As candidates gear up for the 2024 election, immigration policy is emerging as a key focal point for their campaigns. Immigration will be a hot topic in the 2024 presidential race. Candidates will discuss their plans for changing or keeping immigration policies in the United States.

✅ OPEN BORDERS VS. SHUTTING DOWN BORDER

President Biden and his administration have made a lot of strides for people to come to and stay in the U.S. legally. Meanwhile, former President Trump has come out with a strict approach to increasing deportations and closing the U.S. Border for his election campaign. Immigration will be a central issue in the 2024 presidential race. As I write this, the White House is negotiating a border shutdown and bringing back pandemic-era policies. They would limit migrants entering the U.S. in exchange for Congress approving financial aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

✅ CANDIDATES WILL CHOOSE APPROACH IN LINE WITH THEIR VOTERS’ DEMANDS

The way candidates talk about immigration can influence how people vote in the 2024 election. Some candidates will emphasize U.S. Border security and whether it should remain “open” with the CBP One App’s 98% approval rate for entering asylum-seekers. Meanwhile, others may focus on creating pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants (like a reform). Other focuses are on shutting down the border, bringing back Covid-era restrictions like “remain in Mexico” and Title 42.

✅ DEMOGRAPHICS

As candidates try to appeal to different immigrant communities, demographics will play a big role in the 2024 election cycle. They must understand that the growing immigrant population can have an impact on election outcomes.

✅ ASYLUM ISSUES

Candidates will also debate issues related to refugees and asylum seekers. This could be a humanitarian concern for immigrants as well as a national security issue during the 2024 election.

✅ BACKLOG

The immigration cases backlog is a hot button issue. Immigration judges are openly sharing info. The overwhelming number of cases in courts is concerning. The visa bulletin has not moved in months in 2023.

✅ THIS ELECTION WILL DECIDE THE FUTURE

It’s important to follow the election closely and stay informed about each candidate’s stance on immigration. Immigration will decide many social issues for the future in this country. The younger generation’s views on this issue, especially, will shape the future of U.S. immigration policy.
