4 dark years await American immigrants; what are Trump’s plans?
With the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election, the focus on strict immigration policies and border control has once again become a priority. These policies, which were previously implemented during his previous presidency, are being expanded and intensified.
Following Trump’s election as the 47th President of the United States in the presidential election, the Democratic-affiliated CNN announced: that Trump’s allies and advisers are prepared to detain and deport illegal immigrants living in the United States, and the priority of the Trump administration on the first day is to restore border policy.
Of course, there is no need to wait for January 20 the time when he enters the White House and makes decisions on immigrants and borders, and this strict approach can be seen in his controversial appointments.
Trump’s controversial options for closing borders and deporting immigrants
The US president-elect has recently selected former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief Thomas (Tom) Homan to serve as the next administration’s “border czar.”
According to US media reports, Trump’s choice of 62-year-old Tom Homan for the position was highly anticipated. “I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there’s no one better at inspecting and controlling our borders,” Trump said, adding that Homan’s duties will include monitoring the Mexican and Canadian borders, as well as the US coastline and airspace.
