Is change on the horizon?

[quote]Biden plans sweeping reversal of Trump's immigration
agenda
...
After Mr. Biden is sworn-in in January, his administration will
move to fully restore an Obama-era program that shields 640,000
undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children
from deportation, halting Mr. Trump's unsuccessful efforts to
end it, people familiar with the plans told CBS News. The
incoming administration also intends to rescind Mr. Trump's
travel and immigration restrictions on 13 mostly African or
predominantly Muslim countries.
...
A source familiar with Mr. Biden's plans said new guidance would
be designed to curb so-called "collateral arrests," which are
apprehensions of immigrants who are not the target of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations but are
nevertheless taken into custody because they are in the country
without legal status.
...
"All that stuff was done administratively through the
[president's] executive authority, and so a new executive can
basically reject those and start from scratch," a source
familiar with the Biden team's plans told CBS News.
At the southern border, Mr. Biden has pledged to discontinue the
Trump administration's policy of requiring non-Mexican migrants
to wait in Mexico for the duration of their U.S asylum cases. It
is unclear, however, how the cases of thousands of
asylum-seekers currently waiting in northern Mexico will be
adjudicated and whether any of them will be paroled and allowed
to continue their proceedings in the U.S.
A source familiar with the Biden team's planning said the
incoming administration will withdraw from the three bilateral
agreements Mr. Trump brokered with Guatemala, El Salvador and
Honduras that allow the U.S. to send rejected asylum-seekers to
those countries and have them seek refuge there.
The incoming administration will also look at reinstating an
Obama administration initiative that allowed certain at-risk
children in Central America to request refugee or parole status
and reunite with their families in the U.S. if their parents
were authorized to be in the country, the source said. The Obama
administration created the Central American Minors program in
2014 in response to a rise in border crossings by unaccompanied
migrant children but Mr. Trump ended it in 2017.
The potential revival of the program, coupled with increased
foreign aid to Central America, would be part of a broader Biden
administration approach to address unauthorized migration from
the region — a diplomatic task Mr. Biden was charged with
overseeing during President Obama's tenure.
Mr. Biden's team is also planning to begin the process of
terminating the "public charge" rules the Trump administration
implemented to deny green cards and immigrant visas to
applicants who U.S. officials determine rely — or could rely in
the future — on government benefits like Medicaid, food stamps
and Section 8 housing vouchers. Because the 2019 rules were
instituted through the regulatory process, experts expect their
rescission to take longer than that of presidential directives.
Citing the coronavirus-induced economic downturn, Mr. Trump
invoked his executive authority this spring to limit legal
immigration and the issuance of temporary work visas — and those
restrictions have yet to be lifted.
The Trump administration has also expelled tens of thousands of
unauthorized border-crossers, including unaccompanied children,
without court hearings or asylum screenings through an order
issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
While the Trump administration has defended the policy as one
based on public health, former officials have said they were
pressured into authorizing it.
Mr. Biden has yet to say whether his administration will
continue, alter or completely scrap Mr. Trump's pandemic-era
limits on immigrant and work visas. Mr. Biden's campaign
promised that the former vice president will direct the CDC to
review the expulsions policy "to ensure that people have the
ability to submit their asylum claims while ensuring that we are
taking the appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions."
The president-elect has promised to dramatically increase
refugees admissions, moving away from the record-low 15,000
spots set by Mr. Trump and raising the cap to 125,000. Mr. Biden
has also pledged to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to
certain Venezuelan exiles in the U.S. to shield them from
deportation.
León Rodríguez, who led U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) during the Obama presidency, said a Biden
administration should prioritize reviewing Mr. Trump's efforts
to end TPS protections for approximately 300,000 immigrants from
El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Sudan, Nepal and Honduras. In
September, a federal appellate court allowed the Trump
administration to terminate the programs, but TPS beneficiaries
are not set to lose their protections until March 2021.
Jennifer Molina, a spokeswoman for the Biden campaign, said the
incoming administration will also create a task force to help
locate hundreds of migrant parents who were separated from their
children at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2017 and 2018 and remain
unreachable. "President-elect Joe Biden will restore order,
dignity and fairness to our immigration system. At its core, his
immigration policy will be driven by the need to keep families
together," Molina said in a statement.
...
Mr. Biden has vowed to introduce legislation that would allow
the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants to
legalize their status, but such an effort — which has proved
elusive for two decades — would need to be approved by a divided
Congress. Several House Democrats lost their seats last week and
while control of the Senate will hinge on the outcome of two
Georgia races in January, any potential Democratic majority
would be razor-thin.
...
Marielena Hincapié, a member of a task force of Biden and Bernie
Sanders supporters who created a unified immigration platform,
said the incoming administration should use "all the levers of
government" to protect certain undocumented immigrants,
including COVID-19 essential workers, from deportation.
"We can't at the same keep applauding all these essential
workers who we are relying on and not recognize them legally,"
Hincapié, who is also the executive director of the National
Immigration Law Center, told CBS News. "And so, providing them
with some kind of protection and work authorization so that they
can do the work without the fear of detention or deportation,
and to actually be able to work within the law, is also really
critical."[/quote]
If Biden does not keep his promises, he too is our enemy.

