Since President Trump took office, the number of arrests of illegal immigrants has risen sharply. According to the latest data released by the independent think tank Pew Research Center, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a total of 143,470 people in 2017, an increase of 30% compared to 2016, reaching a three-year high.
The largest increases in arrests occurred in Florida, Northern Texas, and Oklahoma. In the Dallas area of Texas alone, 16,500 illegal immigrants were arrested last year.
In 2017, the number of arrests of illegal immigrants in the New Orleans, Atlanta, Boston, and Detroit areas increased by more than 50%.
The Trump administration has also stepped up enforcement operations in sanctuary cities across the United States. Immigration officials stated that they raided 77 companies in various sanctuary cities in Northern California last week. Immigration authorities reported that they conducted 1,360 such raids nationwide in 2017.
According to other reports, after taking office, President Trump authorized immigration authorities to crack down on gang members and drug traffickers among illegal immigrants, which expanded the enforcement powers of immigration authorities, leading to the arrest of 37,734 illegal immigrants last year who had no criminal records but were accused of violations.
A mother from Virginia who had lived in the United States for 11 years was arrested during a traffic stop and deported to El Salvador last June. A man in Connecticut who had children with his U.S.-born wife and had no criminal record was deported to Guatemala last week.
The Trump administration has abandoned the Obama administration's policy of not arresting illegal immigrants without criminal records, granting immigration enforcement agencies greater authority to decide which immigrants to arrest and under what circumstances. Illegal immigrants who are required to report to immigration authorities regularly can no longer rely on good behavior to avoid arrest and deportation.
Since President Trump took office, while cracking down on illegal immigration, he has also continuously tightened immigration policies, significantly narrowing the paths to obtaining a U.S. Green Card! As an important means of personal investment, EB-5 investment not only allows for the allocation of RMB assets into USD assets but also enables the entire family to obtain a U.S. Green Card and enjoy U.S. educational resources and social welfare. Therefore, it is highly sought after by investors. However, after the EB-5 Regional Center Program expires on March 23, the investment amount may increase, the application threshold may be raised, and the era of obtaining a Green Card for the whole family with a $500,000 investment may finally become history.
Therefore, experts from Worldway Immigration Group remind everyone to cherish the era of low-cost $500,000 U.S. immigration, seize the excellent opportunity to plan your life and build a second home in the United States!
