The president said he would bring a quick end to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza

WASHINGTON—President Biden announced a welcoming and inclusive vision for immigration in a legislative proposal and a series of executive actions
signed on his first day in office. But one year into Biden’s presidency,
his administration continues some of the most destructive immigration
policies that he denounced on the campaign trail while also dealing with persistent issues that worsened under his predecessor.

President Biden inherited a beleaguered immigration system that erects
barriers to accessing lawful mechanisms to come to the United States,
makes humanitarian protection out of reach for many who need it, and
fails to provide a permanent solution to long-standing members of our communities. These barriers have had a dramatic impact on immigration
trends, the economy, and communities across America that will take years
to reverse.

The following statement is from Jeremy Robbins, executive director of the American Immigration Council:

“One year ago, we applauded President Biden’s proposal for immigration reform and stated commitment to create a cohesive America where all people
are welcomed and where sound immigration policy can thrive. One year into
his administration, the president has made progress in several critical
areas, including beginning the difficult work of restoring our system of
legal immigration. But sensible reform on immigration eludes our
perpetually divided Congress, and some of Biden’s efforts to enact immigrant-friendly policies have been constrained by concerns about the public’s perception of his ability to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
At the end of the first year, Biden’s promise to create a safe and orderly process for seeking asylum at the border remains entirely unfulfilled, immigration detention has expanded, separated families have not been made whole, and bureaucratic delays have dramatically slowed the approval of
visas and work permits for immigrants.

“Our nation needs an updated immigration system that meets the needs of
our communities and the economy and respects the dignity of each person
in this country. The Biden administration must redouble its efforts in
the coming year to ensure that the federal government treats immigrants
and refugees fairly and with compassion, mobilize the federal bureaucracy
to make sure that changes to our immigration system are realized, recognize
the harms done to thousands of families separated at the border, and make
the system more accessible to aspiring Americans.

“We know that only so much can be achieved in a year and that immigration will not quickly cease to be a polarizing issue. But the Biden
administration must commit to ensuring the well-being of all Americans—no matter where they were born—and building inclusive communities across the United States. We must work together to rewrite immigration policies for
the 21st century, restore faith on America’s promise to provide safe haven for those seeking protection, and ensure that immigrants and the
communities they settle in succeed.”
