川普上台这一年:盘点2017移民政策变化
songmenglaw / 0 Comments /2017年1月,川普正式入驻白宫。由于曾在竞选期间多次做出对移民不利好的发言,使得川普的正式上台在移民群体内人心惶惶。上台伊始,改革方案历经多次泄密乌龙,真假莫辨。之后颁布针对中东国家的旅行禁令,撤销DACA(非法移民的工作许可),在舆论上都掀起了大波澜。
转眼间,2017年已近尾声。宋和孟律师事务所(Song & Meng)的孟小洁律师在此和大家一起回顾一下过去一年间,川普在移民政策方面的改革具体内容有哪些,形式又是怎样的。总体概括来说,川普在移民法改革上可谓雷厉风行,真有点应验了他在竞选期间的那一句“我一个人就可以搞定这一切”,表现形式是:法案推不动,行政命令凑;法规要时间,红头文件先。
下面,孟小洁律师和大家细数一下2017年落地的移民政策变化究竟有哪些,尤其是和美国职业移民(EB类)及工作签证相关的政策变化。也在此一并展望下2018年的美国移民形势。
