President-elect Trump is likely to move quickly to secure the border and revamp the immigration system when he takes office in January, including several Day 1 moves.
Voters chose to send President-elect Trump back to the White House in large part over concerns about immigration and border security, something the former president will look to quickly address when he starts a new term in office. 'He could probably shut down the border, declare that there’s an emergency… stop the entry of people until further notice,' Alfonso Aguilar, a former chief of the U.S.
Trump spent much of the campaign promising to secure the border and deport those in the country illegally, drawing a sharp contrast between himself and the Biden administration, which saw record-setting numbers of border crossings over its first three years in the White House.
Aguilar also said there could be a return of 'workforce raids,' an enforcement tactic not seen in recent years that might be back in the 'first few days, few weeks.' Other policies, however, are likely to take time, including a return to the Migrant Protection Protocols, more commonly referred to as 'Remain in Mexico,' which will require coordination with the Mexican government.
There’s certain things that he will be able to do administratively, but he may need some legislation for some of the other stuff,' Aguilar said. 'If you want to hire more immigration judges, you’re going to need more money, so I would imagine that they will also have some sort of immigration package ready to go to get money from Congress.'
