Trump's Potential Return Could Reshape H-1B Visa Landscape

Mexico United States

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, immigration attorneys brace for possible stringent changes to the H-1B visa system if Trump wins. During his first term, Trump increased the number of denials and paperwork for H-1B visas.

Although Biden reversed some policies, Trump's potential return raises concerns about increased barriers and delays. Biden's administration is considering adding STEM jobs to the Schedule A Shortage Occupation List, but it is facing opposition from labour unions.

The tech industry continues to push for visa expansions. If Trump wins, a wage-based distribution system for H-1B visas may be reintroduced, favouring high-paying employers and impacting startups and smaller firms.

A survey found that 62% of Polish respondents support reintroducing EU border controls to curb irregular migration. Only 23% opposed it, while 15% had no opinion. Germany recently rejected a stricter immigration bill and plans to impose permanent border controls.

Other Schengen nations, including Italy and Hungary, have also reinstated controls. Poland opposes both border controls and the EU migration pact, which requires migrant relocation.

Foreign Minister Sikorski called border checks a mistake, arguing control should be at external Schengen borders. Prime Minister Tusk firmly rejected forced migrant relocations, emphasizing Poland’s security efforts.

Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs has warned citizens about rising visa fraud and fake job offers. Many have been scammed while applying for visas.

The ministry urged Kenyans to use official websites and conduct due diligence before seeking jobs abroad. Visa applications are personal and do not require agents. Overstaying a visa is illegal and can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation.

Kenya’s Missions abroad are available to assist job seekers. Fraudulent agencies continue to exploit job seekers, with many losing large sums. Social media scams targeting desperate job seekers remain a major concern.

Berlin Protest Condemns CDU’s Far-Right Immigration Push

Germany

#immigration

Thousands gathered in Berlin to protest the CDU’s collaboration with the far-right AfD on anti-immigration policies. Police estimated at least 20,000 attendees, and the number is rising.

The CDU, led by Friedrich Merz, broke Germany’s post-WWII norm by seeking AfD’s support. A non-binding resolution to block undocumented migrants passed, but a stricter immigration bill failed.

Protests also took place in Hamburg, Leipzig, and other cities. Organizers, including NGOs and unions, denounced the CDU’s shift. Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned that conservatives and the far right might soon govern together, following trends seen in other countries.
