Illegal immigration

Trump has also unveiled several proposals to combat illegal immigration. His “Agenda47” includes making “illegals ineligible for public housing,” the termination of “all work permits for illegal aliens” and seeking a bill from Congress “blocking any future President from abusing his power to distribute welfare benefits in this manner.” 

The candidate is promising to issue “an Executive Order to stop federal agencies from granting automatic U.S. citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants,” a practice known as birthright citizenship.

He noted that the executive order will also have the effect of stopping “birth tourism,” which he described as a phenomenon where “foreign nationals fraudulently enter the U.S. each year during the final weeks of their pregnancies for the sole purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for their child.”

Trump’s “action plan to destroy the drug cartels” includes the restoration “of all Trump border policies” and ensuring “a fully secure border,” the deployment of “all necessary military assets, including the U.S. Navy, to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels, to ensure they cannot use our region’s waters to traffic illicit drugs to the U.S.” and the designation of “the major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.” 

Trump will also seek to “cut off the cartels’ access to the global financial system,” secure the “full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the cartels” and “ask Congress to ensure drug smugglers and traffickers can receive the Death Penalty.” 

On the campaign trail, Trump has repeatedly called for “the largest deportation” force of illegal aliens in U.S. history.
