to remain in theUnited States. Bidensays only that he wouldorder an “immediatereview” of “TemporaryProtected Status.”
Yale-Loehr, a strongcritic of Trump’s poli-cies, says it is “going totake four years to undoall the damage that theTrump administrationhas done” while Bidenattends to the pandemicand other issues.
___WHAT COULD
STAY THE SAME: Atleast initially, Bidenmay keep in place aTrump administrationorder that authorizesCustoms and BorderProtection to quicklyexpel any migrant as apublic health measureduring the COVID-19pandemic.
Even though criticsquestion the health jus-tification for the order,the new administrationmay decide it’s neces-sary to avoid a rush ofmigrants and to protectBorder Patrol agentsand other CBP employ-ees, says DorisMeissner, a former se-nior U.S. immigrationofficial now with theMigration Policy Insti-tute.
“This health circum-stance is not likely tojust disappear comeJanuary or February,”she says.
___PROSPECTS FOR
MAJOR IMMIGRA-TION OVERHAUL:Biden says he will“commit significantpolitical capital to fi-nally deliver legislativeimmigration reform,“which would be neces-sary to fix problemswith the US-Americanimmigration systemand resolve the fate ofmillions of undocu-mented people livingin the U.S. That’s a longshot, at best, with thedivided Congress.Former presidentGeorge W. Bush calledfor a big immigrationbill, to no avail. BarackObama pushed for oneas well, and it died inthe House.
