Biden’s Plan to Improve the Political Asylum Process
Vulnerable immigrant communities have new opportunities under Biden
Former President Donald Trump’s political identity is strongly linked to the immigration sector, but in a rather restrictive way. In the view of Trump and his team, immigration in general, both legal and illegal, can be extremely detrimental to the American population and the economy, a premise that was rarely supported by reliable sources.
One of the previous administration’s main goals was to build a merit-based immigration system. In other words, former President Trump wanted to attract only highly qualified foreign nationals and limit humanitarian programs, family-based immigration and other programs available to all kinds of foreign populations.
These ideals led the Trump administration to implement a series of restrictions, rules and limitations that substantially narrowed the alternatives available to the most vulnerable immigrant communities such as asylum seekers and refugees. Adding to that, by significantly increasing eligibility requirements in most immigration processes, waiting times also increased, creating more bureaucratic hurdles for these communities.
Therefore, now that Democratic President Joe Biden is leading the White House, asylum seekers and refugees see a door of hope and expect his administration to offer them better conditions to apply for international protection in the US, also considering that, over time, they usually become essential workers in all kinds of sectors of the local market.

Biden unveils plan to streamline the political asylum process
The political identity of the current president of the US is also strongly related to the immigration sector, but in a more welcoming and modern way. It is important to clarify that one of the Biden administration’s priorities is to improve and optimize asylum application processing.
In fact, on Tuesday, July 27, the Biden administration released a 21-point immigration plan, which outlines a series of strategies to improve the immigration system in general, but also includes a section specifically for the political asylum process.
According to Biden’s plan, asylum case processing must change across the country in order to have an orderly, humane and just immigration system. To achieve this goal, the Biden administration proposes three main strategies:
- Assign an immigration court docket that includes only political asylum cases.
- Expedite and streamline the processing of asylum applications in order to reduce the large backlog of immigration cases across the US.
- Continue to improve the immigration system in general by lifting restrictions implemented by the Trump administration.
