Sorry Liberals – Trump Has a lot of Power Over Immigration Policy

trump immigration

If Donald Trump deserves credit for one thing this past election, it was bringing the issue of illegal immigration center-stage. Rather than wimp out on the issue of immigration like Mitt Romney (who wanted illegals to “self-deport”), or “Jeb!” Bush (who thought that illegal immigration was an “act of love”), he had a bold plan. We’d build a wall along the Mexican border, and Mexico would pay for it.

For some reason, people actually doubt that someone with Trump’s experience in real estate and construction could pull it off. If China could build a 13,171 mile long over 1,300 years ago – The Great Wall of China – we can build one on the Mexican border, which totals about 2,000 miles in length. In all fairness, the Chinese didn’t get the Mongolians to pay for the wall, I suppose.

Contrary to the pundits, as it turns out, it’ll be easier for Trump to build his wall than you’d think. The President has a good deal of room to affect immigration policy:

President-elect Donald Trump will be able to make many of his promised changes in immigration policy unilaterally by the use of executive power.

While most of the measures laid out in a ten-point immigration policy plan on Trump’s transition website could be set in motion without legislative approval, fully implementing them would require funding that Congress would have to approve, legal experts said.

Two core pieces of Trump’s plan, for example, involve removing more criminal immigrants who are in the country illegally and ending “catch and release” of those who cross the border illegally and are awaiting court hearings.

Shifting policy on both issues could be accomplished by putting out new enforcement directives to agents in the field from the Department of Homeland Security.

His first step will be reversing Obama’s prior executive orders on immigration. He can remove with a mere pen-stroke Obama’s 2012 policy which allowed immigrants brought here illegally as children to apply for work permits (a program known as DACA).

From that point on, it’s just a matter of actually building the wall. I’ll honestly be surprised if he’s able to get Mexico to pay for the wall, but considering how conventional wisdom has been wrong about EVERYTHING relating to Trump before, who knows?

  1. Just think of all the tax payer money that could be saved to use on citizens of this country! All that money wasted on feeding and housing illegals could be better used on public education in cities that so badly need it! For those who want to stay in this country should be given citizenship one way only and that being to serve in our military for no less than 4 years! If for any reason they are dismissed before that 4 year period, they would be immediately deported!

  2. The one big thing that we need to do is to get your Congressman/woman, and your Senator to push for E-Verify! This will do many things (1) will make it a federal law that any company knowingly hiring illegals will be met with fines and/ or imprisonment, (2) will make it impossible for illegal aliens to get any kind of federal aide (Welfare), (3) will make it impossible for them to get any form of medical care, and (4) making it impossible to get any type of retirement program! These things will make it undesirable for them to want to stay! Then we need to take all federal funds away from cities and states that sponsor sanctuary cities! With the loss of federal funds, states and cities will soon fall in line or fail!

  3. His first step SHOULD be reversing Obama’s prior executive orders on immigration, especially remove with pen-stroke Obama’s 2012 policy which allowed immigrants brought here illegally as children to apply for work permits (a program known as DACA).
    I know a lot of those teens who abuse the system. He should stop the chain immigration, and make sure that those who worked illegally and did not pay tax, pay back what is owe before getting a work permit. Never a path to citizenship.

  4. Trump will just make Executive Orders to do what he wants. And all the teary-eyed conservatives who objected to Obama’s Executive Orders will fall in line behind Il Trump, because it was never about Executive Orders.
