But here's a look at what we should expect to happen on immigration in 2019. Congressional Oversight of Immigration Policy: In the past two years, there has been virtually no Congressional oversight of even the most controversial administration immigration policies. In 2019, USCIS will likely continue to cite a questionable DHS “overstay” report to justify actions against international students. The Big Picture: With two years left in Donald Trump’s term, expect the small group of administration officials who drive immigration policy to attempt to “lock in” restrictions on immigration. In 2019, expect the administration to continue its efforts to reduce immigration to the United States.
