President Trump launches crackdown on illegal immigration, with border encounters plummeting
On the right is the view supported by President Trump, who argues that sovereign nations with secure borders decide who can enter their country and under what conditions.
With that big picture in mind, Trump’s ground campaign makes sense. It consists of two aspects. They need to reverse the policies that brought in illegal immigrants and step up the moribund process of removing those already on the move.
The Biden administration has acknowledged that mass migration from the Third World to the First World is not inevitable, but even desirable. Their strategy was to create what they called “safe, orderly, and legal channels,” a euphemism that disguised the admission of large-scale illegal immigration through unauthorized parole programs. They combined this with releasing foreign nationals caught crossing the border illegally into an endless and harrowing asylum process.

They flew these aliens across the country and diverted federal funds to support them. They paralyzed internal enforcement to ensure that a few were excluded. procedural limitations And red tape. The final step would undoubtedly have been to wrest a large-scale pardon from Congress.
The sacrifices made over the past four years are breathtaking. More than 11 million people have been encountered attempting to enter the United States illegally.

When Americans looked at the results, a majority voted for Trump on border security and immigration enforcement. What he is implementing now is a strategy that aligns with multiple efforts to end the magnet for illegal immigration, defund the influx, and step up enforcement.

He called Mexican cartels terrorists and called for “maximum” vetting of visa applicants. He ordered wall construction to resume. Biden has abolished the parole program that was bringing in 75,000 illegal aliens every month.
President Trump ended catch-and-release at the border and freed ICE from onerous procedural rules. He directed government agencies to strip federal funds from uncooperative “sanctuary” jurisdictions.
