After being re-elected, Donald Trump is now working to change how people can get a Green Card by putting more focus on immigration based on merit. As part of his plan to bring in qualified immigrants, he wants to increase regulations and come up with new ideas.
Trump wants an immigration system that gives priority to people with skills in fields like technology, engineering, and science that are in high demand.
What is the aim of these Green Card changes?
This plan is meant to help the U.S. economy by bringing in highly qualified immigrants. It’s similar to how things work in Canada and Australia, where people get residency based on their professional backgrounds and how they might help the job market.
An “aggressive verification” system is one of the most important parts of the proposal. The goal of this evaluation process is to make sure that only migrants who meet certain requirements are allowed to stay in the country.
It includes thorough background checks and looking into any possible ties to activities that the government sees as dangerous. Trump has said many times that his administration will make sure people who want to live in the United States permanently have a clean record and don’t pose a threat to the country.
“We want immigrants who share our values and help make our country stronger,” Trump said in his victory speech. His strict screening process is meant to keep out people with criminal records, ties to extremist groups, and attitudes that are against American values.
Changes in Family Reunification and Green Card Processes
Trump’s policy also calls for big changes to the way families are reunited. In the past, family members who were already U.S. citizens or residents could help someone get a Green Card.
Trump, on the other hand, wants to cut down on this way of immigration, which is often called “chain migration.” The new plan aims to make it harder for relatives of citizens to become residents unless they meet certain requirements based on merit and their ability to contribute to the economy. This bill is in line with an idea of immigration that puts the needs of the U.S. economy first.
The Diversity Visa Lottery system, which lets people from countries with low immigration rates to the U.S. live here permanently, could also be replaced with a points-based system that focuses on skills and accomplishments. Trump says that this change will help the U.S. attract people who can directly help the growth of the country.
Implications for International Workers and Students
Focusing on merit would help highly qualified professionals, but Trump also wants to change the rules for students and foreign workers who want to work in the U.S. Students, especially those studying science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM), might be able to get a Green Card after they finish their studies in the U.S.
Trump has made it clear, though, that this will only happen for students who show they have great skills and have passed the verification process.
