4 black years waiting for American immigrants; What plans does Trump have? – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

TheMehr News Agency, International Group, Hassan Shokohi Nasab: With the victory of “Donald Trump” in the presidential elections, the focus on strict immigration policies and border control has become a priority once again. These policies, which were already implemented during his previous presidency, are expanding and intensifying.

news networkCNitAfter the election of Trump as the 47th president of the United States of America, the affiliate of the Democrats announced: Trump’s allies and advisors are prepared to detain and deport illegal immigrants living in the United States, and the priority of the first day of the Trump administration is to restore the border policy.

Of course, there is no need to wait for January 20 (1st of Bahman) when he enters the White House and makes decisions about immigrants and borders, and this strict approach can be seen in his controversial appointments.

Trump’s controversial options for closing borders and deporting immigrants

The President-elect recently nominated Thomas (Tom) Homan, the former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to serve as the “the tsar Marzi” (Border Director) has chosen for the future government.

According to American media reports, Trump’s choice of 62-year-old Tom Homan for this post was highly anticipated. Trump said, “I have known Tom for a long time, and there is no one better than him to inspect and control our borders,” adding that Homan’s duties will include monitoring the borders of Mexico and Canada, as well as the coastline and airspace of the United States.

It should be noted that in the second week of his presidency in 2017, Trump appointed Homan as the head of the US Border Agency. In November of that year, Trump nominated him to be the permanent director of the office, but the Senate never approved his nomination. But this time is different, and the entire Congress (Senate and Representatives) is in the hands of Republicans.

Homan played a key role in designing and implementing Trump’s highly controversial family separation policy, under which children who entered the US illegally at the southern border were separated from their parents or other adults, pending criminal prosecution. .

This policy, which is sometimes referred to as “zero tolerance” or “zero tolerance”, began in 2017 and intensified in early 2018, but after a while, a large number of Americans found this policy inhumane, and the Trump administration was forced to withdraw from it.

“As someone who has spent 34 years deporting illegal aliens, the message to the millions of illegal aliens who are Biden Brought them into the country in violation of federal law, I have: Better pack your bags now. Yes, it is absolutely true. Because you’re going home.”

“Steven MillerOne of the key figures in the immigration policies of the previous Trump presidency, has now been appointed as the deputy head of the policy office in the new Trump administration. Known for his hardline stance on immigration, he was instrumental in designing and implementing controversial policies such as the “zero tolerance” program and severe restrictions on asylum seekers.

In the new administration, he will oversee immigration policies, including plans to massively deport undocumented immigrants and tighten legal immigration processes.

Miller It will also play a key role in bringing back controversial policies such as “stay in Mexico” and reducing access to asylum. He has also supported changing the immigration system to a merit-based model, justifying this view as a way to reduce pressure on national resources.

many Miller are accused of promoting policies that can lead to the separation of families and violations of human rights. His appointment reflects the direction of the Trump administration to implement more assertive immigration policies.

Previously, the American website “Axios» About Miller It was written: No one more than Miller Not interested in tougher borders and deporting illegal immigrants. He seems to be the architect and leader of the new efforts against immigrants. But some of Trump’s friends worry that he is not the right public face for “the largest deportation operation in American history.”

What plans do Trump and his team have regarding borders and immigrants?

1. Border security with a border wall

Trump has promised to continue the project of building a border wall between the United States and Mexico and at the same time use advanced surveillance technologies and increase customs and border protection forces. His justification is that the plan to build a wall is being implemented with the aim of reducing illegal immigration and combating human and drug trafficking. He also plans to introduce new laws to speed up the deportation of illegal immigrants, especially those with criminal records.

Based on the report PoliticoAccording to the predictions of political experts, it seems that Trump will begin the process of deporting hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the first 100 days of his rule in the White House. He is expected to end parole for citizens of countries such as Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Also, according to experts’ estimates, Trump is likely to cancel the law of non-deportation of people who are not considered a threat to public or national security.

2. Conclusion of agreements with third countries

Trump plans to implement policies similar to “Remain in Mexico” (Remain in Mexico), according to which immigrants seeking asylum must wait in third countries such as Mexico. The policy has been widely criticized by human rights groups, but its supporters believe it will prevent the entry of illegal immigrants.

Currently, there are an estimated 11 to 12 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. This number includes people who either entered the country illegally or remained in the United States illegally after their visas expired. Some sources have mentioned the highest estimate of around 16.8 million people, but most estimates are in the range of 11 to 12 million.

This population includes people from different countries, for example, illegal immigrants from Mexico are still the largest group, but their numbers have decreased in recent years and now number about four million. Meanwhile, the number of illegal immigrants from other regions such as Latin America, Asia and Europe has been increasing. Of course, this statistic may vary due to changes in border and immigration policies, as well as problems in collecting accurate information.

3. Mass deportation and internal repression

Trump has promised to implement the largest deportation operation in American history, focusing on immigrants living in the United States without permission. In addition, labor inspections and cooperation with local authorities to identify and detain undocumented immigrants are part of the plan. Critics believe that the implementation of this plan leads to discrimination and separation of families.

4. Changes in legal immigration

Trump plans to limit programs like the H-1B visa to prioritize American workers. H-1B visa is a type of American work visa non-immigrant It allows US employers to hire foreign workers with specialized skills to work in the country for a specific period of time.

It is also possible that the family-based immigration system may be reduced and a merit-based immigration model will be implemented instead. He is probably the lawpublic He also restored the public charge, according to which immigrants who have used government assistance cannot Green get a card

End of speech

The second term of Trump’s presidency will be accompanied by the prospect of serious and strict changes in immigration and border laws. This tough policy is evident with Trump’s previous and current appointments, before his re-entry into the White House. In addition to the conservative judges that Trump has already appointed in the judicial system of the United States, the people who were introduced in the Trump team in the past days also show different immigration policies.

Trump has already tapped South Dakota Gov. Christy Nome, who has little experience with the Department of Homeland Security, to lead the agency. In the White House, “Stephen Miller“, which was a symbol of the implementation of limited policies in Trump’s first term, will have a role in the country’s domestic policy. Thomas Homan, the former head of the immigration department during Trump’s first term, is returning to become the administration’s border Caesar. With all this, it seems that the team responsible for implementing Trump’s immigration policies will definitely not be stricter than himself.

The depth of the disaster shows itself when Trump, as the president-elect of the United States, has recently announced on social networks that he will even resort to the military to deport illegal immigrants en masse from this country.

These strict and zero-tolerance policies on borders and immigrants may have long-term effects not only on the phenomenon of immigration, but also on the economy and the international image of America. In addition, the implementation of these controversial and troublesome changes will depend on the intensity of legal and public resistance in the world, especially the American society. As in the previous period, Trump officially withdrew from the implementation of the inhumane plan to separate immigrant children and parents under internal and external pressure, this time there is a possibility that he will withdraw from some programs.