Biden Corrects Obama Wrongs With Immigration Reform
[quote]Joe Biden's immigration policy plans to not only undo the
wrongs of the Trump administration but Obama's as well. [/quote]
[quote]"From ending prolonged detention to a 100-day moratorium
on deportations, president-elect Joe Biden’s vision for a new
chapter in US immigration policy departs dramatically from the
border wall construction, family separations and kids in cages
that marked the Trump era.
But fixing chronically broken statutes while reversing more than
400 of Donald Trump’s immigration-related executive actions
requires time, resources and in many cases bipartisan support, a
tall order for the incoming administration."[/quote]

Is a migrant crisis unfolding off West Africa's Atlantic coast?
| Inside Story
[quote]A sea journey to Europe once shunned by many migrants for
being too dangerous is busy again. Hundreds have drowned this
year in the Atlantic Ocean off Senegal on their way to the
Canary Islands, a Spanish territory. More than 16,000 migrants
have made the journey this year, 10 times last year's total.
Hotels have been turned into reception centres. So why are
people risking their lives to take this risky route?[/quote]

[quote]A district judge has granted a preliminary injunction to
block the Trump administration’s use of a pandemic policy to
turn away thousands of unaccompanied migrant children without
due process.
Since March, the Trump administration has been using an
emergency regulation issued by the Centers for Disease Control
to expedite the removal of migrants, including unaccompanied
children, who present themselves at the U.S. border. The
regulation allowed for a suspension of ‘the introduction of
persons from designated countries or places, if required, in the
interest of public health’ amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, a federal judge on the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia, ruled against the Trump
administration’s justification of the policy that denied these
children the right to apply for asylum and resulted in their
removal without deportation proceedings. The opinion held that
the children denied their right to petition for asylum were
‘likely to suffer irreparable harm because they could be subject
to “sexual and other violence and face the possibility of
torture and death.“’
At the heart of the case is the story of an unnamed 16-year-old
Guatemalan boy from an Indigenous Mayan family who entered the
U.S. in August 2020, claiming he ‘experienced severe persecution
in Guatemala’ as a result of his father’s political opinions.
Instead of being placed in the custody of his father, who lives
in the United States and has a pending immigration case, or
being placed in the custody of the Office of Refugee
Resettlement, the boy was ordered to be expelled. The case was
filed as a class-action suit to represent others that have faced
similar situations at the border. Roughly 13,000 unaccompanied
migrant children were turned away as a result of the policy, the
ACLU says.[/quote]

[quote]Ruptly is live from Place de la Republique in Paris on
Monday, November 23, as hundreds set camp to protest the
country's refugee situation following last week's evacuation of

But how many firearms among them? Protesting is useless. Only
firearms can protect refugees.

Can Senegal send its police into Spain? If not, why should it
allow Spain to send its police into Senegal?

Syria: UN says urgent aid needed for three million displaced
[quote]The United Nations says urgent aid is needed for three
million Syrians living in refugee camps.
Winter can be harsh, so they desperately require essentials and
shelter to keep warm.
And as Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports, many more people could

[quote]On Friday, U.S. District Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis
issued an order requiring the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security to post a public notice saying it will begin accepting
DACA applications again. First-time DACA requests, renewal
requests, and advance parole requests must be accepted under the
new court order. The move will affect the approx 1.1M
undocumented minors in the U.S. who are eligible to apply for
DACA.
The Obama-era program, which launched in 2012, protects
immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children from
deportation. The Trump admin worked to end DACA for a number of
years beginning in 2017, but the Supreme Court blocked that
attempt in June 2020.[/quote]
