The article highlights the paradox of U.S. immigration policy where the government's aim to remove undocumented immigrants is counterproductive. The undocumented population, estimated at 11-13 million, may increase by over two million due to the elimination of legal pathways. Programs like Temporary Protected Status and others facilitating legal entry have been revoked, putting many previously documented individuals at risk of becoming undocumented. As a result, fear and panic proliferate within immigrant communities, further complicating the already intricate landscape of U.S. immigration policy.
The administration is paradoxically expanding deportation lists while undermining legal paths, driving an increase in undocumented immigrants and pushing many into further shadows.
This creates a fear-induced panic within immigrant communities, particularly among those previously holding temporary legal statuses now facing abrupt revocation.
Amidst this chaos, we're witnessing new types of undocumented immigrants emerging, particularly those experiencing sudden status revocations amid a climate of fear.
The government's actions, aimed at expelling undocumented individuals, ironically contribute to their rise within the country by limiting legal pathways.
