One way a Harris administration would differ from a Trump administration would be in actually trying to improve the system of immigration from the Philippines to the US

You might have heard of the Electoral College, where 48 of the 50 states’ electoral votes are awarded winner-takes-all. Whether you win by a million votes or one vote with a butterfly ballot and hanging chads, this system means that in this cycle, only six or seven battleground states’ votes actually matter: some combination of AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, and WI.
While there is some slice of true believer Fil-Ams, most of the “smart Republican” Fil-Ams I talk to cite law and order, the economy, lower taxes, and religion as their motivation. There are no trigger numbers or statistics cited, and this probably won’t happen in real life, but there is a desire to shut down immigration completely if Trump wins. I’m going to guess that US citizens will always be able to sponsor their spouses, minor children, and probably fiancés, but their right to sponsor parents, adult sons and daughters , and siblings might go away. Green card holders that spend a lot of time in the Philippines might want to naturalize to upgrade their situations.
Where we see backlogs is for people who are processing through the US embassy in the Philippines. One growing niche is the mandamus lawsuit, where you sue the government agency in federal district court for unreasonable delay or denial of your petition. That being said, the Biden administration has presided over the most deportations in history — more than under Obama and more than under Trump. This goes back to efficiency. Since prosecutors have more leeway to prioritize violent, dangerous, or felonious respondents, and discretion to leave lower priority targets alone, Democratic administrations tend to be more efficient at deportation.
