Changes to Immigration Laws Poised for Reversal Under President Biden
|
|
There have been many changes to immigration law over the past few years, most of which have been viewed as detrimental to immigrants who wish to live and work in the United States. With the election of President-Elect Joe Biden, any changes made to immigration via executive order by President Trump could be quickly reversed by a new executive order. It is expected that certain policies will be undone soon after Inauguration Day, January 20, 2021.

Violations of classification can be pursued for damages under employment law.
