How did the US immigration policy evolve in 2021?

In 2021, the United States saw several changes to its immigration policies. One of the most significant changes was the repeal of the controversial travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries. The Biden administration also proposed a comprehensive immigration reform bill called the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which aims to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and enhance border security measures. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued new guidelines to prioritize the deportation of individuals who pose a threat to public safety or have recently entered the country illegally.

Other changes included an increase in the number of refugees admitted to the United States, the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and the reinstatement of a program that allows individuals from certain countries to temporarily live and work in the United States.
