Trump comes out swinging with illegal immigration policy paper


Grab your box of Depends. The Donald means business.

Some highlights:








  • Triple the number of ICE officers
  • Implement nationwide e-verify
  • Mandatory deportation of all criminal aliens
  • No more catch and release
  • Cut-off federal funds to sanctuary cities
  • Criminalize visa overstays
  • Deploy ICE with local police in gang raids
  • End birthright citizenship
  • Increase prevailing wage requirements for H-1B visas to stem the tide of foreign hires at US workers' expense
  • Immigrants must prove they are self-supporting
  • Terminate the jobs program for foreign youth
  • Suspend issuance of green cards to foreign workers until employment improves for citizens
  • Make Mexico pay for the wall, or impound remittances derived from illegal wages ($22 billion in 2013) and increase fees on temporary visas of Mexican CEOs and diplomats, on all border crossing cards, on NAFTA worker visas and at all ports of entry from Mexico
  • Generally restore the rule of law and order by actually enforcing existing laws
