President Donald Trump will
begin rolling out executive actions on immigration Wednesday, beginning
with steps to tighten border security - including his proposed wall
along the US-Mexico border.
The
president is also expected to take action over the next few days to
temporarily ban immigration from Muslim countries deemed a 'threat to
national security' - namely Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, and
Somalia.
In addition, Trump is set to
sign other domestic immigration enforcement measures that will include
targeting sanctuary cities that decline to prosecute undocumented
aliens.
n total over the next few days, Trump is expected to:
- Direct federal funds toward the construction of a wall along the southern border
- Target so-called 'sanctuary' cities that decline to prosecute undocumented aliens
Measures still being finalized and subject to change include:
- A four-month freeze on admission of all refugees
- Grant exceptions to Christians and other minorities fleeing Muslim persecution
- Halt visas to people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen because the Muslim-majority countries that are 'terror prone'
- The visa bans would last at least 30 days while vetting processes are reviewed
- Stop protecting illegal immigrants who arrived in the US as children from deportation
