The Top 10: What can a President Biden fix on January 21, 2021 (let's give him one day to celebrate):
1. Undo all of the travel bans affecting millions of Americans and their families (by EO or Proclamation); 2. Order @StateDept to begin liberally issuing F-1 visas again;
3. Order @USCIS to reinstate DACA AND expand eligibility to anyone who arrived prior by 1/1/2016; 4. Reinstate TPS for everyone cancelled by Trump; 5. Notify Congress that he intends to recapture the #DV2020 visas not timely issued by @StateDept;
6. Notify @USCIS and @StateDept that derivatives are no longer counted against the allocated visa numbers in Employment and Family based categories; 7. Announce that @USCIS and @DOL will be withdrawing any regulations issued or published within the last four years;
8. Order @ICE to cease all removal operations in the interior and to immediately reimplement prosecutorial discretion at every level; 9. Order @DOJ_EOIR to immediately cease implementing every decision issued by the BIA and the AG since January 20, 2017; and
10. Order @CBP to immediately accept asylum seekers in accordance with federal law.
There are about 915 more such policy reversals that need to take place to restore sanity to #Immigration system.
President Trump acted illegally when he ended the Diversity Lottery 2020 program, something that he has talked about wanting to do for the last four years. The President does NOT have the authority to overturn the entire statutory scheme of immigration created by Congress.
By acting in this unlawful manner, Trump violates the Take Care clause of the U.S. Constitution, and he operates outside the boundaries of INA 212(f), which requires specific actions in order to fulfill its requirements, actions the President failed to take.
