Donald Trump is addressing some of, what he believes to be, the most pressing issues in our country to date. Specifically, he will be addressing Mega Wall, sanctuary cities, and immigration flow. These issues will first be addressed, professionally, during his trip to the Department of Homeland Security Wednesday (1/25) afternoon.
- Mega Wall is expected to break ground within the next few months. One of the most important questions surrounding this decision is… So who is going to pay for it? Donald Trump is proposing that the American taxpayers pay up front for the wall with roll back reimbursements once he convinces the Mexican government to pay us back. President Nieto, of Mexico, has made it very clear that not he nor his people will be paying for that border wall. This has implications that roll backs will never reach the American tax payer if this wall is actually built.
- Sanctuary Cities are cities that have policies to not persecute undocumented illegal immigrants. Donald Trump is planning to defund those programs and get back to the federal law that you must enter our country legally or you will be deported. This is an issue that is not under constant scrutiny because a majority of American citizens believe that we should uphold our laws and not refer to or use them conditionally. However, this brings about a whole new issue of birth rights and their application to illegal immigrants… which is under constant review and scrutiny.
- Immigration flow referrers specifically to crimping the flow of refugees and immigrants into the United States. For the next four months President Trump will be halting all refugee admissions while also implementing a temporary ban on influx from Muslim-majority countries. As you might expect the public policy organization who wrote this plan has asked to remain anonymous.
