Increased Military Presence, Wall Construction, and Denial of Birthright Citizenship

President Trump's Planned Immigration Crackdown

President Trump is planning a sweeping crackdown on immigration following his inauguration. He intends to invoke various executive powers to implement these changes, which are likely to face legal challenges.

Increased military presence at the border: Trump will declare a national emergency at the southern border and deploy additional troops there.

Construction of the border wall will resume, and the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their hearings, will be reinstated.

Trump will attempt to end asylum by proclamation, allowing for fast-track deportations at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump will designate cartels and international gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, seeking to penalize them for their role in illegal migration and drug trafficking.

Trump will attempt to deny birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.

Trump will suspend refugee admissions into the U.S. for at least 4 months.

Trump will rescind Biden administration programs designed to curb illegal immigration by offering legal alternatives to crossing the border illegally.

Trump will direct the attorney general to seek the death penalty for unauthorized immigrants who murder law enforcement officers or commit "capital" crimes.

Trump will assign agencies to issue suggestions for further restrictions on immigration from countries of "particular concern."

These actions are likely to be met with significant legal challenges and public debate.
