An administration proposal would eliminate the applications of 4 million people waiting in family and employment-based green card backlogs.
Share to twitterDonald Trump speaking about his new immigration plan in the Rose Garden of the White House on May 16, 2019. It may be best to ignore the politics and rhetoric around the Trump administration’s new immigration plan and focus on its most relevant part: Under the proposal, more than 4 million people waiting in family and employment-based green card backlogs would have their immigration applications eliminated, even if they have been waiting in line for years to immigrate.
The plan is expected to be transformed into legislative language and introduced in Congress, which means it is possible changes could be made. The elimination of nearly all family immigration categories, as well as preventing those waiting in backlogs from immigrating, virtually assures Democrats will oppose the proposal.
The half million or more individuals waiting in employment-based immigrant backlogs must hope to achieve enough points or will eventually need to leave the country.
