Washington, D.C. (March 15, 2021) – A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies examines seven notable executive actions focusing on immigration issued by President Biden during his first month in office. Some of the immigration executive actions revoked Trump administration immigration policies and introduced sweeping new policies, while others were more messaging documents with little-to-no practical impact.
Robert Law, the Center’s Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy, said, “Thus far, President Biden has relied on executive orders to shape his immigration policy. The scope of his executive actions is alarming, as he dismantles the legal immigration system and refuses to enforce the law against illegal aliens. I expect he will continue to rely on executive orders and bypass Congress more in the future.”  
This Backgrounder summarizes Biden's immigration-related executive actions and analyzes their effect compared to Trump administration policies.
