Trump Administration Set to Add Another Burden on Immigrants

[Amica Nostra 4,803]

 

The Trump administration is poised to make it harder for members of Congress to help immigrants deal with the government, according to an agency official email sent to Hill staffers and reviewed by The Daily Beast.

The email, sent Dec. 18 from a top official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), says the agency will put new restrictions on how members of Congress can help immigrants looking to get green cards or citizenship. It indicates that the agency will soon be demanding extra forms in many circumstances, as well as requiring certified translations and notarized signatures.

USCIS insists this is all to protect immigrants’ privacy and that any claims it’s intended to make things more difficult for them are “baseless.” Advocates say it’s yet another indication that the Trump administration is finding creative ways to make legal immigration harder.

 

“[This] is nothing more than an unnecessary bureaucratic roadblock placed in the way of constituents seeking the assistance of their congressional representatives to cut through USCIS red tape,” said David Leopold, an immigration attorney who formerly headed the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Immigrants looking to get green cards or citizenship often seek help from their members of Congress when USCIS—the agency responsible for helping people legally immigrate and become citizens—isn’t being responsive

awesome news. No more special interests and payola. The swamp is being drained

In other words very little if anything will change from how things currently are. I had to get my congressman involved in my wife's immigration case and they wouldn't do anything for me until I filled out a privacy release form and gave them other paper work. This is a non story.

The pretense that illegal immigration is the target is being dropped.  The real target of Bannon/Trump is legal immigration restrictions including families and the lottery.

 

What is the slogan that is equivalent of build the wall fir legal immigration? Drain the swamp? That makes no sense.

 

As Bannon and white Nationalism prevails in this area, families on this site will be impacted.

The USCIS is set to change how that works as well.

Not sure what you are smoking, but it seems to be inducing paranoia.  Come sit with me awhile, we can talk about it.

I remember the fear mongering and hysteria on these forums when Trump was first elected that Trump was going to end all immigration and deport all immigrants (I may be exaggerating slightly) and none of the things people were freaking out about actually happened. This is just a repeat of that.

Trumpaphobia

An intense fear of President Trump, to the point of irrational behavior, marching in circles, screaming obscenities, destroying property of others and overall insane reactions'

After losing the last election the liberals seem to behaving in a very irrational behavior, obviously suffering from Trumpaphobia

Yay to more bureaucracy?
