\n In 2016, Donald Trump made immigration restrictions a signature campaign issue. Since then, Trump\u2019s aimed at significantly reducing immigration, especially in the months after COVID-19 arrived on our shores. Some voters, polls show, have balked at his more draconian measures, which should provide an opening to Joe Biden. Yet Biden\u2019s problem is the Democratic Party has lurched significantly to the left on immigration, and his own platform reflects that move. There\u2019s little in recent polling that suggests the Biden agenda will app<\/a>eal to any but the most committed leftists, leaving a giant policy vacuum between him and Trump.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Trump called for the construction of a border wall to stem illegal immigration from the south. Since then, he\u2019s faced criticism from his base of voters for stumbling in his efforts to get the wall built, thanks to funding delays and court cases.<\/p>\n

Trump has also issued a series<\/a> of orders that have gradually reduced the influx of legal immigrants, including banning residents of countries the administration said failed to meet US security standards.<\/p>\n

The administration has also created a \u201cpublic charge\u201d rule to limit the chance of legal immigrants becoming a burden on taxpayers \u2014 significantly increasing the number of immigrants denied entry because they weren\u2019t deemed to have the resources to support themselves.<\/p>\n

Finally, early this year, Trump suspended legal entry into the country from \u201cimmigrants who present a risk to the US labor market\u201d in the wake of the economic shutdown, which could produce the largest decline in legal immigration in decades.<\/p>\n

Some of Biden\u2019s immigration policy revolves around reversing what Trump has done and returning to Obama-era policies, including rescinding the public-charge rule. Other Biden proposals are technocratic in nature, such as investing in \u201cbetter technology<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Biden\u2019s proposals don\u2019t go as far as those of some of his Democratic primary opponents, such as Bernie Sanders \u2014 who advocated breaking up Immigration and Customs Enforcement \u2014 Biden\u2019s version of border enforcement would focus on the narrow category of \u201cthreats to national security and public safety\u201d but would end workplace raids and enforcement at a host of what he calls \u201csensitive locations,\u201d such as schools and hospitals.<\/p>\n

That might be an invitation to many immigrants who don\u2019t have prospects of legal entry but would be encouraged to come illegally.<\/p>\n

As much of the Democratic Party has lurched left on immigration, compromise has become difficult. That\u2019s evident in Biden\u2019s strong support for the so-called Diversity Lottery, established by 1990 legislation that grants 50,000 visas annually to individuals from countries with low levels of immigration to the United States.<\/p>\n

Originally created to boost visas to countries like Ireland that had seen their numbers diminish with the immigration overhaul of 1965, the program has long outlived its original purpose, and even one of the sponsors of the 1990 legislation, Sen. Chuck Schumer, proposed several years ago to end the lottery.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Biden defends it in the kind of language reserved for deep moral causes, lauding \u201cthe critical role of diversity preferences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden also argues that addressing \u201croot cause\u201d problems like climate change \u2014 to prevent rising temperatures from destroying jobs in countries south of the US \u2014 and working to boost local economies with US dollars would slow immigration. But research shows that when poorer countries grow richer, emigration can increase because more people can afford to move.<\/p>\n

Biden has excoriated Trump for trying to end the Obama \u201cDreamers\u201d program, which protected from deportation illegal immigrants brought here as young children. But the Obama administration was unsuccessful in several attempts to pass legislation that would have protected Dreamers, even when Democrats controlled Congress.<\/p>\n

A July poll showed that support for reducing immigration has declined. Still, the survey showed, only 34 percent said they currently favored allowing in more newcomers, while 28 percent wanted fewer and 36 percent favored keeping immigration levels where they are.<\/p>\n

After 3\u2009\u00b9\/\u2082 years of Trump\u2019s increasingly restrictive immigration policies, only slightly more than a third of Americans want to further open the gates to immigrants. Trump has clearly lost some support with his hard line. But there\u2019s little evidence to show that voters might be ready for a massive embrace of Biden\u2019s proposals.<\/p>\n
