Whenever U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement insists it is just doing its job, Americans should take a closer look at what is happening.
The new immigration policies President Donald Trump’s administration released Tuesday make America less humane; they target millions of people who have been in this country for years, have contributed to society and have raised children here.
President Trump’s hardline attitude toward immigration has helped boot morale among border patrol agents, according to the union representing the agents.
Team Trump’s newest immigration orders definitely toughen enforcement, but they’re a far cry from mass roundups.
Immigrants nationwide are waiting anxiously to see how President Trump handles immigration enforcement after his rhetoric suggested a hardline approach.
As a candidate, Donald Trump pledged “zero tolerance for criminal aliens,” a stance, stripped of its tough-guy rhetoric, that might not have represented too drastic a departure from President Barack Obama’s prioritization of undocumented felons for deportation.
President Trump’s pledge to remove 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants from the U.S. began last week when federal officers arrested more than 680 people living in the country illegally.
