Washington, D.C. (April 27, 2021) – Immigration was not central to the 2020 presidential campaign, so many voters likely did not focus on what Joe Biden would do regarding it as president. With the 100th day of his administration approaching on Friday, the Center for Immigration Studies has sought to fill that information gap by publishing a detailed review and analysis of immigration policy actions taken since January 20.
 
The new administration acted quickly to issue executive actions to repeal Trump policies, and on a lesser scale has introduced many new policies. The consequences of policy changes during Biden's first 100 days are most obvious in the border crisis, but the report also examines the changes in interior enforcement, legal immigration, rule of law, and national security.
 
Robert Law, the Center’s Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy and author of the report, said, “The crisis at the border, which was created by Biden’s policies beginning on Day 1, has received media coverage, but the situation in the interior of the country has not been widely reported. Although there is an injunction on Biden’s 100-day deportation freeze, new ICE guidelines exempt most illegal aliens from any enforcement and mean that there have been fewer deportations even of convicted criminals. Combined, our communities are less safe.”
 
Beyond the border loosening and the deportation freeze, a variety of other policies have also contributed to the harm done to the national interest in Biden's first 100 days, including: re-opening the pipeline of cheap foreign labor; cancelling measures to promote immigrant self-sufficiency; abrogating cooperative agreements with local law enforcement; stopping a nationwide ICE operation targeting criminal alien sex offenders subject to deportation; and resuming immigration from countries whose government cannot or will not cooperate with U.S. vetting procedures, among many others.
 
Law said he expects more to come: “As the 2022 midterm elections near, the Biden administration will likely be encouraged by its supporters to take sweeping executive action instead of waiting on Congress to act, especially on DACA and a general amnesty for the illegal alien population.”
