What Trump's migration crackdown could mean for foreign students
- After Donald Trump won the November election, many U.S. universities took the proactive step of warning their international students against staying abroad for the holidays beyond Jan. 20, Trump's first day in office, for fear that the students would have trouble returning to the U.S. under the new administration.
The article from Reuters discusses the significant changes in U.S. immigration policy under former President Donald Trump, focusing on the period from 2017 to 2021. Trump's administration implemented a series of restrictive measures aimed at reducing both legal and illegal immigration. Key actions included ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protected undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children; attempting to limit asylum claims by introducing policies like the "Remain in Mexico" program; and significantly reducing refugee admissions. The administration also pushed for the construction of a border wall with Mexico, altered legal immigration pathways by restricting family-based and diversity visa programs, and introduced public charge rules to deny green cards to immigrants likely to use public benefits. These policies led to a notable decrease in immigration numbers, with a 49% drop in legal immigration in 2020 compared to 2016, and a sharp decline in asylum grants. Despite these efforts, many of Trump's policies faced legal challenges, and some were reversed or modified by subsequent administrations or court rulings.
