Joe Biden Vows Immediate Immigration Action"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Last Friday, President-elect Joe Biden announced that he will immediately pursue immigration legislation after becoming President of the United States on January 20.\u00a0 It is currently unknown what exactly may be included in the legislation, but President-elect Biden has indicated previously that immigration goals include reversing the <a href=\"https:\/\/law888.com\/updated-travel-ban-targets-six-additional-countries\/\">travel ban<\/a> that targets many Muslim-majority countries and addressing the <a href=\"https:\/\/law888.com\/daca-program-fully-restored-federal-judge\/\">plight of the Dreamers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/law888.com\/318000-tps-immigrants-risk-deportation-court-ruling\/\">immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) at risk of losing their status<\/a>.\u00a0 During his Friday announcement, President-elect Biden also indicated that the Justice Department will investigate the policies that lead to <a

href=\"https:\/\/law888.com\/immigration-law-continues-in-flux\/\">Immigration law has been in flux<\/a> over the past four years.\u00a0 Most of the immigration actions taken by the government under the Trump administration had negative ramifications for immigrants and foreign workers employed in the United States.\u00a0 Some were outright hostile.\u00a0 As the Biden administration takes over, it is not clear what changes to immigration can be realistically implemented quickly, but it is unlikely that any changes will be intentionally harmful to the people who want to live and work legally in the US.\u00a0 New changes to immigration laws could open potential avenues for work visas, <a href=\"https:\/\/greencard888.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">green cards,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/greencard888.com\/citizenship-naturalization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. citizenship<\/a> that did not previously exist.<\/p>\n<p>The Law Offices of Scott Warmuth closely monitors any potential changes in immigration law to best serve our clients.\u00a0 Our <a href=\"https:\/\/law888.com\/immigration-lawyer\/\">immigration attorneys<\/a> will be poring over the legislation that President-elect Biden has indicated will be imminently introduced to determine how we can continue to help our clients and community.\u00a0 We have been helping foreign workers and
