Daniela Fernandez spends the school day walking around her grandmother’s home in Medellin, Colombia, looking for a quiet spot that gets wifi. She starts up her school-issued laptop in the kitchen or the back patio. If her relatives wake up and start arguing, she camps out on the terrace or slips into an empty bedroom.

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 4, 2021 / Today, the Law Firm of Carlos E. Sandoval released the following summary of President Joe Biden s immigration reform policies.

Pathway to citizenship for 11 million people.
Temporary legal status for persons that were in the United States as of January 1, 2021 and possibility to apply for a green card after five years if they meet certain requirements.

In his first weeks in office, President Joe Biden has made his administration’s approach on immigration policy clear: reviewing or replacing four years of his predecessor’s hardline approaches.
In less than three weeks in office, Biden has sent to Congress a massive immigration reform bill that would provide a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants, issued executive orders to refortify the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and ordered a review of interior enforcement policies and the controversial Migrant Protection Protocols.
