More Humane Immigration Policies Might be the Solution

Humanitarian policies could also improve the situation at the borders

Immigration law enforcement at the US borders

When the US experiences a substantial increase in illegal border crossings, as it is currently the case, the country’s administrations tend to implement strict policies to reduce the flow of foreigners and curb irregular migration.

Among the American population, enforcing immigration law both at the borders and within the US often refers to rules and limitations that would increase or expedite deportation processes and reduce, usually, but not always, alternatives available to immigrant communities.

To give a specific example, the Biden administration is currently dealing with a surge of illegal border crossings and several members of Congress (both Republicans and Democrats) and opposition groups are pushing to implement strict border policies and intercept irregular immigration from Central America.

However, it does not mean that the problem is solved, since, regardless of what policies are implemented in the local territory, the roots and causes of irregular immigration go beyond any administration of the US and are related to precarious conditions in other territories, which force thousands of people to migrate.

Humanitarian policies could also improve the situation at the borders

Aside from strict policies, rules, limitations, restrictions, and how the term “immigration law enforcement” is often understood by the American public, it is also important to note that an essential part of the US law refers to human rights and the right of immigrant communities to seek international protection in the country, and that would also be following immigration law.

In fact, according to a recent Forbes report, implementing more humane, less arbitrary, and human rights-focused policies could improve the situation at the borders and prevent it from appearing like a “crisis” in the eyes of thousands of American citizens and opposition groups.

If the US adopts a more effective and just resettlement system, then immigrant communities fleeing precarious situations such as famine, violence, and war would also have the opportunity to build a promising future while still following legal guidelines established by the local government, which would reduce massive irregular immigration.

It is important to clarify that it does not mean that irregular immigration is allowed under any circumstances, but rather that, by implementing policies focused on human rights, immigrant populations could more easily follow legal processes, taking into account that each individual must meet certain eligibility requirements.
