According to reports from The Washington Times, President-elect Donald Trump has made a bold commitment to prioritize border security and immigration enforcement on the first day of his presidency.
Speaking to reporters at the U.S. Capitol on January 8, Trump outlined his plan to “close” the U.S. border and deport criminal illegal immigrants, referring to the initiative as “common sense.”
In his remarks, Trump stressed the necessity of securing the nation’s borders, declaring, “It’s going to be closed very strongly.”
He added that his administration would focus on removing individuals with criminal backgrounds from the country, including those with records of violent crimes or from mental institutions.
“We have people from jails all over the world and from mental institutions, and as you know, they’re going to have to be removed,” Trump said, emphasizing that the American people do not want criminals in their communities.
This pledge to tackle illegal immigration and enhance border security has been a central theme of Trump’s campaign.
He has repeatedly condemned the presence of individuals who have entered the U.S. illegally, particularly those with criminal histories, citing public safety concerns.
Trump’s statements coincide with the ongoing debate in Congress over the Laken Riley Act, a proposed immigration bill named after a Georgia college student murdered by an illegal immigrant.
The bill, which passed the House on January 7, mandates the detention and deportation of illegal immigrants charged with crimes such as theft or burglary.
Trump’s message was clear: “We’re going to get our country back again, and we’re going to be governed by common sense.” With a promise to restore order to U.S. immigration policies, Trump vowed that under his leadership, America would regain its global respect and sovereignty.Tap Here To Read Full Details
