Trump's First 100 Days: Improvements to Enforcement, Begin Laying Groundwork for Legal Reforms

[protectionist]

Lot of good stuff here >> Immigration has been a key component of Trump's 100-day agenda. Thus far, Trump has solely relied on his executive powers to stem the tide of illegal border crossings, and beef up interior enforcement. And while he's taken some good first steps in addressing legal immigration, he's yet to take strong action on protecting American workers from the steady flow of cheap foreign labor that drives down wages and increases job competition for workers.

Hopefully as time goes by. More and more action will be taken. Here's some of the good stuff dome already. >>>

In just his first week after being sworn in, Pres. Trump signed two Executive Orders aimed at securing the border and strengthening interior enforcement. Those Executive Orders called for:

• Increases in Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents,
• Increase in immigration judges,
• Withholding visas from countries that refuse to repatriate deported aliens,
• An end to catch-and-release,
• The construction of more detention facilities for detained illegal aliens along the border,
• Granting Border Patrol access to federal lands,
• Ending Pres. Obama's Priority Enforcement Program (PEP),
• Reinstating Secure Communities and encouraging increased participation from local police in immigration enforcement, and
• Creation of an office for victims of illegal-alien crimes.
