Will USCIS Furloughs STOP Legal Immigration?

The USCIS has announced that they need more than 500 million dollars to fill a budget gap! They claim that the budget problems were caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, others say it is a mixture of mismanagement and the Pandemic. USCIS management has notified 13,400 or their 20,000 employees that they will be furlough by the end of the month, August 31st.

Doug Rand, Senior Fellow at the Federation of American Scientists (Immigration Policy) stated, “It’s hard to overstate how bad this would be. USCIS would be operating with a skeleton crew, and our legal immigration system would grind to a halt.”
